Effects of the crystalline structure and surface property of the Al2O3 support on the NOx storage and reduction (NSR) performance of Pt-BaO/Al2O3 catalysts were studied using catalysts prepared from a series of Al2O3 samples obtained by varying the calcination temperature of an Al(OH)(3) hydrogel in the range of 450-1000 degrees C (referred to as the pre-calcination temperature, PCT). The texture, crystalline structure and surface acidity of the Al2O3(PCT) supports were measured employing nitrogen adsorption-desorption, XRD, NH3-TPD and IR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine, respectively. The Al2O3(PCT) samples showed a gradual ordering of the gamma-Al2O3 phase when increasing the PCT from 450 to 800 degrees C, and a phase transition from the gamma- to theta-Al2O3 phase upon further increasing the PCT to 1000 degrees C. The surface density of Lewis acid sites of the Al2O3(PCT) samples exhibited a maximum at PCT in the range of 800-900 degrees C. The NSR performance of Pt-BaO/Al2O3 catalysts derived from the Al2O3(PCT) samples was studied under cyclic lean/rich conditions. The numbers of NOx stored and reduced on the Pt-BaO/Al2O3(PCT) catalysts showed similar volcano-type dependencies on PCT, peaking at PCT = 800 degrees C. The origins of the support PCT effect were discussed in the light of Pt particle size, the nature of BaO sites and Pt-BaO synergy. It was found that the increase in the crystallinity of the gamma-Al2O3 phase and the surface acid site density of the supporting Al2O3 samples would result in improved proximity and synergy between Pt and BaO sites, leading to much more efficient NSR Pt-BaO/Al2O3 catalysts.
