The arrangement rule of Zn and Y atoms in the LPSO structure is determined theoretically. The calculation results reveal that the additive atoms are firstly located in the fault layers at the two ends of the 18R-type LPSO structure, and then extend to fault layers in the interior, which is in good agreement with the experimental observations. This feature also implies the microstructural relationship between 18R and other LPSO structures. The cohesive energy and the formation heat indicate the dependence of the stability of 18R LPSO structure on contents of Y and Zn atoms. The calculated electronic structures reveal the underlying mechanism of microstructure and the stability of 18R LPSO structure.展开更多

Acco...The structure and catalytic desulfurization characteristics of CeO2-TiO2 mixed oxides were investigated by means ofX-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and catalytic activity tests. According to the results, a CeO2-TiO2solid solution is formed when the mole ratio of cerium to titanium n(Ce):n(Ti) is 5:5 or greater, and the most suitable n(Ce):n(Ti) isdetermined as 7:3, over which the conversion rate of SO2 and the yield of sulfur at 500℃ reach 93% and 99%, respectively.According to the activity testing curve, Ce0.7Ti0.3O2 (n(Ce):n(Ti)=7:3) without any pretreatment can be gradually activated by reagentgas after about 10 min, and reaches a steady activation status 60 min later. The XPS results of Ce0.7Ti0.3O2 after different time ofSO2+CO reaction show that CeO2 is the active component that offers the redox couple Ce4+/Ce3+ and the labile oxygen vacancies, andTiO2 only functions as a catalyst structure stabilizer during the catalytic reaction process. After 48 h of catalytic reaction at 500℃,Ce0.7Ti0.3O2 still maintains a stable structure without being vulcanized, demonstrating its good anti-sulfur poisoning performance.展开更多

The results show that the adsorption energy of O2 on pyrrhotite surface is the largest, followed by that on marcasite surface and then pyrite surface. O2 molecules adsorbed on pyrite, marcasite and pyrrhotite surfaces are all dissociated. The oxygen atoms and surface atoms of pyrite, marcasite and pyrrhotite surfaces have different bonding structures. Due to more atoms on pyrrhotite and marcasite surfaces interaction with oxygen atoms, the adsorption energies of O2 on pyrrhotite and marcasite surfaces are larger than that on pyrite surface. Larger values of Mulliken populations for O?Fe bond of pyrrhotite surface result in relative larger adsorption energy compared with that on marcasite surface.展开更多

The effects of Fe and Mn on NO conversion and the deactivation of the catalysts were studied. N2 adsorption‐desorption, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, H2 temperature‐programmed reduction, NH3 temperature‐programmed desorption, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to character‐ize the catalysts. The 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 catalyst gave 99%of NO conversion at 150?? and more than 92.6%NO conversion was obtained in a wide low temperature range of 90–210??. XPS analysis demonstrated that the Fe3+was the main iron valence state on the catalyst surface and the addition of Mn increased the accumulation of Fe on the surface. The higher specific surface area, enhanced dispersion of amorphous Fe and Mn, improved reduction properties and surface acidity, lower binding energy, higher Mn4+/Mn3+ratio and more adsorbed oxygen species resulted in higher NO conversion for the 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 catalyst. In addition, the SCR activity of the 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 cata‐lyst was only slightly decreased in the presence of H2O and SO2, which indicated that the catalyst had better tolerance to H2O and SO2. The reaction temperature was crucial for the SO2 resistance of catalyst and the decrease of catalytic activity caused by SO2 was mainly due to the sulfate salts formed on the catalyst.展开更多

文摘A series of Fe‐Mn/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared and studied for low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 in a fixed‐bed reactor. The effects of Fe and Mn on NO conversion and the deactivation of the catalysts were studied. N2 adsorption‐desorption, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, H2 temperature‐programmed reduction, NH3 temperature‐programmed desorption, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to character‐ize the catalysts. The 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 catalyst gave 99%of NO conversion at 150?? and more than 92.6%NO conversion was obtained in a wide low temperature range of 90–210??. XPS analysis demonstrated that the Fe3+was the main iron valence state on the catalyst surface and the addition of Mn increased the accumulation of Fe on the surface. The higher specific surface area, enhanced dispersion of amorphous Fe and Mn, improved reduction properties and surface acidity, lower binding energy, higher Mn4+/Mn3+ratio and more adsorbed oxygen species resulted in higher NO conversion for the 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 catalyst. In addition, the SCR activity of the 8Fe‐8Mn/Al2O3 cata‐lyst was only slightly decreased in the presence of H2O and SO2, which indicated that the catalyst had better tolerance to H2O and SO2. The reaction temperature was crucial for the SO2 resistance of catalyst and the decrease of catalytic activity caused by SO2 was mainly due to the sulfate salts formed on the catalyst.
