Promotional effects of Zr on K^+-poisoning resistance of CeTiO_x catalyst for selective catalytic reductionof NO_x with NH_3

CeTiOx and CeZrTiOx catalysts were prepared by a coprecipitation method and used for selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3 （NH3‐SCR）. Various amounts of KNO3 were impregnated on the catalyst surface to investigate the effects of Zr addition on the K＋‐poisoning resistance of the CeTiOx catalyst. The NH3‐SCR performance of the catalysts showed that the NOx removal activity of the Zr‐modified catalyst after poisoning was better than that of the CeTiOx catalyst. Brunau‐er‐Emmett‐Teller data indicated that the Zr‐containing catalyst had a larger specific surface area and pore volume both before and after K＋poisoning. X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy showed that Zr doping inhibited anatase TiO2 crystal grain growth, i.e., the molten salt flux effect caused by the loaded KNO3 was inhibited. The Ce 3d X‐ray photoelectron spectra showed that the Ce3＋/Ce4＋ratio of CeZrTiOx decreased more slowly than that of CeTiOx with increasing K＋loading, indicating that Zr addition preserved more crystal defects and oxygen vacancies; this improved the catalytic performance. The acidity was a key factor in the NH3‐SCR performance; the temperature‐programmed desorption of NH3 results showed that Zr doping inhibited the decrease in the surface acidity. The results suggest that Zr improved the K＋‐poisoning resistance of the CeTiOx catalyst.

Synthesis of nitrocarbazole compounds and their electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohol

Three compounds with nitrocarbazole frameworks were synthesized and their electrochemical reversibility as organic electrocatalysts was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical reversibility and oxidation‐reduction potential of the compounds were greatly affected by their substituents. The oxidation‐reduction potential of the compound with an electron‐donating group was negative, while that of the compound with an electron‐withdrawing group on the carbazole framework was positive. The electrocatalytic oxidation activities of the nitrocarbazole compounds were investigated through cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis at room tem‐perature. The electrocatalysts showed excellent selectivity for p‐methoxybenzyl alcohol, converting it to the corresponding aldehyde through electro‐oxidation with just 2.5 mol%of the electrocata‐lysts presented. The electrocatalysts maintained their excellent electroredox activity following re‐cycling.

Synthesis of a chabazite-supported copper catalyst with full mesopores for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides at low temperature

A series of meso‐microporous copper‐supporting chabazite molecular sieve（CuSAPO‐34） catalysts with excellent performance in low‐temperature ammonia selective catalytic reduction（NH3‐SCR）have been synthesized via a one‐pot hydrothermal crystallization method. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption‐desorption measurements, X‐ray diffraction, 27 Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed reduction measurements, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. The formation of micro‐mesopores in the Cu‐SAPO‐34 catalysts decreases diffusion resistance and greatly improves the accessibility of reactants to catalytic active sites. The main active sites for NH3‐SCR reaction are the isolated Cu^2＋ species displaced into the ellipsoidal cavity of the Cu‐SAPO‐34 catalysts.

Promotional effect of H_3PO_4 on ceria catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A series of H3PO4-modified CeO2 samples were prepared by impregnation of CeO2 with H3PO4solution,and evaluated for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption,infrared spectroscopy,Raman spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,temperature-programmed desorption of NH3,and temperature-programmed reduction of H2.The results showed that more than 80%NO conversion was achieved in the temperature range 250-550℃ over the H3PO4-CeO2 catalyst.The enhanced catalytic performance could be ascribed to the increase in acidic strength,especially Bronsted acidity,and reduction in redox properties of the CeO2 after H3PO4 modification.

Resistance to SO_2 poisoning of V_2O_5/TiO_2-PILC catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A titania pillared interlayered clay（Ti-PILC） supported vanadia catalyst（V2O5/TiO2-PILC） was prepared by wet impregnation for the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with ammonia. Compared to the traditional V2O5/TiO2 and V2O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalysts, the V2O5/TiO2-PILC catalyst exhibited a higher activity and better SO2 and H2O resistance in the NH3-SCR reaction. Characterization using TPD, in situ DRIFT and XPS showed that surface sulfate and/or sulfite species and ionic SO4^（2-）species were formed on the catalyst in the presence of SO2. The ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst surface was one reason for deactivation of the catalyst in SCR. The formation of the ionic SO4^（2-） species was correlated with the amount of surface adsorbed oxygen species. Less adsorbed oxygen species gave less ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst.

