The mechanism of selective NO<Subscript>x</Subscript> reduction by hydrocarbons in excess oxygen on oxide catalysts: VI. Spectroscopic and kinetic characteristics of surface complexes on a Ni-Cr oxide catalyst

The reaction mechanism of the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x by propane in the presence of O₂ on a commercial Ni-Cr oxide catalyst was studied using in situ IR spectroscopy. It was found that nitrite, nitrate, and acetate surface complexes occurred under reaction conditions. Considerable amounts of hydrogen were formed in the interaction of NO + C₃H₈ + O₂ or C₃H₈ + O₂ reaction mixtures with the catalyst surface. The rates of conversion of the surface complexes detected under reaction conditions were measured. The resulting values were compared to the rate of the process. It was found that, at temperatures lower than 200°C, nitrate complexes reacted with the hydrocarbon to form acetate complexes; in this case, the formation of reaction products was not observed. In the temperature region above 250°C, two reaction paths took place. One of them consisted in the interaction of acetate and nitrate complexes with the formation of reaction products. The decomposition of NO on the reduced surface occurred in the second reaction path. Nitrogen atoms underwent recombination, and oxygen atoms reoxidized the catalyst surface and reacted with the activated hydrocarbon to form CO₂ and H₂O in a gas phase.     

MO?ZrO2 catalysts for nitrogen oxides reduction by hydrocarbons in oxygen excess. Preparation and properties

The physico-chemical and catalytic properties of MO–ZrO₂ systems (where M is Ca, Sr, Ba) have been studied as a function of the synthesis parameters. Finely powdered heterogeneous mixtures of solid solutions with cubic+monoclinic or tetragonal+monoclinic phase composition were found to be formed. These systems possess quite good high-temperature activity in the reaction of NOx selective reduction by propane under oxygen excess. For a given system, the rate constant depends linearly upon the M–O bond dissociation energy in the surface layer, the slope being positive for Ca and Sr and negative for Ba.     

The mechanism of selective NO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> reduction by hydrocarbons in excess oxygen on oxide catalysts: VII. The nature of synergism on a mechanical mixture of catalysts

Based on a mechanistic study of the selective reduction of NO _x by propane on NTK-10-1 and Ni-Cr oxide (NCO) catalysts, the reason for synergism in this process on a mechanical mixture of the catalysts was determined. On the NCO catalyst at temperatures higher than 250°C without NO _x activation, C₃H₈ was oxidized with the formation of a considerable amount of hydrogen. This hydrogen migrated to the surface of NTK-10-1 through a gas phase and reduced this surface. On the reduced surface, H₂ reacted with NO _x by a mechanism characteristic of supported platinum group metals. In accordance with this mechanism, nitrogen atoms, which were formed by the dissociation of NO on metal atoms reduced by hydrogen, recombined to form nitrogen molecules in a gas phase, whereas oxygen atoms reacted with the hydrocarbon to form CO₂ and H₂O molecules in a gas phase. The positive effect of H₂, which was formed on the NCO surface, on the reduction of NO _x on NTK-10-1 is the main reason for synergism. An analysis of the experimental data demonstrated that an effectively working mechanical mixture of catalysts can be obtained if one of the mixture components is responsible for the effective activation of nitrogen oxides and the other is responsible for the activation of hydrocarbons.     

Role of surface structures on the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides with hydrocarbons on oxide catalysts

The infrared spectrum in situ was used to study the mechanism of selective reduction of nitrogen oxides on a series of oxide catalysts. It is shown that under the reaction conditions, nitrites, nitrates, and nitroorganic and acetate complexes are formed. Qualitative comparison of the rate of decomposition of the complexes and the rate of formation of the process products was performed using the spectral kinetic technique. Based on this comparison, the role of surface complexes in the process was determined. A mechanism showing the main stages of the reduction of nitrogen oxides is proposed.     

