The catalytic behavior for styrene hydrogenation of two seriesof La-promoted nickel/sepiolite catalysts (xLaNi and NixLa) isreported. Both series were prepared by two-step impregnations,but lanthanum was incorporated first and nickel afterward inNixLa series and the order was reversed inxLaNi samples. Thecatalysts were characterized by temperature-programmed reduction(TPR), kinetics of reduction by hydrogen, photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS), and infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO toobtain information on the nature and distribution of nickel andlanthanum in the oxidic and reduced samples. The kinetics ofreduction and XPS data indicate clearly that Ni2+ions interactstrongly with the sepiolite substrate inxLaNi samples and to alesser extent in NixLa series. The IR spectra of CO adsorbed onthe reduced catalysts demonstrate that the promotion ofNi/sepiolite catalyst with lanthana results in a change in thedistribution of CO-adsorbed structures. It appears thatreconstruction of bridge-bonded species occurs via formation ofNi(100) surfaces. Moreover, CO can be adsorbed in a linear formon Ni atoms which are in contact with oxidic phase. The decreaseof the bridged form and relative higher concentration ofunreduced nickel species gives an indication that lanthanum isdeposited on the nickel particles, leading to a decrease in theprobability to have adjacent nickel atoms on the surface. Theobserved stable maximum in activity for the Ni7.1La catalyst iscaused not only by covering by La a larger fraction of thesilicate substrate but also by isolating Ni atomson the surface of Ni crystallites by La2O3patches deposited on it.