Investigation of low-temperature hydrothermal stability of Cu-SAPO-34 for selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with NH_3

The low‐temperature hydrothermal stabilities of Cu‐SAPO‐34samples with various Si contents and Cu loadings were systematically investigated.The NH3oxidation activities and NH3‐selective catalytic reduction(SCR)activities(mainly the low‐temperature activities)of all the Cu‐SAPO‐34catalysts declined after low‐temperature steam treatment(LTST).These results show that the texture and acid density of Cu‐SAPO‐34can be better preserved by increasing the Cu loading,although the hydrolysis of Si-O-Al bonds is inevitable.The stability of Cu ions and the stability of the SAPO framework were positively correlated at relatively low Cu loadings.However,a high Cu loading(e.g.,3.67wt%)resulted in a significant decrease in the number of isolated Cu ions.Aggregation of CuO particles also occurred during the LTST,which accounts for the decreasing NH3oxidation activities of the catalysts.Among the catalysts,Cu‐SAPO‐34with a high Si content and medium Cu content(1.37wt%)showed the lowest decrease in NH3‐SCR because its Cu2+content was well retained and its acid density was well preserved.

Influence of sulfation on CeO_2-ZrO_2 catalysts for NO reduction with NH_3

CeO2‐ZrO2 (CeZr) and sulfated CeO2‐ZrO2 (S‐CeZr) catalysts were prepared for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. The CeZr catalysts exhibited higher activity at low temperatures (< 200°C) and lower activity at high temperatures (> 200 °C) than the S‐CeZr catalysts. The sulfation ofCeZr was studied in terms of surface acidity, redox properties and NO adsorption‐desorption bytemperature‐dependent experiments and in situ infrared spectroscopy. S‐CeZr displayed high concentrationsof acidic sites and increased surface acidities, but poor reducibility compared with CeZr.The high acidity of S‐CeZr was attributed to the presence of Br?nsted acid sites, arising mainly fromthe surface sulfates. Because the surface was covered with sulfate species, S‐CeZr showed lower NOadsorption and weaker oxidation ability than CeZr. The adsorption of NH3 on the Br?nsted acid sites restricted the reaction with NO at low temperatures, but the selective catalytic reduction cycle occurred easily at relatively low temperatures (150 °C), and the weakly bound nitrite was partially activated on the S‐CeZr catalyst at relatively high temperatures (300 °C). The catalytic mechanisms for the CeZr and S‐CeZr catalysts at 150 and 300 °C were also studied.

Promotional effects of Er incorporation in CeO_2(ZrO_2)/TiO_2 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A series CeO2（ZrO2）/TiO2 catalysts were modified with Er using a sol-gel method.The catalytic activity of the obtained catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with NH3 was investigated to determine the appropriate Er dosage.The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption,NH3 temperature-programmed desorption,H2 temperature-programmed reduction,photoluminescence spectroscopy,electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results showed that the optimum Er/Ce molar ratio was 0.10;this catalyst had excellent resistance to catalyst poisoning caused by vapor and sulfur and gave more than 90% NO conversion at 220–395 ℃ and a gas hourly space velocity of 71 400 h^-1.Er incorporation increased the Ti^3＋ concentrations,oxygen storage capacities,and oxygen vacancy concentrations of the catalysts,resulting in excellent catalytic performance.Er incorporation also decreased the acid strength and inhibited growth of TiO2 and CeO2 crystal particles,which increased the catalytic activity.The results show that high oxygen vacancy concentrations and oxygen storage capacities,large amounts of Ti^3＋,and low acid strengths give excellent SCR activity.

Bimetallic Cr-In/H-SSZ-13 for selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane

Bimetallic Cr-In/H-SSZ-13 zeolites were prepared by wet impregnation and investigated for selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane(CH4-SCR).Reduction-oxidation treatments led to close contact and interaction between Cr and In species in these zeolites,as revealed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Compared to monometallic Cr/H-SSZ-13 and In/H-SSZ-13,the bimetallic catalyst system exhibited dramatically enhanced CH4-SCR performance,i.e.,NO conversion greater than 90%and N2 selectivity greater than 99%at 550°C in the presence of 6%H2O under a high gas hourly space velocity of 75 000/h.The bimetallic Cr-In/H-SSZ-13 showed very good stability in CH4-SCR with no significant activity loss for over 160 h.Catalytic data revealed that CH4 and NO were activated on the In and Cr sites of Cr-In/H-SSZ-13,respectively,both in the presence of O2 during CH4-SCR.