Highly selective reduction of no in excess oxygen through the intermediate addition of reductant between oxidation and reduction catalysts

Intermediate addition of reductant (named an IAR method) into a NO+O₂ stream between an oxidation catalyst of NO to NO₂ and a reduction catalyst of NOx to N₂ has been evidenced to be a very effective method to selectively reduce NO to N₂ in the presence of excess oxygen. Here Pt-MFI has been employed as an oxidation catalyst, Na-, Mg-, Ca-, Ba-, Zn-and In-MFI have been examined as the reduction catalysts and the reductant was ethene. The combination of Pt-and Zn-MFI was the most effective. The efficiency of ethene, namely the molar ratio of the amount of NO reduced to that of ethene consumed, reached 1.9 and was much higher than 1.4 of conventional reduction on Cu-MFI.     

富氧条件下Fe-Mn/Beta选择性催化丙烯还原氮氧化物

以Beta分子筛为载体，采用等体积浸渍法制备Fe-Mn/Beta催化剂，并对其在富氧条件下丙烯选择性催化还原NO性能进行了研究。通过N₂吸附-脱附、X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、透射电子显微镜（TEM）、程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）和原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱（in-situ DRIFTS）等研究手段对催化剂进行表征，考察Mn组分对催化剂的物理化学性质、C₃H₆-SCR反应活性和反应中间产物的影响。结果表明，引入Mn物种可以显著提高Fe-Mn/Beta催化剂的低温催化活性，1.5Fe1.0Mn/Beta催化剂NO还原效率350℃最高可达99.4%，在250-400℃反应温度下显示出很高的反应活性和N₂选择性。原位红外光谱研究表明，分子筛离子交换位上孤立的铁离子是丙烯选择性氧化的主要活性位，分散良好的MnO₂物种不能提高催化剂对丙烯的活化能力，但有助于促进形成NO₂吸附物种，从而提升了Fe-Mn/Beta催化剂的低温C₃H₆-SCR性能。经高温水热老化处理后，Fe-Mn/Beta催化剂脱硝活性明显下降，这与孤立的Fe³⁺离子迁移形成Fe_xO_y团聚物种有关。     

Overview on the selective lean NO x reduction by hydrocarbons over Pt-based catalysts

Selective catalytic reduction of NO _x with hydrocarbons (HC-SCR) has received much attention as one of potential technologies for reducing NO _x emissions under lean-burn conditions. Pt/ZSM-5 prepared by sublimation method and Pt/V/MCM-41 catalysts have been introduced for the wider activity temperature window than those Pt catalysts reported previously. The influence of pre-treatment, oxygen concentration, water and SO₂ on the activities of Pt-based catalysts has been discussed. Combinatorial catalysis, which has been developed recently for discovering the practical HC-SCR catalysts quickly, has been introduced too. Finally, the reaction mechanism of HC-SCR over Pt-based catalysts has been briefly discussed.     

