Thermal analysis has been used to investigate the crystallization of ZrxCe1-xO2 mixed oxides, prepared by co-precipitation of corresponding hydroxides. For x≤0.5, small crystals of CeO2, were formed at low temperatures (373 K). For x>0.5 an exothermic peak at 420°C (693 K) was observed after calcination under a flow of air of hydroxide samples. This peak was associated with the formation of a ZrxCe1-xO2 solid solution (XRD) in a tetragonal phase (Raman). The solids calcined at 700°C (973 K) present a reactivity towards the carbon black oxidation. The thermal analysis coupled with a gas chromatograph (GC) were used to follow this reactivity. Simultaneous study of the activity (thermal analysis) and the selectivity (GC) in CO or CO2 of the different catalysts revealed an important parameter: a catalyst-soot particle contact. We also obtained a more precise comparison of ZrxCe1-xO2 oxides in the catalytic soot combustion.
