Selective catalytic reduction of NO by propane over CoO(x)/Al2O3: an investigation of the surface reactions using in situ infrared spectroscopy

The partial oxidation of propane and the mechanism of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by C3H8 over CoO(x)/Al2O3 catalysts were investigated using in situ infrared spectroscopy. Emphases are placed on the formation and reactivity of surface oxygenates during the SCR reaction. The SCR reaction starts with partial oxidation of propane to adsorbed acetate and formate. Impregnation of cobalt onto alumina greatly enhanced this reaction. The as-formed acetate acts as an efficient reductant for NO reduction. Surface nitrates (nitrites) are also reactive to propane and to oxygenates generated from C3H8 + O2 reaction. Surface -NCO species are formed over CoO(x)/Al2O3 catalysts. These nitrogen containing organic species are believed to be the direct intermediates in the final formation of N2. On the basis of these investigations, a proposed reaction mechanism explains the formation and roles of all intermediates detected by IR spectroscopy in this study.     

An IR study of NO adsorption on a CrOx/ZrO2 catalyst

The adsorption of NO at room temperature (RT) on a CrO_x/ZrO₂ catalyst has been investigated by IR spectroscopy and compared with data previously obtained by ESR spectroscopy and chemical titrations. Prior to NO adsorption, the sample was heated in O₂ at 923 K (average oxidation number of chromium, ñ = 5.5) and reduced in CO from 373 to 623 K (ñ varying from 5.5 to 2.5). The adsorption of NO on samples heated in O₂ yields mainly dinitrosyls of Cr^III, arising from the reduction of Cr^V. The adsorption of NO on samples reduced at 373 K yields mainly dinitrosyls of Cr^III, in addition to N₂O, nitrites and nitrates. The admission of NO on fully reduced samples (ñ = 2.5) yields dinitrosyls of Cr^III and mono- and dinitrosyls of Cr^II, in addition to N₂O, nitrites and nitrates. Upon evacuation of the latter sample at 423 K, the adsorbed NO oxidized most of the Cr^II to Cr^VI (ñ = 4.2) and, in fact, the nitrosyls of Cr^III are the only species detected by IR on NO readmission after evacuation treatment, in addition to N₂O_ads, nitrites and nitrates. Blank experiments on pure ZrO₂ show that the dismutation of NO leading to N₂O and nitrites (or nitrates) takes place on sites of the ZrO₂ support. When a fully reduced sample is further reacted with water at 853 K, mainly dinitrosyls and mononitrosyls of Cr^III are detected upon exposure to NO, since reaction with water selectively oxidized Cr^II to chromia-like species.     

Study by in situ FTIR of the SCR of NO by propene on Cu ion-exchanged Ti-PILC

Adsorption on Cu ion-exchanged titanium pillared clay (Cu-Ti-PILC) was investigated by in situ infrared spectroscopy to provide insight into the reaction intermediates present in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by propene in the presence of oxygen. The NO/O₂ adsorption produced different nitrate species due to the presence of terminal and bridged Cu²⁺–OH groups. These nitrates evolved into N₂ and N₂O in small amounts once the NO catalytic cycle was finished. It can be concluded that the Cu²⁺–OH groups reacted with the nitro group, thus forming nitrates. C₃H₆ adsorption was higher and stronger than NO adsorption on the active sites of the catalyst. C₃H₆ reacted in the active site producing hydrocarbon intermediates (an organic nitro compound and acetate), which were responsible for the NO reduction.     

The influence of the preparation method and the Co loading on the structure and activity of cobalt oxide/gamma-alumina catalysts for NO reduction by propene

