Shielded Sliding Discharge-Assisted Hydrocarbon Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx over Ag/Al2O3 Catalysts Using Diesel as a Reductant

The nonthermal plasma generated in a shielded sliding discharge reactor was used to reform diesel for the hydrocarbon-selective catalytic reduction (HC-SCR) of NO_x on Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts. Compared with raw diesel, the reformed diesel enhanced the NO_x reduction efficiency, mitigated hydrocarbon poisoning of the catalyst and reduced the fuel penalty for the HC-SCR reaction. The NO_x conversion values obtained with a commercial Ag/Al₂O₃ catalyst exceeded that of a 2.0 wt% Ag/Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by wet impregnation. A significant amount of NH₃ was produced as a by-product during the HC-SCR reaction, which suggests that further NO_x conversion enhancement can be achieved by placing a second NH₃-SCR catalyst in series with the Ag/Al₂O₃ catalyst.     

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.     

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.     

氧气氛下固溶体Sn1-xZrxO2选择催化还原一氧化氮的增强效应

Reduction of NO by hydrocarbons in an oxidizing atmosphere is an attractive way to substitute the traditional NOx abatement technology from a viewpoint of practical application to the deNOx systems of diesel and lean-burn gasoline engine exhausts[1～3]. In this study, a series of novel catalysts Sn1 - xZrxO2 solid solutions were prepared by substituting some of the Sn4 + ions in a cassiterite lattice with Zr4+ ions.These solid solutions performed significantly higher activity than pure SnO2 presented on the selective reduction of NO with propene in the poresence of O2.     

Review of Ag/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-Reductant System in the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>

Ag/Al₂O₃ is a promising catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) by hydrocarbons (HC) of NO _x in both laboratory and diesel engine bench tests. New developments of the HC-SCR of NO _x over a Ag/Al₂O₃ catalyst are reviewed, including the efficiencies and sulfur tolerances of different Ag/Al₂O₃-reductant systems for the SCR of NO _x ; the low-temperature activity improvement of H₂-assisted HC-SCR of NO _x over Ag/Al₂O₃; and the application of a Ag/Al₂O₃-ethanol SCR system with a heavy-duty diesel engine. The discussions are focused on the reaction mechanisms of different Ag/Al₂O₃-reductant systems and H₂-assisted HC-SCR of NO _x over Ag/Al₂O₃. A SO₂-resistant surface structure in situ synthesized on Ag/Al₂O₃ by using ethanol as a reductant is proposed based on the study of the sulfate formation. These results provide new insight into the design of a high-efficiency NO _x reduction system. The diesel engine bench test results showed that a Ag/Al₂O₃-ethanol system is promising for catalytic cleaning of NO _x in diesel exhaust.     

Ag Clusters as Active Species for HC-SCR Over Ag-Zeolites

The addition of hydrogen in the reaction atmosphere is effective in promoting the activity of Ag/alumina and Ag-zeolites on the selective reduction of NO by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR) at low temperatures. The increment of NO conversion over Ag-MFI corresponds to the periodic addition of hydrogen into C₃H₈-SCR conditions. The UV–VIS spectra of Ag-MFI have revealed that the addition of hydrogen results in the formation of Ag_n^δ+ clusters due to partial reduction and agglomeration of Ag species. The coincidence of the formation of the Ag_n^δ+ clusters and the increment of NO conversion suggests that Ag_n^δ+ clusters are the highly active species for HC-SCR. From analysis by H₂-TPR, UV–VIS, and EXAFS, the structure of Ag_n^δ+ clusters on Ag-MFI is identified as being Ag₄²⁺ on average. The formation of Ag clusters was strongly affected by the type of zeolites: The major Ag species are Ag⁺ ions for MOR, Ag_n^δ+ clusters for MFI and BEA, and relatively large metallic Ag_mparticles for Y. The sequence of Ag agglomeration (MOR < MFI < BEA < Y) is in accordance with the strength of the acid sites of zeolites. It can be expected that the interaction between the positive charge of Ag_n^δ+ clusters and acid sites, i.e., the ion-exchange site of zeolites, stabilizes Ag_n^δ+ clusters. The type of Ag species under HC-SCR conditions depends on the concentration of gas-phase oxidants (NO, O₂) and reductants (H₂, HC), and also on the number and strength of the zeolite acid sites.     

