Abstract
Al-rich (Si/Al = 4-6) Cu-SSZ-13 has been recognized as one of the potential catalysts to replace the commercial Cu-SSZ-13 (Si/Al = 10-12) towards ammonia-assisted selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR). However, poor hydrothermal stability is a great obstacle for Al-rich zeolites to meet the catalytic applications containing water vapor. Herein, we demonstrate that the hydrothermal stability of Al-rich Cu-SSZ-13 can be dramatically enhanced via Pr-ion modification. Particularly, after high-temperature hydrothermal aging (HTA), CuPr1.2-SSZ-13-HTA with an optimal Pr content of 1.2 wt% exhibits a T80 (temperature window of NO conversion above 80%) window of 225-550 °C and a T90 window of 250-350 °C. These values are superior to those of Cu-SSZ-13-HTA (225-450 °C for T80 and no T90 window). The results of X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and spectral characterization reveal that Pr ions mainly located in the eight-membered rings (8MRs) in SSZ-13 zeolite can inhibit the generation of inactive CuOx during hydrothermal aging. This finding is further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which suggest that the presence of Pr ions restrains the transformation from Cu2+ ions in 6MRs into CuOx, resulting in enhanced hydrothermal stability. It is also noted that an excessive amount of Pr ions in Cu-SSZ-13 would result in the production of CuOx that causes the decline of catalytic performance. The present work provides a promising strategy for creating a hydrothermally stable Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite catalyst by adding secondary metal ions.

Abstract
The mechanistic cause of the enhancement of the C3H6-SCR activity of Ag/Al2O3 by trace Pd doping and the corresponding structure-property relationship were investigated. Pd doping enhanced the water resistance of Ag/Al2O3 for C3H6-SCR by changing the reaction pathway. Under wet conditions, a series of in situ DRIFT studies indicated that the production of an active acetate intermediate on Ag/Al2O3 was suppressed during the partial oxidation of C3H6, while trace Pd doping promoted the formation of another active intermediate, an enolic species. Furthermore, a pathway for the formation of enolic species by the reaction of acrylate with hydroxyl species was proposed. DFT calculations revealed that the surface of Ag clusters was easily covered by hydroxyl in the presence of water vapor, which could inhibit the formation of acetates. Doping with Pd facilitated the activation of acrylate which might further react with hydroxyl species to form enolic species. These findings can be helpful for the future design of efficient HC-SCR catalysts.

Abstract
The complex poisoning of Cu-KFI catalysts by SO2 and hydrothermal aging (HTA) was investigated. The low-temperature activity of Cu-KFI catalysts was restrained by the formation of H2SO4 and then CuSO4 after sulfur poisoning. Hydrothermally aged Cu-KFI exhibited better SO2 resistance than fresh Cu-KFI since HTA significantly reduced the number of Brønsted acid sites, which were considered to be the H2SO4 storage sites. The high-temperature activity of SO2-poisoned Cu-KFI was basically unchanged compared to the fresh catalyst. However, SO2 poisoning promoted the high-temperature activity of hydrothermally aged Cu-KFI since it triggered CuOx into CuSO4 species, which was considered as an important role in the NH3-SCR reaction at high temperatures. In addition, hydrothermally aged Cu-KFI catalysts were more easily regenerated after SO2 poisoning than fresh Cu-KFI on account of the instability of CuSO4.

Economical and Sustainable Synthesis of Small-Pore Chabazite Catalysts for NO x Abatement by Recycling Organic Structure-Directing Agents. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 2023; 57:655-665.

Abstract
The application of small-pore chabazite-type SSZ-13 zeolites, key materials for the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in automotive exhausts and the selective conversion of methane, is limited by the use of expensive N,N,N-trimethyl-1-ammonium adamantine hydroxide (TMAdaOH) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) during hydrothermal synthesis. Here, we report an economical and sustainable route for SSZ-13 synthesis by recycling and reusing the OSDA-containing waste liquids. The TMAdaOH concentration in waste liquids, determined by a bromocresol green colorimetric method, was found to be a key factor for SSZ-13 crystallization. The SSZ-13 zeolite synthesized under optimized conditions demonstrates similar physicochemical properties (surface area, porosity, crystallinity, Si/Al ratio, etc.) as that of the conventional synthetic approach. We then used the waste liquid-derived SSZ-13 as the parent zeolite to synthesize Cu ion-exchanged SSZ-13 (i.e., Cu-SSZ-13) for ammonia-mediated selective catalytic reduction of NOx (NH3-SCR) and observed a higher activity as well as better hydrothermal stability than Cu-SSZ-13 by conventional synthesis. In situ infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy investigations revealed that the superior NH3-SCR performance of waste liquid-derived Cu-SSZ-13 results from a higher density of Cu2+ sites coordinated to paired Al centers on the zeolite framework. The technoeconomic analysis highlights that recycling OSDA-containing waste liquids could reduce the raw material cost of SSZ-13 synthesis by 49.4% (mainly because of the higher utilization efficiency of TMAdaOH) and, meanwhile, the discharging of wastewater by 45.7%.

Abstract
A series of CeCrM/TiO2 (M = La, Cu, Fe, LaCu, LaFe) catalysts were prepared via impregnation method and are employed as low-temperature NH3-SCR catalysts. The present study investigates the low-dose element doping on the TiO2-supported catalyst to improve the NH3-SCR performance. And CeCrLaCu/TiO2 exhibited the best catalytic performance (NO conversion approaching 100% at 260-420 °C). The characterization results show that the synergistic effect of LaCu and LaFe on the catalytic performance was more obvious than that of Cu, Fe, and La alone. The doping of LaCu/LaFe decreased the specific surface area of the catalyst but increased the dispersion, surface acidity, and reducibility of the catalyst. Moreover, LaCu/LaFe promoted the formation of valence state distribution and oxygen vacancy content on the surface of the catalyst. There were more Ce3+, Cr6+, Cu+, and oxygen adsorbed on the surface of the CeCrLaCu/TiO2 catalyst. H2-TPR analysis showed that the synergistic effect of LaCu was more likely to promote the reduction of Cr and Cu and increase the reduction degree of metal oxides. However, Fe is easier to coordinate with La, thus improving the redox performance of the catalyst. Compared with CeCrLaFe/TiO2, the ammonia adsorption capacity of CeCrLaCu/TiO2 is better. Therefore, the synergistic effect of LaCu can promote the reaction performance of NH3-SCR better.