银/氧化铝催化乙醇选择性还原氮氧化物过程中典型中间体的吸附态研究

机动车污染物排放是我国大气复合污染形成的重要原因之一.尽管柴油车在我国机动车保有量中所占比例不到20%,但其排放的颗粒污染物(PM)和氮氧化物(NOx)分担率均超过60%.因此,控制柴油车尾气排放成为我国亟待解决的大气污染问题.目前,氨选择性催化还原NOx技术(NH3-SCR)已规模化应用于柴油车污染排放控制,出于安全性考虑,以尿素水溶液作为氨的来源.但NH3-SCR技术应用于柴油车尾气净化存在如下缺点：需要布建庞大的尿素添加基础设施、后处理系统复杂等.与此相反,以车载燃油为还原剂来源的HC-SCR技术可有效规避上述难题,展现了较好的应用前景.但是,直接以柴油为还原剂时, HC-SCR对NOx净化的效率还难以满足日益严格的排放法规的要求,因此需要深入研究HC选择性还原NOx的微观机制与构效关系,并以此为指导,发展以车载燃料为还原剂来源的高效净化NOx的新原理和新方法.已有的研究表明,银/氧化铝(Ag/Al2O3)具有优异的催化乙醇选择性还原NOx的能力,是最有希望应用于柴油车尾气NOx净化的催化剂-还原剂组合体系.鉴于此,本论文以Ag/Al2O3催化剂上乙醇-SCR反应为研究对象,以密度泛函理论计算方法(DFT)搭建了Ag/Al2O3催化剂的理论模型,考察了反应物乙醇(CH3CH2OH)、关键中间体(烯醇式物种CH2=CHO?和?NCO)在Ag/Al2O3催化剂上的吸附特征,采用电子态密度分析(DOS)研究了以上物种被活化的电子机制,以期甄别Ag/Al2O3催化乙醇选择性还原NOx的活性位结构,为高性能的HC-SCR催化剂设计提供指导.
　　依据化学态的不同, Ag/Al2O3催化剂上活性组分银可分为：高度分散的离子态(Ag+、在催化剂表面以Ag?O形式存在)、部分氧化团簇(Agnδ+)和金属颗粒银(Agn0),其中氧化态的银是催化乙醇选择性还原NOx的活性组分. Al2O3载体的主要暴露晶面为(110)和(100),在上述晶面上Al的配位状态存在明显差异,显著影响了银物种的锚定与分散,形成了具有不同键合特征的Ag?O?Al结构.基于对Al2O3暴露晶面上Al配位状态的分析,搭建了6种Ag?O?Al结构模型.结合Al MAS NMR对Ag/Al2O3实际催化剂的表征结果和理论模型吸附能的分析,获得了最为可能的两种Ag?O?Al结构： Ag?O?Altetra(AlO4)和Ag?O?Alocta(AlO6);前者为AgO与Al2O3(110)面Altrip位键合形成的特征结构(Al最终为四配位),后者系AgO锚定于Al2O3(100)面Alpenta位的能量最优结构(Al最终为六配位).
　　在Ag?O?Altetra上, Altetra位具有较强的酸性, Ag、Al原子轨道的杂化融合有利于电子转移;以上特性促进CH3CH2OH、CH2=CHO?、?NCO的吸附活化.在HC-SCR反应中,关键中间体?NCO通过与NOx直接反应可形成最终产物N2和CO2.可见,?NCO中N=C键的拉伸活化、断裂对上述反应的发生至关重要.由电子态密度分析可知, N=Cσ键能向Ag?O?Altetra中Altetra位转移电子,而Ag与Al的轨道融合能反馈电子到N=C π键;在这两种电子转移机制作用下,?NCO中的N=C键被最大程度弱化,有利其断裂,转化为最终产物N2和CO2.而Ag?O?Alocta上,并没有N=C键的活化拉伸,反而呈现出N=C键收缩趋势,不利于N=C键的断裂与最终产物的形成.由此推定, Ag?O?Altetra是Ag/Al2O3催化剂上HC-SCR反应的活性中心.     

Selective NO reduction by propane over commercial oxide catalysts and their mechanical mixture: II. Intermediate complexes and reaction mechanism

Redox couples in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with hydrocarbons over Co-ZSM-5 and Ni-ZSM-5 catalysts: an FT-IR study

On the basis of IR spectroscopy studies it is concluded that the redox couples Co(2+)/Co(+) and Ni(2+)/Ni(+) operate in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with hydrocarbons over Co-ZSM-5 and Ni-ZSM-5.     

Adsorption properties of Ni-Pd catalysts supported on aluminum oxide

The surface composition of Ni-Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied using XPES and adsorption methods. The bimetallic catalysts differ from the single-metal Ni and Pd catalysts in the dispersivity of the metal phase which depends on the method of preparation and the presence of K⁺ promoter. A catalyst produced by the immersion method is strongly enriched in Pd compared with impregnated catalysts.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1746–1751, August, 1991.     

Mechanism of reduction of nitrogen oxides with propene in excess oxygen catalyzed by bifunctional catalysts

HC-SCR (selective reduction of nitrogen oxide by hydrocarbon) and our view on its reaction mechanism are briefly described, and then our attempts in the last few years to design catalysts based on the concept of bifunctional catalysis for HC-SCR are reviewed. The example chosen is the NO-C₃H₆-O₂-H₂O reaction catalyzed by mechanical mixtures of transition metal oxides (e.g., Mn₂O₃) and metal-loaded ZSM-5 zeolites. The synergistic effect of two components was explained based on a reaction mechanism comprising NO oxidation, oxidative decomposition of the products of NO₂-C₃H₆ reactions and polymerization of (or carbon deposition from) C₃H₆.     

