The synthesis and characterization of sol-gel-derived cornhusk support for low-temperature catalytic methane combustion (LTCMC) were investigated in this study. The prepared cornhusk support was impregnated with palladium and cerium oxide (Pd/CeO2) via the classical incipient wetness method. The resulting catalyst was characterized using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). The catalytic performance of the Pd/CeO2/CHSiO2 catalyst was evaluated for methane combustion in the temperature range of 150–600 °C using a temperature-controlled catalytic flow reactor, and its performance was compared with a commercial catalyst. The results showed that the Pd/CeO2 dispersed on SiO2 from the cornhusk ash support (Pd/CeO2/CHSiO2) catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for methane combustion, with a conversion of 50% at 394 °C compared with 593 °C for the commercial silica catalyst (Pd/CeO2/commercial). Moreover, the Pd/CeO2/CHSiO2 catalyst displayed better catalytic stability after 10 h on stream, with a 7% marginal loss in catalytic activity compared with 11% recorded for the Pd/CeO2/commercial catalyst. The N2 physisorption and H2-TPR results indicated that the cornhusk SiO2 support possessed a higher surface area and strong reducibility than the synthesized commercial catalyst, contributing to the enhanced catalytic activity of the Pd/CeO2/SiO2 catalyst. Overall, the SiO2 generated from cornhusk ash exhibited promising potential as a low-cost and environmentally friendly support for LTCMC catalysts. |
