Cerium-tungsten oxides supported on activated red mud for the selective catalytic reduction of NO_(x)

Activated red mud(RM)has been proved to be a promising base material for the selective catalysis reduction(SCR)of NOx.The inherent low reducibility and acidity limited its low-temperature activity.In this work,molybdenum oxide,tungsten oxide,and cerium oxide were used to reconfigure the redox sites and acid sites of red mud based catalyst.When activated red mud was reconfigured by cerium-tungsten oxide(Ce-W@RM),the NOx conversion kept above 90%at 219-480℃.The existence of Ce^(3+)/Ce^(4+) redox electron pairs provided more surface adsorbed oxygen(O_(α)) and served as a redox cycle.Positive interactions between Ce,W species and Fe oxide in red mud occurred,which led to the formation of unsaturated chemical bond and promoted the activation of adsorbed NH_(3) species.WO_(3) and Ce_(2)(WO_(4))_(3)(formed by solid-state reaction between Ce and W species)could provide more Brønsted acid sites(W-O modes of WO_(3),W=O or W-O-W modes of Ce_(2)(WO_(4))_(3)).CeO_(2) species could provide more Lewis acid sites.The Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)routes and Eley-Rideal(E-R)routes occurred in the low-temperature SCR reaction on the Ce-W@RM surface.NH_(4)^(+) species on Brønsted acid sites,NH_(3) species on Lewis acid sites,bidentate nitrate and bridging nitrate species were key active intermediates species.

One-pot synthesis of bimetallic CeCu-SAPO-34 for high-efficiency selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with NH_(3) at low temperature

NH_(3) selective catalytic reduction(SCR) has been widely recognized as a promising technique for reducing nitrogen oxides from diesel vehicle exhausts. High-efficiency SCR catalysts that could perform at low temperatures are essential to denitration. In this work, a series of bimetallic CeCu-SAPO-34 molecular sieves were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. The Ce Cu-SAPO-34 maintained good crystallinity and a regular hexahedron appearance of Cu-SAPO-34 after introducing Ce species, while exhibiting a higher specific surface area and pore volume. The as-prepared CeCu-SAPO-34 with 0.02%(mass) Ce constituent exhibited the best catalytic activity below 300℃ and a maximum NO_(x) conversion of 99% was attained;the NO_(x) removal rates of more than 68% and 94% were achieved at 150℃ and 200℃, respectively. And the introduction of cerium species in Cu-SAPO-34 improves the low-temperature hydrothermal stability of the catalyst towards NH_(3)-SCR reaction. Additionally, the introduced Ce species could enhance the formation of abundant weak Br?nsted acid centers and promote the synergistic effect between CuO grains and isolated Cu^(2+) to enhance the redox cycle, which benefit the NH_(3)-SCR reaction.This work provides a facile synthesis method of high-efficiency SCR denitration catalysts towards diesel vehicles exhaust treatment under low temperature.

Effect of samarium on the N_(2) selectivity of Sm_(x)Mn_(0.3-x)Ti catalysts during selective catalytic reduction of NO_(x) with NH_(3)

This work aims to study the improvement effect of Sm on Mn-based catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3.A series of Sm_(x)Mn_(0.3-x)-xTi catalysts (x=0,0.1,0.15,0.2,and 0.3) were prepared by co-precipitation.Activity tests indicated that the Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti catalyst showed superior performances,with a NO conversion of 100%and N_(2)selectivity above 87%at 180–300℃.The characterizations showed that Sm doping suppressed the crystallization of TiO_(2)and Mn2O3phases and increased the specific surface area and acidity.In particular,the surface area increased from 152.2 m^(2)·g^(-1)for Mn0.3Ti to 241.7 m^(2)·g^(-1)for Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti.These effects contributed to the high catalytic activity.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated that the relative atomic ratios of Sm^(3+)/Sm and Oβ/O of Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti were 76.77at%and 44.11at%,respectively.The presence of Sm contributed to an increase in surface-absorbed oxygen (Oβ) and a decrease in Mn^(4+)surface concentration,which improved the catalytic activity.In the results of hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_(2)-TPR),the presence of Sm induced a higher reduction temperature and lower H_(2)consumption (0.3 mmol·g^(-1)) for the Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti catalyst compared to the Mn0.3Ti catalyst.The decrease in Mn^(4+)weakened the redox property of the catalysts and increased the N_(2)selectivity by suppressing N_(2)O formation from NH3oxidation and the nonselective catalytic reduction reaction.The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (DRIFTs) revealed that NH3-SCR of NO over the Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti catalyst mainly followed the Eley–Rideal mechanism.Sm doping increased surface-absorbed oxygen and weakened the redox property to improve the NO conversion and N_(2)selectivity of the Sm_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)Ti catalyst.

