Abstract
This study investigates the performance regulation and mechanism of citric acid on the CeO2-WO3/TiO2 catalyst. The CeO2-WO3/TiO2-6 % catalyst exhibits a denitrification conversion rate exceeding 90 % within the temperature range of 217–517°C, with a significantly broader working temperature window. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent N2 selectivity and superior resistance to water and sulfur. Through a series of characterization methods, the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst were analyzed. The results indicate that the complexation of an appropriate amount of citric acid with Ce and W can refine the grain size, increase the specific surface area, and provide more acidic sites, significantly improving the adsorption properties. Moreover, the addition of citric acid during the preparation process can promote the electron transfer between active elements, increase the oxygen vacancy content, and enhance the catalyst's redox properties.