Ho-modified Mn-Ce/TiO_2 for low-temperature SCR of NO_x with NH_3:Evaluation and characterization

Low‐temperature selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO with NH3 was tested over Ho‐doped Mn–Ce/TiO2 catalysts prepared by the impregnation method.The obtained catalysts with different Ho doping ratios were characterized by Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller(BET),X‐ray diffraction(XRD),temperature‐programmed reduction(H2‐TPR),temperature‐programmed desorption of NH3(NH3‐TPD),X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The catalytic activities were tested on a fixed bed.Their results indicated that the proper doping amount of Ho could effectively improve the low‐temperature denitrification performance and the SO2 resistance of Mn–Ce/TiO2 catalyst.The catalyst with Ho/Ti of 0.1 presented excellent catalytic activity,with a conversion of more than 90%in the temperature window of 140–220°C.The characterization results showed that the improved SCR activity of the Mn–Ce/TiO2 catalyst caused by Ho doping was due to the increase of the specific surface area,higher concentration of chemisorbed oxygen,higher surface Mn4+/Mn3+ratio,and higher acidity.The SO2 resistance test showed that the deactivating influence of SO2 on the catalyst was irreversible.The XRD and XPS results showed that the main reason for the catalyst deactivation was sulfates that had formed on the catalyst surface and that Ho doping could inhibit the sulfation to some extent.

Effects of surface physicochemical properties on NH_3-SCR activity of MnO_2 catalysts with different crystal structures

α‐,β‐,δ‐,andγ‐MnO2nanocrystals are successfully prepared.We then evaluated the NH3selective catalytic reduction(SCR)performance of the MnO2catalysts with different phases.The NOx conversion efficiency decreased in the order:γ‐MnO2>α‐MnO2>δ‐MnO2>β‐MnO2.The NOx conversion with the use ofγ‐MnO2andα‐MnO2catalysts reached90%in the temperature range of140–200°C,while that based onβ‐MnO2reached only40%at200°C.Theγ‐MnO2andα‐MnO2nanowire crystal morphologies enabled good dispersion of the catalysts and resulted in a relatively high specific surface area.We found thatγ‐MnO2andα‐MnO2possessed stronger reducing abilities and more and stronger acidic sites than the other catalysts.In addition,more chemisorbed oxygen existed on the surface of theγ‐MnO2andα‐MnO2catalysts.Theγ‐MnO2andα‐MnO2catalysts showed excellent performance in the low‐temperature SCR of NO to N2with NH3.

Supercritical water syntheses of transition metal-doped CeO_2 nano-catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by CO:An in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study

In the present study,we synthesized CeO2 catalysts doped with various transition metals(M=Co,Fe,or Cu)using a supercritical water hydrothermal route,which led to the incorporation of the metal ions in the CeO2 lattice,forming solid solutions.The catalysts were then used for the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO by CO.The Cu‐doped catalyst exhibited the highest SCR activity;it had a T50(i.e.,50%NO conversion)of only 83°C and a T90(i.e.,90%NO conversion)of 126°C.Such an activity was also higher than in many state‐of‐the‐art catalysts.In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that the MOx‐CeO2 catalysts(M=Co and Fe)mainly followed an Eley‐Rideal reaction mechanism for CO‐SCR.In contrast,a Langmuir‐Hinshelwood SCR reaction mechanism occurred in CuO‐CeO2 owing to the presence of Cu+species,which ensured effective adsorption of CO.This explains why CuO‐CeO2 exhibited the highest activity with regard to the SCR of NO by CO.

Review on the latest developments in modified vanadium-titanium-based SCR catalysts

Vanadium-titanium-based catalysts are the most widely used industrial materials for NO_x removal from coal-fired power plants. Owing to their relatively poor low-temperature deNO_x activity, low thermal stability, insufficient Hg^0 oxidation activity, SO_2 oxidation, ammonia slip, and other disadvantages,modifications to traditional vanadium-titanium-based selective catalytic reduction（SCR）catalysts have been attempted by many researchers to promote their relevant performance. This article reviewed the research progress of modified vanadium-titanium-based SCR catalysts from seven aspects, namely,（1） improving low-temperature deNO_x efficiency,（2） enhancing thermal stability,（3） improving Hg^0 oxidation efficiency,（4） oxidizing slip ammonia,（5） reducing SO_2 oxidation,（6） increasing alkali resistance, and（7） others. Their catalytic performance and the influence mechanisms have been discussed in detail. These catalysts were also divided into different categories according to their modified components such as noble metals（e.g., silver, ruthenium）, transition metals（e.g., manganese, iron, copper, zirconium, etc.）, rare earth metals（e.g., cerium, praseodymium）,and other metal chlorides（e.g., calcium chloride, copper chloride） and non-metals（fluorine,sulfur, silicon, nitrogen, etc.）. The advantages and disadvantages of these catalysts were summarized.Based on previous studies and the author＇s point of view, doping the appropriate modified components is beneficial to further improve the overall performance of vanadium-titanium-based SCR catalysts. This has enormous development potential and is a promising way to realize the control of multiple pollutants on the basis of the existing flue gas treatment system.