In the present work we studied the influence of the preparation method and the Co loading on the physicochemical properties and the catalytic activity of the cobalt oxide/gamma-alumina catalysts for the reduction of NO by propene under net oxidizing conditions. Two series of catalysts containing 1 and 5% w/w Co, respectively, were prepared using three preparation methods, namely, the equilibrium deposition filtration (EDF), the conventional incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and the IWI adding nitrilotriacetic acid (nta) in the impregnating solution (IWInta). The catalysts were tested at various temperatures in the range 300-550 degrees C using a fixed-bed microreactor for the NO reduction by propene under lean burn conditions. The evolution of the Co species on the alumina surface was followed after each preparation step by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It was found that the catalysts of the first series were more active for the title reaction than those of the second one. The EDF sample of the first series was proved to be the most active and selective one followed by the IWI and then the IWInta sample of the same series. The DRS results indicated that the enhanced activity and selectivity of the EDF sample could be attributed to the increased concentration of isolated Co(II) inner sphere complexes of octahedral coordination, which are formed on the support surface by adsorption of the corresponding aqueous complexes, [Co(H2O)6]2+, being in the impregnating solution. These inner sphere complexes are transformed upon thermal treatment into a CoAl2O4 like phase with high dispersion. On the other hand, the [Co(H2O)6]2+(NO3)2- and [Co-nta]-.NH4+(or H+) and/or [Co-2nta]4+.4NH4+(or 4H+) complex salts, precipitated on the alumina surface upon drying in the cases of the IWI and IWInta samples, are transformed upon calcination into CoAl2O4 like phases with lower dispersion. All the samples of the second series promoted the propene combustion as well as the oxidation of NO and N2, used as carrier gas, to NO2. DRS results revealed that in all these samples cobalt(III) oxo species are formed in addition to the CoAl2O4 phase. These species are considered to be responsible for the enhancement of the rates of the oxidation reactions mentioned above.     

Low absorption vitreous carbon reactors for operando XAS: a case study on Cu/Zeolites for selective catalytic reduction of NO(x) by NH3

We describe the use of vitreous carbon as an improved reactor material for an operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) plug-flow reactor. These tubes significantly broaden the operating range for operando experiments. Using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO(x) by NH(3) on Cu/Zeolites (SSZ-13, SAPO-34 and ZSM-5) as an example reaction, we illustrate the high-quality XAS data achievable with these reactors. The operando experiments showed that in Standard SCR conditions of 300 ppm NO, 300 ppm NH(3), 5% O(2), 5% H(2)O, 5% CO(2) and balance He at 200 °C, the Cu was a mixture of Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxidation states. XANES and EXAFS fitting found the percent of Cu(I) to be 15%, 45% and 65% for SSZ-13, SAPO-34 and ZSM-5, respectively. For Standard SCR, the catalytic rates per mole of Cu for Cu/SSZ-13 and Cu/SAPO-34 were about one third of the rate per mole of Cu on Cu/ZSM-5. Based on the apparent lack of correlation of rate with the presence of Cu(I), we propose that the reaction occurs via a redox cycle of Cu(I) and Cu(II). Cu(I) was not found in in situ SCR experiments on Cu/Zeolites under the same conditions, demonstrating a possible pitfall of in situ measurements. A Cu/SiO(2) catalyst, reduced in H(2) at 300 °C, was also used to demonstrate the reactor's operando capabilities using a bending magnet beamline. Analysis of the EXAFS data showed the Cu/SiO(2) catalyst to be in a partially reduced Cu metal-Cu(I) state. In addition to improvements in data quality, the reactors are superior in temperature, stability, strength and ease of use compared to previously proposed borosilicate glass, polyimide tubing, beryllium and capillary reactors. The solid carbon tubes are non-porous, machinable, can be operated at high pressure (tested at 25 bar), are inert, have high material purity and high X-ray transmittance.     

SO2对Co/MOR催化剂上CH4选择催化还原NO反应性能的影响

考察了富氧条件下SO₂存在对丝光沸石负载的钴催化剂（Co/MOR）上甲烷选择催化还原NO的反应性能的影响,并采用NO程序升温脱附(NO-TPD)、X射线衍射(XRD)、H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)和紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-vis DRS)等技术对反应前后催化剂的NO吸附性能和结构特征进行了表征。结果表明,受SO₂气氛的影响,Co/MOR催化剂上NO转化率在低于550℃时下降较大,但在高于600℃时SO₂的影响不明显,而且这种影响是可逆的。SO₂的存在抑制了NO在催化剂活性位上的吸附,同时在反应过程中促进了CoO物种的生成,导致催化剂活性中心数减少、催化剂活性下降。     

Remarkable effect of the preparation technique on the state of cobalt ions in BEA zeolites evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and NO, TPR and XRD

