Abstract
Red mud (RM), an iron oxide-rich solid waste, shows potential as a catalyst for selective catalytic reduction in denitrification processes. This study investigates the catalytic performance and mechanism of metal-modified RM in reducing NO from diesel vehicle exhaust. Acid-washed RM catalysts were impregnated with varying ratios of cerium (Ce) and zirconium (Zr). Our findings revealed that doping with Ce and Zr significantly enhances the denitrification activity at medium and low temperatures, highlighting the promising applicability of these elements as effective modification additives. The optimal performance was observed with a Ce:Zr loading ratio of 1:1, achieving 85% NO conversion at 250 °C. This conversion remained above 80% up to 400 °C, with a maximum of 92% NO conversion at 325 °C, thereby significantly widening the temperature window. Additionally, in-situ DRIFTS analysis revealed that the reaction process followed both the Eley-Rideal and Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
