Abstract
The specific activity of 0.8% Pt/Al2O3 catalysts in the deep oxidation of C1–C6 n-alkanes increases with an increase in the Pt particle size from 1 to 3–4 nm. Further coarsening of the particles insignificantly changes the specific activity. The size effect was studied for a series of catalysts containing platinum nanoparticles 1 to 11 nm in diameter. The specific catalytic activity variation range depends on the size of the reacting hydrocarbon molecules. As the platinum particle size increases, the specific catalytic activity increases 3–4 times for the oxidation of CH4 and C2H6 and by a factor of 20–30 for the oxidation of n-C4H10 and n-C6H14.