The state of cobalt in two BEA zeolites was studied by XRD, TPR, and FTIR spectroscopy using CO and NO as probe molecules. One of the samples, CoAlBEA (0.4 wt % of Co), was prepared by conventional ion exchange and the other, CoSiBEA (0.7 wt % Co), by a two-step postsynthesis method involving dealuminated SiBEA zeolite. The introduction of Co into SiBEA leads to an increase of unit cell parameters of the BEA structure and to the consumption of silanol groups in vacant T-sites of the dealuminated zeolite. In contrast, no structural changes are observed after incorporation of cobalt into AlBEA by ion-exchange. The reduction temperature of cobalt in CoSiBEA zeolite (1130 K), is much higher than for CoAlBEA and indicates a strong interaction of cobalt ions with SiBEA. Low-temperature CO adsorption on CoAlBEA results in (i) H-bonded CO, (ii) Co(3+)-CO adducts (2,208 cm(-1)) and (iii) a small amount of Co(2+)-CO complexes (2,188 cm(-1)). In agreement with these results, NO adsorption leads to the appearance of (i) NO(+) (2,133 cm(-1), formed with the participation of the zeolite acidic hydroxyls), (ii) Co(3+)-NO (1932 cm(-1)), and (iii) a small amount of Co(2+)(NO)(2) dinitrosyls (nu(s) = 1,898 and nu(as) = 1,814 cm(-1)). Low-temperature CO adsorption on CoSiBEA leads to formation of two kinds of Co(2+)-CO adducts (2,185 and 2,178 cm(-1)). No Co(3+) cations are detected. In line with these results, adsorption of NO reveals the existence of two kinds of Co(2+)(NO)(2) dinitrosyls (nu(s) = 1,888 and nu(as) = 1,808 cm(-1) and nu(s) = 1,878 and nu(as) = 1,799 cm(-1), respectively).     

Effect of transition metal additives on composite cobalt catalyst for NO x reduction with CH4

The CoH-BZZ and CoH-BMZ catalysts have good catalytic activity in the selective catalytic reduction of NO (NO-SCR) by methane, but have less selectivity at the reaction temperatures above 600°C. It was found that the addition of different transition metals to CoH-BZZ took different effect on SCR of NO by methane. Besides, Zn additives improved effectively the selectivity of methane towards NOx reduction. The nature of the active sites is characterized by diffuse reflectance H₂-TPR and XPS. These techniques show that in both CoZn-BZZ and CoZn-BMZ catalysts the cobalt is present as mononuclear Co²⁺ species, and the bind energy also decreased compared with CoH-composites (-BZZ and -BMZ). Reactivity of both CoZn-BZZ and CoZn-BMZ is much higher than that found on Co based catalysts in temperature range between 500 and 650°C.     

氢气对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原Nox反应的影响

 添加H2对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原NOx反应具有不同的影响. 原位漫反射红外光谱分析表明,在Ag/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在促进了C3H6部分氧化产物烯醇式物种(RCH=CH-O-)和乙酸盐等的形成,烯醇式物种和硝酸盐为主要反应中间体,二者间的相互反应性能很强,能形成高浓度的反应关键中间体异氰酸酯(-NCO)表面吸附物种,因此NOx的去除活性提高; 而在Cu/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在并没有促进C3H6部分氧化产物的形成,而且抑制了硝酸盐的形成,进而抑制了C3H6部分氧化产物与硝酸盐反应形成表面-NCO 物种,导致NOx的去除活性降低.     

The Role of Lewis and Brønsted Acid Sites in NO Reduction with NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> on Sulfur Modified TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Supported V<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> Catalyst

V₂O₅/S-doped TiO₂ was prepared by the sol-gel and impregnation methods. The adsorption of NO, NH₃, and O₂ over the catalyst was studied by in situ DRIFTS spectroscopy to elucidate the reaction mechanism of the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH₃. Exposing the catalyst to O₂ and NO, three types of nitrates species appeared on the surface. The introduction of S to TiO₂ could generate large amounts of acid sites for ammonia adsorption on the catalyst, which was believed to be an important role in the SCR reaction and hereby improved the catalytic activity. The results indicated two possible SCR reaction pathways for catalyst. One was that NO was absorbed to form nitrite species, which could react with NH₃ on Lewis acid sites, producing N₂ and H₂O. Another way was that NH₃ was adsorbed, then reacted with gas phase NO (E–R) and nitrite intermediates on the surface (L–H).     