Dependence of copper species on the nature of the support for dispersed CuO catalysts

Copper catalysts prepared by chemisorption-hydrolysis technique over silica (Cu/Si) and silica-alumina (Cu/SiAl) supports were studied to understand the role of the support on the nature and surface properties of the copper species stabilized on their surfaces. The morphological and surface properties of the copper phases have been characterized by complementary techniques, such as HRTEM, EXAFS-XANES, EPR, XPS, and FTIR. For the FTIR investigation, molecular probes (CO and NO) were also adsorbed on the surfaces to test the reactivity of the copper species. Moreover, the catalytic performances of the two catalysts have been compared in the HC-SCR reaction (NO reduction by C(2)H(4)) performed in highly oxidant conditions. The superior activity and selectivity of the supported silica-alumina catalyst with respect to that supported on silica could be related with the different nature of the copper species stabilized on the two supports, as emerged from the results obtained from the spectroscopic investigations. Small and well-dispersed CuO particles were present on silica, whereas isolated copper ions predominated on silica-alumina, likely in regions rich in alumina that made some exchangeable sites available, as indicated by FTIR spectra of adsorbed CO. The less positive global charge of copper species on Cu/SiAl than in Cu/Si has been confirmed by EPR, XPS, and EXAFS-XANES analyses.     

贫燃条件 In-Ag/TiO2-γ-Al2O3催化 CO选择性还原NO

汽车尾气中主要污染成分 CO和 NOx可导致酸雨、光化学烟雾和臭氧空洞效应,对生物、环境及生态系统造成重大危害。污染源中 CO是性能优良的还原剂,如能不添加还原剂实现 CO催化还原 NOx,将成为最具经济技术优势的 NOx脱除技术。在富氧、低温条件下,利用 CO选择性催化还原 NOx为 N2,是目前选择性催化还原研究中的热点和难点。催化 CO还原 NOx常用的贵金属 Ir, Rh, Pt和Pd矿藏稀少,价格昂贵,有氧条件下活性急降,而分子筛催化剂和一些金属氧化物催化剂普遍存在反应温度高,尤其对 N2选择性差等问题。为解决上述问题,需寻找新的适合我国矿产资源的催化体系。研究发现,稀散金属基催化剂对氮氧化物的净化具有一定效果,因而可将我国的稀散金属资源优势转化为技术优势和经济优势。因此,本文以 TiO2-γ-Al2O3(TA)为载体, In/Ag为活性组分,采用等体积浸渍法制备了 InAg/TA以及 In/TA, Ag/TA和InAg/Al (γ-Al2O3为载体)催化剂,考察了贫燃条件下 CO选择性还原NO的催化活性。研究表明,双金属催化剂InAg/Al和 InAg/TA的活性比单金属催化剂In/TA和 Ag/TA高, In/TA催化剂中引入 Ag物种能降低起燃温度;另外,相比于InAg/Al催化剂, InAg/TA催化剂具有较高的催化活性,550?600°C时 N2产率超过60%,说明载体中引入TiO2可以提高催化剂活性。为了深入研究 InAg/TA催化剂中 Ag物种和TiO2对 In物种的作用,通过比表面测定、X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱、紫外-可见光吸收光谱、氢气程序升温还原、傅立叶变换红外线光谱等方法分析了催化剂结构和表面形态。结果表明, Ag物种可以提高 In物种的分散性, In和 Ag物种在 TA载体表面可以很好地分散,从而有利于提高催化活性。 In和 Ag物种在 TA载体表面以氧化态形式存在,并且 Ag物种可以提高 In物种表面含量,表面 In和 Ag物种含量越高,吸附活性位越多,催化活性越高;同时, TiO2也可以促进 NO吸附,从而提高 InAg/TA催化剂活性。 InAg/TA催化剂在450°C连续反应72 h进行稳定性测试,测试前后分别在50?600°C进行活性测试,并用 XRD和 TEM对反应后的催化剂进行表征测试。结果表明, InAg/TA催化剂具有较好的稳定性,连续反应前后催化剂活性基本保持不变,推测可能由于在有 CO和O2存在的体系中, Ag物种利用自身 Ag+与 Ag0之间的氧化还原反应抑制了活性组分 In2O3的还原和聚集,稳定了 In物种乃至催化剂活性。 InAg/TA催化剂用于贫燃条件下CO还原NO具有较好的催化效果,主要归因于催化剂活性组分分散性好,稳定性高,对NO吸附能力强。 Ag物种可以稳定In物种并提高其分散性, TiO2可以改善In物种和Ag物种的分散性并促进NO吸附。     

A highly efficient silver niobium alumina catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by n-decane

AgNb/Al(2)O(3) prepared by a nonhydrolytic sol-gel process is a highly efficient catalyst for NO(x) removal through selective catalytic reduction by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR). This result shows that the HC-SCR process remains a challenging method for lean engine DeNO(x).     

