In situ supported MnO(x)-CeO(x) on carbon nanotubes for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3.

Abstract: The MnOx and CeOx were in situ supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by a poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) assisted reflux route for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) have been used to elucidate the structure and surface properties of the obtained catalysts. It was found that the in situ prepared catalyst exhibited the highest activity and the most extensive operating-temperature window, compared to the catalysts prepared by impregnation or mechanically mixed methods. The XRD and TEM results indicated that the manganese oxide and cerium oxide species had a good dispersion on the CNT surface. The XPS results demonstrated that the higher atomic concentration of Mn existed on the surface of CNTs and the more chemisorbed oxygen species exist. The H2-TPR results suggested that there was a strong interaction between the manganese oxide and cerium oxide on the surface of CNTs. The NH3-TPD results demonstrated that the catalysts presented a larger acid amount and stronger acid strength. In addition, the obtained catalysts exhibited much higher SO2-tolerance and improved the water-resistance as compared to that prepared by impregnation or mechanically mixed methods.

Alumina-supported silver catalysts for the selective reduction of nitric oxide with propene and oxygen-containing organic compounds

Abstract: The selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with propene and oxygen-containing organic compounds over several alumina-supported metal catalysts was investigated. Alumina-supported silver catalysts showed high activities in the presence of water and excess oxygen, while water vapor significantly decreased the activities of alumina and Co/Al2O3 which were highly active in the absence of water. It was also found that oxygen-containing organic compounds such as ethanol and acetone were more effective than propene in reducing nitric oxide over Ag/Al2O3 in the presence of water and excess oxygen.

Mechanistic Aspects of deNOx Processing over TiO2 Supported Co–Mn Oxide Catalysts: Structure–Activity Relationships and In Situ DRIFTs Analysis

Abstract: Anatase TiO2-supported manganese and cobalt oxide catalysts with different Co/Mn molar ratios were synthesized by a conventional impregnation method and used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed desorption with NH3 and NOx. Characterization of the catalyst confirmed that by using Co3O4 over Mn/TiO2, we enhanced NO oxidation ability. From in situ diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy (DRIFTs) analysis of desorption and the transient reaction, we concluded that the addition of Co could remarkably lower the activation energy of NOx chemisorption on the catalyst surface. In addition, low-temperature SCR activity mainly results from a “fast SCR” reaction. We observed four NOx species (bidentate nitrates, gaseous NO2, linear nitrites, and monodentate nitrites) on the surface of Mn/TiO2 and Co–Mn/TiO2 catalysts that all participated in the...

Influence of NO2 on the selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia over Fe-ZSM5

Abstract: The influence of NO2 on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia was studied over Fe-ZSM5 coated on cordierite monolith. NO2 in the feed drastically enhanced the NOx removal efficiency (DeNOx) up to 600 °C, whereas the promoting effect was most pronounced at the low temperature end. The maximum activity was found for NO2/NOx = 50%, which is explained by the stoichiometry of the actual SCR reaction over Fe-ZSM5, requiring a NH3:NO:NO2 ratio of 2:1:1. In this context, it is a special feature of Fe-ZSM5 to keep this activity level almost up to NO2/NOx = 100%. The addition of NO2 to the feed gas was always accompanied by the production of N2O at lower and intermediate temperatures. The absence of N2O at the high temperature end is explained by the N2O decomposition and N2O-SCR reaction. Water and oxygen influence the SCR reaction indirectly. Oxygen enhances the oxidation of NO to NO2 and water suppresses the oxidation of NO to NO2, which is an essential preceding step of the actual SCR reaction for NO2/NOx