Heterogeneous selective oxidation of formaldehyde on oxide catalysts:In situ FTIR study of formaldehyde surface species on a V-Ti-O catalyst and oxygen effect

The interaction of formaldehyde with a highly selective V-Ti-O catalyst for the oxidation of formaldehyde to formic acid is studied by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy at 70–200‡C. In a flow of formaldehyde/oxygen mixture and in a mixture without oxygen at optimal temperatures for formic acid formation (100–140‡C), methoxy groups and other oxygenates are formed in small amounts. These are two bidentate formates and covalently bound monodentate formate. The fact that similar oxygenates are observed independently of the presence of oxygen in the reaction mixture suggests the participation of the catalyst oxygen in their formation. Oxygen accelerates the desorption of bidentate formates. Bidentate formates of one type decompose in a flow of air at 100–150‡C, and bidentate formates of the other type decompose at 170–200‡C.     

CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂在氨选择性催化还原氮氧化物反应中的性能(英文)

氮氧化物(NO_x)是主要的大气污染物之一.氨气选择性催化还原法(NH_3-SCR)是目前去除固定源排放的氮氧化物的最有效方法,被广泛用于燃煤或者生物质的火电厂中.催化剂是NH_3-SCR法的核心,其中V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂是主要的商业SCR催化剂;但是V_2O_5有毒,对环境的影响很大;另外,该催化剂具有较高的SO_2氧化性能.因而研究者一直在探索新型的SCR催化剂.SO_2是燃煤电厂烟气中的典型气体之一,所以抗硫性能是催化剂的一个重要指标.在SCR反应条件下,SO_2和O_2容易与氧化物催化剂发生反应生成稳定性较高的硫酸盐,覆盖在催化剂表面从而引起催化剂失活.但已有研究发现,硫化会提高K中毒后的V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂的活性.并且,短时间的硫化可以明显提高CuO/Al_2O_3的NH_3-SCR活性.硫酸盐催化剂或许具有较低毒性和较高抗硫性能,应该是一种有前景的SCR催化剂.本文以商业纳米TiO_2为载体,采用湿式浸渍法制备了一系列的CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂.在自制的活性评价装置上测试了样品的NH_3-SCR活性并且在340℃下连续24 h测试了SO_2、水蒸气及两者共同作用对催化剂活性的影响.使用N_2等温吸附-脱附、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、H_2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)和NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)对催化剂进行了表征.另外,采用原位红外漫反射光谱研究了CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂上的NH_3-SCR反应过程.N_2等温吸附-脱附结果表明,负载的CuSO_4没有明显改变载体的孔结构.而XRD结果仅显示锐钛矿TiO_2的衍射峰,说明CuSO_4在载体上有较好的分散度或者CuSO_4的含量低于检测限.XPS结果显示,催化剂中的铜主要以Cu~(2+)形式存在,硫主要以SO_4~(2-)形式存在,而氧主要以晶格氧和吸附氧两种形式存在,并且CuSO_4的存在会增加催化剂中吸附氧的含量.H_2-TPR结果表明,随着CuSO_4含量的增加,催化剂的氧化还原能力逐渐增强.NH_3-TPD结果表明,催化剂表面的酸性位数目随着样品中CuSO_4含量的增加而增加.纯TiO_2的NH_3-SCR活性很差,当温度从300℃增加到450℃时,最高NO_x转化率仅为32.7%.但当CuSO_4负载到TiO_2上以后,催化剂活性明显提高.在反应温度高于340℃时,CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NO_x转化率在94%以上,与商业V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂相当,并且其N_2O生成量低于商业催化剂.不过,当温度低于340℃时,CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NO_x转化率明显低于商业催化剂,说明CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的活性仍有待改善.连续24 h测试了SO_2、水蒸汽及两者的共同作用对CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂活性的影响.结果显示,单独的水蒸气会导致活性轻微下降,但SO_2以及两者共同存在时对催化剂的活性基本没有影响.CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NH_3吸附红外光谱表明,催化剂上存在Lewis和Bronsted两种酸性位,但Bronsted酸性位上的NH_4~+稳定性较差,280℃时即基本消失.在高温时,NH_3主要吸附在Lewis酸性位上且CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂对NO_x的吸附能力较差,红外光谱未检测到NO_x的吸附峰.380℃下,当NO和O_2通入预吸附NH_3的催化剂样品时,属于Lewis酸性位上NH_3的红外峰明显下降,说明Lewis酸性位上吸附的NH_3参与了反应.CuSO_4/TiO_2显示出高的抗硫抗水性能和比较好的NH_3-SCR活性,应该是一种有应用前景的SCR催化剂.CuSO_4可以增加催化剂的酸性位数目和吸附氧量.根据原位红外漫反射结果,CuSO_4/TiO_2上的SCR反应遵循Eley-Rideal机理.气相的NO与吸附在Lewis酸性位上的NH_3反应生成N_2和H_2O或许是主要的反应途径,并且吸附氧可能会促进这个过程.     