Mechanistic study of the SCR of NO with propylene over Co/ZSM-5 using in-situ FT-IR

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with propylene over Co-exchanged ZSM-5 (Co/ZSM-5) was studied using in-situ FTIR. Propylene was activated easily by NO in the absence of oxygen above 200°C, leading to the formation of three different types of surface NCO species; Cobonded (2235 and 2195 cm⁻¹), Si-bonded (2300 cm⁻¹) and Al-bonded (2272 cm⁻¹). These surface NCO species were stable in NO or oxygen atmosphere up to 400°C but in NO+oxygen they were easily converted to the final products of N₂ and CO₂. It is supposed that the SCR of NO over Co/ZSM-5 occurs through the Co- and Al-bonded NCO intermediates and its conversion is the rate-limiting step.     

Coordination "oligomers" in self-assembly reactions of some "tritopic" picolinic dihydrazone ligands-mononuclear, dinuclear, hexanuclear, heptanuclear, and nonanuclear examples

"Tritopic" picolinic dihydrazone ligands with tridentate coordination pockets are designed to produce homoleptic [3 x 3] nonanuclear square grid complexes on reaction with transition-metal salts, and many structurally documented examples have been obtained with Mn(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions. However, other oligomeric complexes with smaller nuclearities have also been discovered and identified structurally in some reactions involving Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II), with certain tritopic ligands. This illustrates the dynamic nature of the metal-ligand interaction and the conformationally flexible nature of the ligands and points to the possible involvement of some of these species as intermediates in the [3 x 3] grid formation process. Examples of mononuclear, dinuclear, hexanuclear, heptanuclear, and nonanuclear species involving Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) salts with a series of potentially heptadentate picolinic dihydrazone ligands with pyrazine, pyrimidine, and pyridine end groups are described in the present study. Iron and cobalt complexation reactions are complicated by redox processes, which lead to mixed-oxidation-state Co(II)/Co(III) systems when starting with Co(II) salts, and reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) when starting with Fe(III). Magnetic exchange within the polynuclear structural frameworks is discussed and related to the structural features.     

Roles of surface nitrogen oxides in propene activation and NO reduction on Ag/Al2O3

The activation of propene in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO on 4% Ag/Al₂O₃ has been studied by in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Distinctive propene activation products were detected in the SCR of NO, depending on the nature of surface oxygen and nitrogen oxide species on Ag/Al₂O₃. C₃H₆ was oxidized to acetate species in an O₂ + C₃H₆ atmosphere on Ag/Al₂O₃ above 573 K. The addition of NO to the C₃H₆ + O₂ feed gas suppressed the formation of acetate species but increased the proportion of acrylate species. Acrylate species were further confirmed to be formed preferentially from C₃H₆ oxidation without the O₂ atmosphere on Ag/Al₂O₃ or nitrate-adsorbed Ag/Al₂O₃. On the other hand, adsorption of NO led to the formation of nitrito species on Ag/Al₂O₃, but the nitrito was barely oxidized to nitrate species unless there was an O₂ atmosphere at 473–673 K. Thus, the oxidation of propene to acetate species, or the formation of nitrate from nitrito, is attributed to two competitive electrophilic reactions. The formation of nitrate from nitrito species decreased electrophilic oxygen species that oxidized propene to acetate. Nevertheless, the first dehydrogenation of propene to form acrylate species on nitrate-adsorbed Ag/Al₂O₃ is a nucleophilic reaction, as it is on Ag/Al₂O₃. Furthermore, there was no decrease in reaction activity for formation of acrylate species on nitrate-adsorbed Ag/Al₂O₃ compared to Ag/Al₂O₃. This led to the total reaction occurring easily through the propene nucleophilic oxidation branch because the presence of the adsorbed nitrogen oxides changed selectively the formation rates of the surface reductants. IR spectra data further demonstrate that acrylate and acetate species, as the surface reductants, reacted with nitrate to generate isocyanate intermediates in the SCR of NO. The effect of structures of different reductants on NO reduction is discussed.     

