Nitric Acid → Lanthanum nitrate

Temperature

80 °C

Zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2.8H2O) (36.1 g, 0.112 mole) was dissolved in 50 ml of water. Separately, monosodium phosphate (NaH2PO4.2H2O) (156 g, 1 mole) was dissolved in 200 ml of 3 N hydrochloric acid followed by heating the resulting solution to 80° C. The former solution was then added to the latter solution with stirring to form a white precipitate. After continuing the stirring for a further one hour, the white precipitate was thoroughly water-washed by the decantation method, after which it was filtrably separated and washed in water. After drying the white precipitate at 120° C., it was calcined in air at 400° C., and thereafter molded into granules of 10-16-mesh size to prepare a Zr(HPO4)2 catalyst. Next, lanthanum oxide (La2O3) (0.065 mole) was completely dissolved in an aqueous nitric acid solution, after which the resulting solution was concentrated by heating to prepare lanthanum nitrate, to which 400 cc of water was added to form an aqueous lanthanum nitrate solution. When 100 cc of an aqueous solution containing 20.3 g (0.143 mole) of sodium hydrogenphosphate (Na2HPO4) was added to the aqueous lanthanum nitrate solution, a white precipitate formed. The precipitate thus obtained was stirred at 80° C. for one hour, after which it was thoroughly washed in water. The precipitate was separated by filtration, water-washed and dried at 120° C. The white precipitate was then calcined in a stream of air at 400° C. for 6 hours. The calcined product was then molded into granules of 10-16-mesh size to prepare a LaPO4 catalyst.
