Abstract
In order to meet the increasingly stringent emission regulations for NOx in the exhaust gas of engines, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is extensively studied and practiced. The key to this technology is the catalyst utilized in the chemical reactions of SCR. It is required to develop the SCR catalyst with good low-temperature performance and a wide active temperature window. A series of Cerium-based metal oxides TiCemWrO2−δ synthesized by solution combustion synthesis is studied in this paper. The SCR activity test was used to select the catalyst with the best performance. The NO conversion rate of the best catalyst in our studies reached 80% at 150 °C, kept 100% from 200 °C to 420 °C and the N2 selectivity remained above 95% for 100–500 °C. The SO2 resistance test was carried out at 250 °C and proved that our catalyst had good SO2 resistance. During the test, the NO conversion rate slightly decreased while 100 ppm SO2 was injected, but it remained above 80% for 24 h. The NO conversion rate recovered to the original value when the SO2 supply was cut off. The N2 selectivity remained at 100% throughout the process. Catalysts were characterized using BET, XRD, and SEM methods. In-situ DRIFTS method was used to study the reaction mechanism of the TiCe0.2W0.2O2−δ catalyst. It showed that the NH4+ species absorbed on the Brønsted acid played a dominant role in the SCR reactions. The bridge nitrate resulted from the NO absorption and gas phase NO was involved in the reaction. In conclusion, the mechanism studied included two routes of L-H and E-R.
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.