Cl–改性对Ag/Al2O3催化剂结构及其催化C3H6-SCR和H2/C3H6-SCR反应性能的影响

以烯烃为还原剂的NOx选择性催化还原(HC-SCR)是重要的环境催化反应之一.Ag/Al2O3催化剂(SA)因在HC-SCR反应中表现高活性、高N2选择性及中等H2O和SO2耐受性等优点,而被广泛研究.SA催化剂中存在不同的Ag物种,包括孤立Ag+离子,带部分正电荷Agnδ+团簇和金属态Agn0团簇.文献研究结果表明,SA催化剂中Agnδ+团簇是催化HC-SCR反应的活性Ag物种,而Ag物种类型与Ag的负载量密切相关.因此文献中研究SA催化HC-SCR反应的结构-性能关系主要是通过改变Ag负载量来开展的,最优Ag负载量约为1％～2％.本文以Cl–改性的γ-Al2O3作为载体,采用传统的浸渍法制备了Ag/Al2O3-Cl催化剂(SA-Cl),通过XRD、TEM、H2-TPR、UV-Vis DRS以及XPS对催化剂进行了结构表征,并结合C3H6-SCR和H2/C3H6-SCR活性测试,建立催化剂结构-催化性能关系;同时利用原位傅里叶变换红外光谱(DRIFTS)和在线同步辐射单光子电离质谱(SVUV-PIMS)研究了SA催化HC-SCR的反应机理.结构表征结果表明,在SA催化剂中,Ag负载量的提高主要是增加了Agn0物种,而在SA-Cl催化剂中,Ag负载量的提高主要是增加了Agnδ+物种,因此Cl?改性能促进SA催化剂中Agnδ+物种的形成.活性测试结果表明,在相同Ag负载量下,SA-Cl催化剂表现出比SA催化剂更好的HC-SCR催化性能.Cl?改性对SA催化剂中Ag物种的调控作用和HC-SCR催化性能的促进作用随Ag负载量的增加变得更为明显.原位DRIFTS结果表明,γ-Al2O3载体(Al位点)是NO氧化形成硝酸盐物种的主要活性位点;Agnδ+物种催化丙烯适度氧化主要生成乙酸盐类物种,可以还原表面硝酸盐物种;而Agn0催化丙烯过度氧化主要生成羧酸盐类物种,进而生成CO2,不能还原表面硝酸盐物种.由此可见,Agnδ+是催化HC-SCR反应的活性Ag物种,而Agn0是催化烃类完全氧化反应的活性Ag物种;Cl–改性能有效促进Agnδ+的形成,进而提高HC-SCR催化反应活性.在线SVUV-PIMS结果检测到H2/C3H6-SCR反应中存在气态中间物种丙烯腈(CH2=CHCN).–CN和–NCO物种被认为是HC-SCR反应的关键中间物种,能够直接与气相NO+O2反应生成N2.因此,CH2=CHCN的存在说明HC-SCR反应涉及到气相反应机理.基于SA和SA-Cl催化剂,进一步研究了H2对C3H6-SCR低温活性的促进作用.结果表明,H2的促进作用是通过作用于Agnδ+物种,而不是通过Agn0物种来实现的;H2的引入有利于低温下强吸附硝酸盐物种的脱附或分解以及中间体向–NCO和–CN物种的转化,从而提高HC-SCR低温催化活性.综上,基于Cl–改性的Ag/Al2O3-Cl催化剂,本文成功证实了Agnδ+物种是催化HC-SCR反应的活性Ag物种,并结合原位DRIFTS在线SVUV-PIMS谱分别鉴定了催化反应表面中间物种和气相中间物种.这些结果加深了对SA催化HC-SCR反应构-效关系和反应机理的基础理解.     

Adsorption/desorption studies of NOx on well-mixed oxides derived from Co-Mg/Al Hydrotalcite-like compounds

CoxMg3-x/Al hydrotalcite-like compounds (where x=0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) were synthesized by the coprecipitation method and characterized by the XRD and TGA techniques. Incorporation of Co for x=0.0-3.0 gradually decreased the transformation temperature of the hydrotalcites to the corresponding oxides from 444 to 246 degrees C and also decreased the surface area from 162.7 to 21.6 m2/g upon calcination at 800 degrees C for 4 h in air. The resultant oxide was generally composed of a poor MgO phase and a spinel phase, with more spinel phase at higher Co incorporation. The derived oxides were tested as the storage/reduction catalysts for NOx adsorption/desorption. The storage capacity for NOx was highly dependent on the catalyst composition and storage temperature. In general, more NOx was stored at lower temperature (100 degrees C) than that at higher temperature (300 degrees C), and tertiary catalysts (x=0.5-2.5) stored more NOx than binary catalyst (x=0.0 or 3.0). The catalytic conversion of NO to NO2 and the catalytic decomposition of NOx were observed on the tertiary catalysts during NOx adsorption at 300 degrees C, which was highly related to the loading of cobalt. The reducibility of catalysts was determined by TPR experiments, and the reduction of cobalt cations started at 150-200 degrees C in H2. In situ IR spectra of catalysts adsorbing NOx revealed that the major NOx species formed on the catalysts were various kinds of nitrites and nitrates, together with some forms of dimers, such as N2O2(2-) and N2O4 (or NO+NO3-). The storage/reduction mechanism and the function of Co in the mixed oxides are proposed and discussed on the basis of these observations.     

