TL;DR: The low-temperature behavior of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process with feed gases containing both NO and NO2 was investigated in this article, where the two main reactions are 4NH3 + 2NO + 2 NO2 → 4N2 + 6H2O and 2NH3+ 2NO2 → NH4NO3 + N2 + H2O.
Abstract: The low-temperature behavior of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process with feed gases containing both NO and NO2 was investigated. The two main reactions are 4NH3 + 2NO + 2NO2 → 4N2 + 6H2O and 2NH3 + 2NO2 → NH4NO3 + N2 + H2O. The “fast SCR reaction” exhibits a reaction rate at least 10 times higher than that of the well-known standard SCR reaction with pure NO and dominates at temperatures above 200 °C. At lower temperatures, the “ammonium nitrate route” becomes increasingly important. Under extreme conditions, e.g., a powder catalyst at T ≈ 140 °C, the ammonium nitrate route may be responsible for the whole NOx conversion observed. This reaction leads to the formation of ammonium nitrate within the pores of the catalyst and a temporary deactivation. For a typical monolithic sample, the lower threshold temperature at which no degradation of catalyst activity with time is observed is around 180 °C. The ammonium nitrate route is interesting from a standpoint of general DeNOx mechanisms: This reac...

TL;DR: In this article, the standard and fast selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH3 are described in a complete catalytic cycle that is able to produce the correct stoichiometry while allowing adsorption and desorption of stable molecules only.
Abstract: For the first time, the standard and fast selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH3 are described in a complete catalytic cycle that is able to produce the correct stoichiometry while allowing adsorption and desorption of stable molecules only. The standard SCR reaction is a coupling of the activation of NO by O2 with the fast SCR reaction, enabled by the release of NO2. According to the scheme, the SCR reaction can be divided into an oxidation of the catalyst by NO + O2 and a reduction by NO + NH3; these steps together constitute a complete catalytic cycle. Furthermore, both NO and NH3 are required in the reduction, and finally, oxidation by NO + O2 or NO2 leads to the same state of the catalyst. These points are shown experimentally for a Cu-CHA catalyst by combining in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A consequence of the reaction scheme is that all intermediates in fast SCR are also part of the s...

TL;DR: A Highly active, time stable, and water resistant, Hombikat TiO2 supported Mn catalyst has been developed for the selective reduction of NO by NH3.
Abstract: A Highly active, time stable, and water resistant, Hombikat TiO2 supported Mn catalyst has been developed for the selective reduction of NO by NH3 [Eq. (1)]. The analogous Cu and Cr supported catalysts also provide 100 % N2 selectivity at ≤120°C. Lewis acidity, redox properties, and a high surface metal oxide concentration are essential for good catalytic performance.
