Comparison study of Cu-Fe-Ti and Co-Fe-Ti oxide catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 at low temperature

Hydrotalcite-Modified Clinoptilolite as the Catalyst for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with Ammonia (NH3-SCR)

A series of clinoptilolite-supported catalysts, modified with hydrotalcite-like phase (HT) by co-precipitation, were prepared and tested in NH₃-SCR reactions. It was found that deposition of HT on clinoptilolite increased conversion of NO within 250-450 °C, and that the positive impact on the catalytic activity was independent of HT loading. The promoting effect of clinoptilolite was attributed to Brönsted acid sites present in the zeolite, which facilitated adsorption and accumulation of ammonia during the catalytic process. Concentration of N₂O in the post-reaction gas mixture reached its maximum at 300 °C and the by-product was most likely formed as a consequence of NH₄NO₃ decomposition or side reaction of NH₃ oxidation in the high-temperature region. The gradual elimination of nitrous oxide, noticed as the material with the highest concentration of hydrotalcite phase, was attributed to the abundance of oligomeric iron species and the superior textural parameters of the material. UV-Vis experiments performed on the calcined samples indicated that Fe sites of higher nuclearity were generated by thermal decomposition of the hydrotalcite phase during the catalytic reaction. Therefore, calcination of the materials prior to the catalytic tests was not required to obtain satisfactory overall catalytic performance in NO reductions.

Enhancement of the activity of Cu/TiO2 catalyst by Eu modification for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3

The Cu/TiO₂ catalysts with the addition of Eu were developed by the sol-gel way for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO_x by NH₃. Activity tests revealed that CuEu/TiO₂-0.15 catalyst showed the optimal de-NO_x performance in a wide temperature range (150-300 °C), along with an admirable SO₂ tolerance. According to characterization analysis, the relationship between the NH₃-SCR performance and physicochemical characters of samples was explored. The adjunction of Eu on Cu/TiO₂ catalyst can contribute to the formation of a large amount of Cu²⁺, adsorbed oxygen, and acid sites on the catalyst surface. Moreover, the Eu addition on Cu/TiO₂ is favorable to the generation of activated NO_x and NH₃ substances adsorbed on the catalyst surface, which would conduce to the NH₃-SCR process by Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism effectively.

Insights over Titanium Modified FeMgOx Catalysts for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH3: Influence of Precursors and Crystalline Structures

Titanium modified FeMgOx catalysts with different precursors were prepared by coprecipitation method with microwave thermal treatment. The iron precursor is a key factor affecting the surface active component. The catalyst using FeSO4 and Mg(NO3)2 as precursors exhibited enhanced catalytic activity from 225 to 400 °C, with a maximum NOx conversion of 100%. Iron oxides existed as γ-Fe2O3 in this catalyst. They exhibited highly enriched surface active oxygen and surface acidity, which were favorable for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. Besides, it showed advantage in surface area, spherical particle distribution and pores connectivity. Amorphous iron-magnesium-titanium mixed oxides were the main phase of the catalysts using Fe(NO3)3 as a precursor. This catalyst exhibited a narrow T90 of 200/250–350 °C. Side reactions occurred after 300 °C producing NOx, which reduced the NOx conversion. The strong acid sites inhibited the side reactions, and thus improved the catalytic performance above 300 °C. The weak acid sites appeared below 200 °C, and had a great impact on the low-temperature catalytic performance. Nevertheless, amorphous iron-magnesium-titanium mixed oxides blocked the absorption and activation between NH3 and the surface strong acid sites, which was strengthened on the γ-Fe2O3 surface.

Promotional effect of doping Cu into cerium-titanium binary oxides catalyst for deep oxidation of gaseous dichloromethane

In recent years, significant effort has been made in the development of novel catalysts for the total oxidation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds. In this work the catalytic activity of Cu doped cerium-titanium binary oxides for the oxidation of dichloromethane (DCM) have been studied for the first time. Combining catalysts characterization and activity data, it was found that Cu ions can uniformly disperse into titanium dioxide to form solid solution and induce the creation of additional surface oxygen species on the catalysts surface, while moderate amount of Ce ions are still needed for the activation of CCl. Detailed analysis of the in-situ FTIR experiment results revealed that the surface oxygen species, especially the hydroxyl groups associated with Cu ions, can promote the deep oxidation of the intermediate species formed in the nucleophilic substitution process occurred on the active sites of catalysts surface. The sample with the Cu/Ce molar ratio of 1:3 obtained a better CO₂ selectivity than that reached with cerium-titanium binary oxides. Meanwhile, according to element balance analysis, removal of chlorine from the catalyst surface was also promoted by Cu doping.