Dynamic model for predicting nitrogen oxide concentration at outlet of selective catalytic reduction denitrification system based on kernel extreme learning machine

To solve the increasing model complexity due to several input variables and large correlations under variable load conditions,a dynamic modeling method combining a kernel extreme learning machine(KELM)and principal component analysis(PCA)was proposed and applied to the prediction of nitrogen oxide(NO_(x))concentration at the outlet of a selective catalytic reduction(SCR)denitrification system.First,PCA is applied to the feature information extraction of input data,and the current and previous sequence values of the extracted information are used as the inputs of the KELM model to reflect the dynamic characteristics of the NO_(x)concentration at the SCR outlet.Then,the model takes the historical data of the NO_(x)concentration at the SCR outlet as the model input to improve its accuracy.Finally,an optimization algorithm is used to determine the optimal parameters of the model.Compared with the Gaussian process regression,long short-term memory,and convolutional neural network models,the prediction errors are reduced by approximately 78.4%,67.6%,and 59.3%,respectively.The results indicate that the proposed dynamic model structure is reliable and can accurately predict NO_(x)concentrations at the outlet of the SCR system.

Carbon nanotubes loaded with vanadium oxide for reduction NO with NH_3 at low temperature

The catalytic activity of carbon nanotubes-supported vanadium oxide(V_2O_5/CNTs) catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO with NH_3 at low temperatures(<250℃) was investigated.The effects of V_2O_5loading,reaction temperature,and presence of SO_2 on the SCR activity were evaluated.The results show that V_2O_5/CNTs catalysts exhibit high activity for NO reduction with NH_3 at low-temperatures.The catalysts also show very high stability in the presence of SO_2.More interestingly,their activities are significantly promoted instead of being poisoned by SO_2.The promoting effect of SO_2 is distinctly associated with V_2O_5 loading,particularly maximized at low V_2O_5 loading,which indicated the role of CNTs support in this effect.The promoting effect of SO_2 at low temperatures suggests that V_2O_5/CNTs catalysts are promising catalytic materials for low-temperature SCR reactions.

Selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO mediated by a[FeFe]-hydrogenase model with a 1,2-phenylene S-to-S bridge

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO is a promising approach for storing solar energy in chemicals and mitigating the greenhouse effect of CO2.Our recent studies revealed that[(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6](1,bdt=benzene-1,2-dithiolato),a[FeFe]-hydrogenase model with a rigid and conjugate S-to-S bridge,was catalytically active for the selective photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO,while its analogous complex[(μ-edt)Fe2(CO)6](2,edt=ethane-1,2-dithiolato)was inactive.In this study,it was found that the turnover number of 1 for CO evolution reached 710 for the 1/[Ru(bpy)3]2+/BIH(BIH=1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]-imidazole)system under optimal conditions over 4.5 h of visible-light irradiation,with a turnover frequency of 7.12 min−1 in the first hour,a high selectivity of 97%for CO,and an internal quantum yield of 2.8%.Interestingly,the catalytic selectivity of 1 can be adjusted and even completely switched in a facile manner between the photochemical reductions of CO2 to CO and of protons to H2 simply by adding different amounts of triethanolamine to the catalytic system.The electron transfer in the photocatalytic system was studied by steady-state fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy,and a plausible mechanism for the photocatalytic reaction was proposed.

Vanadium oxide nanotubes for selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with NH_3

Vanadium oxide （VOx） nanostructures, synthesized by hydrothermal treatment using dodecylamine as template, were evaluated for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia （NH3-SCR）, The effect of solvent type in the reaction mixture （EtOH/（EtOH ＋ H20）） and time of hydrolysis was studied. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET, The VOx nanorods （80-120 nm diameter and 1-4 μm length） were synthesized in 25 vol% EtOH/（EtOH ＋ H20） and the open-ended multiwalled VOx nanotube （50-100 nm inner diameter, 110-180 nm outer diameter and 0,5-2 pm length） synthesized in 50 vol% EtOH/（EtOH ＋ H20）. VOx nanotuhes performed the superior NH3-SCR activity under a gas hourly space velocity of 12,000 h-1 at low temperature of 250 ~C （NOx conversion of 893g ＆ N2 selectivity of 100%）, while most of the developed Vanadia base catalysts are active at high temperature （〉350 ℃）. The superior NH3-SCR activity ofVOx nanotubes at low tem- perature is related to nanocrystalline structure, special nanotube morphology as well as high specific surface area.

FeCl_3·6H_2O-catalyzed selective reduction of allylic halides to alkenes with concomitant oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes

Iron-catalyzed direct reduction of allylic halides with benzylic alcohol was achieved,providing a new,simple,and efficient method for conducting highly regioselective hydrodehalogenation.This method not only features a readily available reductant,an inexpensive catalyst,simple manipulation,and good tolerance of functional groups including nitriles,nitro,esters,and methoxyl groups,it also has mild reaction conditions and shows complete regioselectivity in that only halides sited at the allylic position are reduced.Alternatively,this method can be applied in the selective transformation of benzylic alcohols to aromatic aldehydes without overoxidation to carboxylic acids.
