Abstract
The presence of alkali metals in flue gas can lead to catalyst poisoning, which can significantly impact the de-NOx efficiency of the catalyst. There is a lack of specific studies on the influence of potassium (K) poisoning on the efficiency of γ-Fe2O3. In this study, the mechanism of K poisoning on the γ-Fe2O3 surface was studied based on DFT, and the influence of K on molecular adsorption and SCR reaction process was analyzed. The results show that the K2O and KCl provide O, K, and Cl ions when deposited on the catalyst surface. The adsorption and dehydrogenation processes of NH3 were enhanced to varying degrees near the O and Cl iron sites, but the subsequent generation and decomposition of NH2NO were inhibited. On the sites near K cations, the adsorption, dehydrogenation, and subsequent SCR reaction processes of NH3 are hindered, and the adverse effects on the reaction are greater on the Fe sites closer to K. As well as the presence of K can to some extent promote the adsorption of NO and O2.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