Low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 over zeolite catalysts: A review

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO_x by NH₃ is one of the most mature technologies for NO_x treatment. Catalysts are the main factors affecting denitrification efficiency. Zeolites as low-temperature NH₃-SCR catalysts have been extensively studied in the past few years. In this work, the mechanism of zeolites for NH₃-SCR reaction was reviewed and the denitrification performances of zeolite catalysts prepared by different methods were compared. The effects of sulfur and water poisoning on zeolite catalysts in NH₃-SCR reaction were also analyzed. Several ways to address the problems in low-temperature NH₃-SCR reaction were discussed. Hopefully, this review could provide a fundamental understanding of SCR reaction on zeolite catalysts and pave the way toward similar studies to realize its commercial applications.     

基于钛锡载体的SCR低温脱硝催化剂的表面性质研究

采用共沉淀法制备TiO₂-SnO₂固溶体,浸渍法负载CeO₂得到一系列xCeO₂/TiO₂-SnO₂负载型催化剂,在模拟NH₃选择性催化还原NO_x(NH₃-SCR)反应条件下考察催化剂低温脱硝活性。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积测定(BET)、程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)、原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(in situ DRIFTS)等表征技术,研究了氧化铈负载后催化剂的微观结构、表面物种的存在状态、表面酸位等表面性质及NH₃吸附特性。结果表明,Ce:Ti物质的量比为0.1时,催化剂催化脱硝反应活性最高,同时具有较宽的温度窗口(250~300℃)和热稳定性;铈的过量负载会导致催化剂比表面积减小、活性窗口变窄,同时其氧化还原能力和NH₃吸附能力也减弱。NH₃-TPD结果显示,CeO₂的负载导致催化剂NH₃在弱酸及中等酸位的吸附显著增强,与催化剂NH₃-SCR最佳反应物温度降低有关。in situ DRIFTS表明,xCeO₂/TiO₂-SnO₂催化剂的Lewis酸位和Brønsted酸位强度均明显增强,同时,在1657~1666cm^-1处出现新的Brønsted酸位,参与SCR反应的主要物质是NH₄⁺分子。     

Selective NO reduction by propane over commercial oxide catalysts and their mechanical mixture: I. Synergistic effect

In the reaction of NO reduction by propane in excess oxygen, the activity of a binary mixture of commercial oxide catalysts is higher than should be expected if it were proportional to the activities of separate catalyst components. This synergism reveals itself in the fact that the conversion of NO and C₃H₈ is higher when the catalyst is a mechanical mixture than the sum of conversions over separate catalysts, all other conditions being the same. Based on the kinetic and thermal desorption measurements, the experimental conditions are found under which the synergism is observed. A hypothetical mechanism is proposed.
