Removal of nitrogen monoxide through a novel catalytic process. 1. Decomposition on excessively copper-ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites

Abstract: Repeated ion exchange of the ZSM-5 zeolite using aqueous copper(II) acetate solution was found to bring about excess loading of copper ions above an exchange level of 100%. The high activity of the resulting catalyst for NO decomposition was consistent for at least 30 h even at short contact time and low NO pressure. The number of copper ions that can adsorb NO molecules has been determined by a temperature-programmed desorption technique combined with IR measurement; 94% of Cu{sup 2+} ions in ZSM-5 were active for the adsorption. The activity of excessively copper ion exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite was slightly reduced by the oxygen in the feed gas while that of zeolite, of which the loading amount of copper was less than 100%, was greatly diminished under the same condition. SO{sub 2} completely poisons the activity at 673-923 K, but the activity can be regenerated at the higher temperature treatment.

Removal of nitrogen monoxide through a novel catalytic process. 2. Infrared study on surface reaction of nitrogen monoxide adsorbed on copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites

Abstract: The authors have studied the adsorption of NO onto copper loaded ion-exchanged zeolites by means of infrared spectroscopy coupled with isotopic techniques. Such zeolites have been reported to be catalytically active for the decomposition of NO, and the development of such catalysts for exhaust gas treatments is a major factor behind this work. The authors studied the molecular form that NO took when it was adsorbed, and the nature of the sites which would bind NO. They found bound forms of the nature, NO{sup {delta}+}, NO{sup {delta}{minus}}, and (NO){sub 2}{sup {delta}{minus}}. They also observed the formation of N{sub 2} and N{sub 2}O.

Activation of c-h bonds by metal complexes

Abstract: ion. The oxidative addition mechanism was originally proposed22i because of the lack of a strong rate dependence on polar factors and on the acidity of the medium. Later, however, the electrophilic substitution mechanism also was proposed. Recently, the oxidative addition mechanism was confirmed by investigations into the decomposition and protonolysis of alkylplatinum complexes, which are the reverse of alkane activation. There are two routes which operate in the decomposition of the dimethylplatinum(IV) complex Cs2Pt(CH3)2Cl4. The first route leads to chloride-induced reductive elimination and produces methyl chloride and methane. The second route leads to the formation of ethane. There is strong kinetic evidence that the ethane is produced by the decomposition of an ethylhydridoplatinum(IV) complex formed from the initial dimethylplatinum(IV) complex. In D2O-DCl, the ethane which is formed contains several D atoms and has practically the same multiple exchange parameter and distribution as does an ethane which has undergone platinum(II)-catalyzed H-D exchange with D2O. Moreover, ethyl chloride is formed competitively with H-D exchange in the presence of platinum(IV). From the principle of microscopic reversibility it follows that the same ethylhydridoplatinum(IV) complex is the intermediate in the reaction of ethane with platinum(II). Important results were obtained by Labinger and Bercaw62c in the investigation of the protonolysis mechanism of several alkylplatinum(II) complexes at low temperatures. These reactions are important because they could model the microscopic reverse of C-H activation by platinum(II) complexes. Alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) complexes were observed as intermediates in certain cases, such as when the complex (tmeda)Pt(CH2Ph)Cl or (tmeda)PtMe2 (tmeda ) N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylenediamine) was treated with HCl in CD2Cl2 or CD3OD, respectively. In some cases H-D exchange took place between the methyl groups on platinum and the, CD3OD prior to methane loss. On the basis of the kinetic results, a common mechanism was proposed to operate in all the reactions: (1) protonation of Pt(II) to generate an alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) intermediate, (2) dissociation of solvent or chloride to generate a cationic, fivecoordinate platinum(IV) species, (3) reductive C-H bond formation, producing a platinum(II) alkane σ-complex, and (4) loss of the alkane either through an associative or dissociative substitution pathway. These results implicate the presence of both alkane σ-complexes and alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) complexes as intermediates in the Pt(II)-induced C-H activation reactions. Thus, the first step in the alkane activation reaction is formation of a σ-complex with the alkane, which then undergoes oxidative addition to produce an alkylhydrido complex. Reversible interconversion of these intermediates, together with reversible deprotonation of the alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) complexes, leads to multiple H-D exchange

Chemical and mechanistic aspects of the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia over oxide catalysts: A review

Abstract: The open literature concerning chemical and mechanistic aspects of the selective catalytic reduction of NO by ammonia (SCR process) on metal oxide catalysts is reviewed. Catalytic systems based on supported V2O5 (including the industrial TiO2-supported V2O5–WO3 and/or V2O5–MoO3 catalysts) and catalysts containing Fe2O3, CuO, MnOx and CrOx are considered. The results of spectroscopic studies of the adsorbed surface species, adsorption–desorption measurements, flow reactor and kinetic experiments are analyzed. The proposed reaction mechanisms are described and critically discussed. Points of convergence and of disagreement are underlined.
