Ordered mesoporous materials in catalysis

A series of manganese-cerium oxide catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method and used for low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with ammonia in the presence of excess O 2 . These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area measurement and FTIR. The experimental results showed that the best Mn-Ce mixed-oxide catalyst yielded 95% NO conversion at 150 °C at a space velocity of 42,000 h −1 . As the manganese content was increased from 0 to 40% (i.e. the molar ratio of Mn/(Mn+Ce)), NO conversion increased significantly, but decreased at higher manganese contents. The most active catalyst was obtained with a molar Mn/(Mn+Ce) ratio of 0.4. Only N 2 rather than N 2 O was found in the product when the temperature was below 150 °C. At higher temperatures, trace amounts of N 2 O were detected. A mechanistic pathway for this reaction was proposed based on earlier findings and FTIR results obtained in this work. The initial step was the adsorption of NH 3 on Lewis acid sites of catalyst, followed by reaction with nitrite species to produce N 2 and H 2 O. Possible intermediates are proposed and all the intermediates could transform into NH 2 NO, which could further react to produce N 2 and H 2 O.

Low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 over metal oxide and zeolite catalysts—A review

CeO(2)/TiO(2) and CeO(2)-WO(3)/TiO(2) catalysts prepared by impregnation method assisted with ultrasonic energy were investigated on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO(x) (NO and NO(2)) by NH(3). The catalytic activity of 10% CeO(2)/TiO(2) (CeTi) was greatly enhanced by the addition of 6% WO(3) in the broad temperature range of 200-500 °C, the promotion mechanism was proposed on basis of the results of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy (DRIFT). When NH(3) was introduced into both catalysts preadsorbed with NO + O(2), SCR would not proceed except for the reaction between NO(2) and ammonia. For CeO(2)/TiO(2) catalysts, coordinated NH(3) linked to Lewis acid sites were the main adsorbed ammonia species. When NO + O(2) was introduced, all the ammonia species consumed rapidly, indicating that these species could react with NO(x) effectively. Two different reaction routes, L-H mechanism at low temperature ( 200 °C), were presented for SCR reaction over CeO(2)/TiO(2) catalyst. For CeO(2)-WO(3)/TiO(2) catalysts, the Lewis acid sites on Ce(4+) state could be converted to Bronsted acid sites due to the unsaturated coordination of Ce(n+) and W(n+) ions. When NO + O(2) was introduced, the reaction proceeded more quickly than that on CeO(2)/TiO(2). The reaction route mainly followed E-R mechanism in the temperature range investigated (150-350 °C) over CeO(2)-WO(3)/TiO(2) catalysts. Tungstation was beneficial for the formation of Ce(3+), which would influence the active sites of the catalyst and further change the mechanisms of SCR reaction. In this way, the cooperation of tungstation and the presence of Ce(3+) state resulted in the better activity of CeO(2)-WO(3)/TiO(2) compared to that of CeO(2)/TiO(2).