Gold-vanadium-niobium catalysts in environmental protection—adsorption and interaction of NO, C3H6 and O2—FT-IR study

FT-IR study of NO and C₃H₆ adsorption, co-adsorption and interaction in the presence of oxygen were performed in order to estimate the catalytic behaviour of Au and V-containing MCM-41 materials in NO-SCR with propene. MCM-41 were modified with gold, vanadium and niobium by their introduction during the synthesis (co-precipitation) carried out with the use of HCl or H₂SO₄ as pH adjustment agent. The texture/structure properties of the prepared samples were investigated by N₂ adsorption, XRD, XPS and TEM techniques. It has been found that the nature of acid used for the pH adjustment during the synthesis determines the gold particles size and dispersion and influences the interaction of NO+O₂+C₃H₆ with the catalyst surfaces. In both types of AuVMCM-41 catalysts, the SCR reaction route occurs via NO₂ formation. In the case of AuVMCM-41(HCl) and AuVNbMCM-41(HCl) nitrites are formed and stored, and upon heating NO₂ is released. These kinds of nitrites are not formed on AuVMCM-41(H₂SO₄) and AuVNbMCM-41(H₂SO₄). Instead of that NO₂ is chemisorbed on metallic gold, niobium and vanadium species and reacts with propene and/or oxygenates.     

Hydrocarbon specificity in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx over Cu-ZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 catalysts

Transformation of surface nitrates under CH₄ (CH₄+O₂) was found to ensure steady-state activity of Co-ZSM-5 in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by methane (CH₄-SCR). For Cu-ZSM-5, such species are mainly converted into NO. Relaxation of the coordination sphere due to oxygen and NO adsorption, stability of C,N-containing intermediates and activation routes of hydrocarbons (methane, propane) were analyzed as factors determining catalytic properties of Cu and Co cations.     

In situ FT-IR studies on the mechanism of selective catalytic reduction of NOx by propene over SnO2/Al2O3 catalyst

The mechanism of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by propene over SnO2/Al2O3 catalyst in the presence of oxygen has been investigated using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. In situ IR measurements indicate that acetate and formate, which are the derivatives of the partial oxidation of propene, play a crucial role in the formation of NCO by reacting with the reactive monodentate nitrate species. The resulting NCO species subsequently reacts with NOx to form N2. The presence of oxygen substantially contributes to the partial oxidation of propene and thus shows a promoting effect for the NOx reduction.     

Role of Adsorption of Reagents in Reduction of NO by Propene on ZrO2-Based Complex Oxide Systems

We have used IR spectroscopy to study adsorption of NO, propene, and their mixture on Rh-Cr₂O₃/ZrO₂ and Rh-CeO₂/ZrO₂ catalysts at temperatures of 293-623 K. We have established that adsorption and coadsorption of the reagents (NO and C₃H₆) have important differences, depending on the nature of the surface. Weak adsorption interactions of the reaction mixture on Rh-CeO₂/ZrO₂ lead to significantly lower activity of this catalyst in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by propene.     

NH3-SCR反应过程中NH3和NOx在Cu/SAPO-34分子筛催化剂上的吸附特性和作用

通过离子交换法制得Cu/SAPO-34菱沸石分子筛催化剂, 同时研究了NH₃和NO_x (NO和NO₂)在该催化剂上的吸附位、吸附强度、吸附量和吸附速率, 得到了不同反应气氛在Cu/SAPO-34 上的吸附性能及其在NH₃选择性催化还原(NH₃-SCR)反应中的作用. 研究采用瞬态实验、程序升温脱附(TPD)和漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(DRIFTS)等方法进行表征实验. 瞬态实验结果表明NH₃是吸附性气体. 程序升温脱附实验和红外漫反射实验结果表明NH₃可以吸附在布朗斯特和路易斯酸性位上形成不同的NH₃物种, 它们显示不同的SCR活性. NH₃在Cu²⁺上的吸附速率最快, 且键强最强. NO_x可以氧化并以硝酸盐/亚硝酸盐的形式吸附在Cu物种上. 最后, 本文讨论了NH₃选择性催化还原反应过程中在Cu物种上的中间物种并推测反应机理.
