The additives were 20 % of CeO2. All the prepared catalysts were characterized by Nitrogen physical adsorption (BET)、X-ray diffraction (XRD)、Temperature- program reduction (TPR)、N2O titration 、Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and Energy disperse spectrum (EDS). From BET analysis , it was found that total surface area was decreased and average pore diameter was increased with calcination temperature for all the catalysts. XRD pattern shows that no detectable copper peak appears for all the catalysts except IE series. TPR profiles reveals that all catalysts with cerium oxide addition except IE series present an α-peak which corresponds to the copper oxide interacting with cerium oxide. N2O titration indicates that cerium oxide addition can promote copper dispersion and increase copper surface area. EDS analysis find that higher find that the EI catalyst calcined at 650℃ for 3 hrs provides the best activity. The experiments also find that all the catalyst will be deactivated by water vapor. The degree of deactivation of activity depends not only on preparation method but also on calcinations temperature . Among the catalysts , the EI catalysts calcined at 700℃ presents the lowest degree of deactivation.