Structural, energetic, and vibrational properties of NO(x) adsorption on Ag(n), n = 1-8

The density functional theory is used to explore structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of NO, NO(2), and NO(3) adsorption on small silver clusters, Ag(n), with n =1-8. Generally, NO adsorbs in a top configuration, whereas NO(2) and NO(3) are adsorbed in bridge configuration. NO2 and NO3 introduce pronounced structural relaxations in the clusters. In particular, the transition size from planar to three-dimensional structures is modified. For each cluster size, the adsorption energies follow the trend E(a) (NO) < E(a) (NO(2)) < E(a) (NO(3)). The adsorption energies show a marked odd/even alternation with a stronger bonding to odd clusters. Analysis of the electronic structure reveals an ionic bond mechanism for NO(2) and NO(3). Odd/even effects are also present in vibrational properties of the adsorbed radicals. With respect to the gas phase, the largest shifts are calculated for adsorption on odd clusters. Possible implications of the results for Ag/Al(2)O(3) HC-SCR catalysts are discussed.     

Effect of Electrohydraulic Shock on Activity of Aluminum/Nickel/Copper Catalysts in the Reaction of Reduction of NO by Carbon(II) Oxide

We have studied the reaction of NO and CO on aluminum/nickel/copper catalysts obtained under short high-voltage discharge conditions. We have established that electrohydraulic shock affects formation of heterogeneous catalytic systems and increases the activity of catalysts during simultaneous removal of nitrogen and carbon oxides from gaseous exhausts.     

Cooperation of catalytic species for the selective reduction of nitrogen monoxide with hydrocarbons

Studies on the cooperation effect of catalytic species for the selective reduction of NO with hydrocarbons under oxidizing con-ditions have been reviewed. Based on the catalyst form, the effect can be classified into multiple-stage catalysts, mechanical or physi-cal mixture catalysts, and uniform catalysts with two or more catalytic components. Broadening of the temperature window for NO reduction by using two or more catalysts with different windows in series is an example for the first case. For the other two cases, bifunctionality of catalytic species is expected since the reaction is considered to proceed via a series of sequential and parallel steps. Actually, the promotion of NO reduction activity has been reported by the addition of catalysts or catalytic species having NO oxi-dation activity, where the NO oxidation step was slow. Another example is the combination of acidity and metal species to create NO reduction activity.     

Metal Oxide Catalysts for Selective Reduction of NOx by Hydrocarbons: Toward Molecular Basis for Catalyst Design

Metal oxides are stable and highly durable catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by hydrocarbons and potential candidates for practical use. This review focuses on the development as well as the fundamental understanding of metal oxide based catalysts for selective reduction of NO by hydrocarbons. Our studies on the SCR-deNOx properties of Ga₂O₃/Al₂O₃, Cu-Al₂O₃, and Ag-Al₂O₃ catalysts are presented and it is attempted to demonstrate the advantages of this type of catalysts. On the basis of several spectroscopic characterizations, the effect of important factors, such as dispersion, coordination, and the electronic states of the metal cation, on the intrinsic catalytic activity are quite well clarified. From the in situ FTIR results, the reaction mechanism is understood in terms of formation and reaction of surface molecules. The structural and kinetic information obtained at the molecular level provides a useful strategy for designing better deNOx catalysts using metal oxides.

Direct conversion of natural gas to higher hydrocarbons: A review

Direct conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons is an effective process to solve the problem of natural gas utilization. Although remarkable progress has been achieved on the dehydro-aromatization of methane (DAM), low conversion caused by severe thermodynamic limitations, coke formation, and catalysis deactivation remain important drawbacks to the direct conversion process. Molybdenum catalysts supported on HZSM-5 type zeolite support are among the most promising catalysts. This review focuses on the aspects of direct methane conversion, in terms of catalysts containing metal and support, reaction conditions, and conversion in different types of reactors. The reaction mechanism for this catalytic process is also discussed.     

Design of highly active heterogeneous palladium catalysts for the activation of aryl chlorides in Heck reactions

In situ generation of highly active palladium species by intermediate dissolution of Pd from solid supported catalysts has been demonstrated to be a very successful approach for the activation of aryl chlorides in Heck reactions. The new ‘heterogeneous’ Pd catalysts act as reservoir for molecular Pd species with unsaturated coordination sphere in solution. Crucial Pd leaching and re-deposition onto the support can be controlled by optimization of reaction conditions and by the properties of the catalysts. Pd is re-deposited onto the support at the end of the reaction. The catalysts, palladium supported on activated carbon, on various metal oxides or fluorides and Pd complexes in zeolites, are easy to prepare, though the preparation conditions are crucial. The catalysts convert all aryl bromides completely within minutes (TON 100,000). Aryl chlorides (even deactivated ones) are converted with high yields, within 2-6 h. The catalysts belong to the most active ones in Heck reactions at all (including best homogeneous systems) and fulfill all relevant requirements for practical applications in laboratory and industry.
