Abstract
To investigate the enhancing effect of Mn on the performance of simultaneous catalytic oxidation of AsH3 and PH3 by CuO-Al2O3 in a reducing atmosphere under micro-oxygen conditions, Cu-Mn modified γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared. The characteristics of the catalysts showed that Mn reduced the crystallinity of the active CuO component, increased the number of oxygen vacancies and acidic sites on the catalyst surface, enhanced the mobility of surface oxygen, and the interaction between copper and manganese promoted the redox cycling ability of the catalysts and improved their oxidation performance, which increased the conversion frequency (TOF) by 2.54 × 10-2 to 3.07 × 10-2 sec-1. On the other hand, the introduction of Mn reduced the production of phosphate and As2O3 on the catalyst surface by 30.96% and 44.9%, which reduced the coverage and inerting of the active sites by phosphate and As2O3, resulting in an 8 hr (6 hr) improvement in the stability of PH3 (AsH3) removal.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:96543-96553.

Abstract
Developing an environmentally friendly selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst to effectively eliminate both nitric oxides (NO) and toluene has garnered significant attention for regulating emissions from automobiles and the combustion of fossil fuels. This study synthesized a series of novel commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts modified with Cu through the wet impregnation method, which was employed to simultaneously remove NO and toluene from the fuel gas. The assessment of catalyst removal performance was conducted at a selective catalytic reduction system, and the experimental results showed a significant increase in the catalytic activity due to the modification of the copper metal. The 10% Cu/SCR catalyst showed a superior activity that the NO and toluene conversion reached 100% and 95.56% at 300 °C, respectively. Subsequently, various characterization techniques were employed to investigate the crystal phase, morphology, physical features, chemical states, and surface acidity properties of the synthesis catalysts. According to the characterization results, the presence of Cu metal did not have a noticeable impact on the physical property. However, the redox performance was enhanced, and the number of surface acidic sites was also increased after adding Cu to the SCR catalyst. Furthermore, the redox cycle of Cu metal and V species was facilitated to produce more active oxygen which helped to improve the NO and toluene conversion. This work offered a novel perspective into the synergistic oxidation of both NO and toluene, which was potentially relevant for improving the selective catalytic reduction process in coal-fired power plants.

Abstract
Traditional adsorbents undershot the expectations for arsine (AsH3) removal under low-temperature operation conditions in the industry. In this study, the copper (Cu) precursor was used to modify activated carbon and yield novel adsorbents by low-temperature roasting for high-efficiency removal of AsH3. The best conditions were determined as impregnation with 2 mol/L Cu(NO3)2 adsorbent and roasting at 180 °C. At a reaction temperature of 40 °C and an oxygen content of 1%, the AsH3 removal efficiency reached over 90% and lasted for 40 h and the best capacity of 369.6 mg/g was obtained with the Cu/Ac adsorbent. The characterization results showed the decomposition of Cu(NO3)2 during the low-temperature roasting process to form surface functional groups. The formation of the important intermediate Cu2(NO3)(OH)3 in the decomposition of Cu(NO3)2 into CuO plays a role in the good regeneration performance of the Cu/Ac adsorbent using water washing and the gas regeneration method. The results of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that the interaction of trace oxygen with Lewis (L) acid sites increased chemisorbed oxygen by 17.34%, significantly promoting the spontaneity of AsH3 oxidation reaction. These results provide a friendly economic method with industrial processes practical for AsH3 removal.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:2641.

Abstract
As a heavy metal, Pb is one component in coal-fired flue gas and is widely considered to have a strong negative effect on catalyst activity in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3 (NH3-SCR). In this paper, we investigated the deactivation mechanism of the Mo-Ce/Zr-PILC catalyst induced by Pb in detail. We found that NO conversion over the 3Mo4Ce/Zr-PILC catalyst decreased greatly after the addition of Pb. The more severe deactivation induced by Pb was attributed to low surface area, lower amounts of chemisorbed oxygen species and surface Ce3+, and lower redox ability and surface acidity (especially a low number of Brønsted acid sites). Furthermore, the addition of Pb inhibited the formation of highly active intermediate nitrate species generated on the surface of the catalyst, hence decreasing the NH3-SCR activity.

Abstract
This review aims to give a general overview of the recent use of tungsten-based catalysts for wide environmental applications, with first some useful background information about tungsten oxides. Tungsten oxide materials exhibit suitable behaviors for surface reactions and catalysis such as acidic properties (mainly Brønsted sites), redox and adsorption properties (due to the presence of oxygen vacancies) and a photostimulation response under visible light (2.6–2.8 eV bandgap). Depending on the operating condition of the catalytic process, each of these behaviors is tunable by controlling structure and morphology (e.g., nanoplates, nanosheets, nanorods, nanowires, nanomesh, microflowers, hollow nanospheres) and/or interactions with other compounds such as conductors (carbon), semiconductors or other oxides (e.g., TiO2) and precious metals. WOx particles can be also dispersed on high specific surface area supports. Based on these behaviors, WO3-based catalysts were developed for numerous environmental applications. This review is divided into five main parts: structure of tungsten-based catalysts, acidity of supported tungsten oxide catalysts, WO3 catalysts for DeNOx applications, total oxidation of volatile organic compounds in gas phase and gas sensors and pollutant remediation in liquid phase (photocatalysis).