Promoted catalytic property of Cu/SSZ-13 by introducing a minority of Mn for NO removal from diesel engine exhaust

The Cu-exchanged SSZ-13 with the small-pore chabazite framework is considered as a highly efficient catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR).In order to further improve the catalytic property,a series of Mn ion-assisted Cu/SSZ-13 powder catalysts were prepared by co-exchange method and stepwise exchange method.It is found that the NH_(3)-SCR activity,N_(2) selectivity,hydrothermal stability and sulfur resistance of Cu/SSZ-13 are promoted by introducing a minority of Mn(0.15%to 0.23%(mass))through co-exchange method.Characterization results reveal that the Cu,Mn co-exchange enables the higher amounts of Cu^(2+)active sites,the abundant medium strong and strong acid,the optimized ratio of Lewis acid to Brønsted acid etc.,which are required for a good NH_(3)-SCR catalytic property over broad temperature range and under harsh working environment.Moreover,a monolithic catalyst was prepared by impregnating a cordierite ceramic support into the coating slurry containing the optimized CuMn/SSZ-13 powder.The diesel engine bench tests show that Cu,Mn co-exchange gives the monolith catalyst a better catalytic property than commercial catalysts.This work provides an important guidance for the rational design of secondary-ion-assisted zeolites applied in NH_(3)-SCR.

Fe-Mn/Al_2O_3 catalysts for low temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH_3

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.

Performances of CuSO_4/TiO_2 catalysts in selective catalytic reduction of NO_x by NH_3

A series of CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts were prepared using a wet impregnation method.The activity of each sample in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3（NH3-SCR） was determined.The effects of SO2 and H2O,and their combined effect,on the activity were examined at 340 ℃ for 24 h.The catalysts were characterized using N2 adsorption-desorption,X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduction of H2（H2-TPR）,temperature-programmed desorption of NH3（NH3-TPD）,and in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy（DRIFTS）.The CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts had good activities,with low production of N2O above 340 ℃.SO2 or a combination of SO2 and H2O had little effect on the activity,and H2O caused only a slight decrease in activity during the experimental period.The NH3-TPD and H2-TPR results showed that CuSO4 increased the amounts of acid sites and adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst.In situ DRIFTS showed that the NH3-SCR reaction on the CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts followed an Eley-Rideal mechanism.The reaction of gaseous NO with NH3 adsorbed on Lewis acid sites to form N2 and H2O could be the main reaction pathway,and oxygen adsorption might favor this process.

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 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.

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.

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.

Mn/beta and Mn/ZSM-5 for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia: Effect of manganese precursors

Two series of Mn/beta and Mn/ZSM‐5catalysts were prepared to study the influence of how different Mn precursors,introduced to the respective parent zeolites by wet impregnation,affected the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO by NH3across a low reaction temperature window of50–350°C.In this study,the catalysts were characterized using N2adsorption/desorption,X‐ray diffraction,X‐ray fluorescence,H2temperature‐programmed reduction,NH3temperature‐programmed desorption and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy.As the manganese chloride precursor only partially decomposed this primarily resulted in the formation of MnCl2in addition to the presence of low levels of crystalline Mn3O4,which resulted in poor catalytic performance.However,the manganese nitrate precursor formed crystalline MnO2as the major phase in addition to a minor presence of unconverted Mn‐nitrate.Furthermore,manganese acetate resulted principally in a mixture of amorphous Mn2O3and MnO2,and crystalline Mn3O4.From all the catalysts screened,the test performance data showed Mn/beta‐Ac to exhibit the highest NO conversion(97.5%)at240°C,which remained>90%across a temperature window of220–350°C.The excellent catalytic performance was ascribed to the enrichment of highly dispersed MnOx(Mn2O3and MnO2)species that act as the active phase in the NH3‐SCR process.Furthermore,together with a suitable amount of weakly acidic centers,higher concentration of surface manganese and a greater presence of surface labile oxygen groups,SCR performance was collectively enhanced at low temperature.?2018,Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Published by Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.

Kinetics of selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3 on Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst

The catalyst of Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 has been found to be more active than Fe-ZSM-5 and Mo/ZSM-5 separately for selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of nitric oxide （NO） with NH3. The kinetics of the SCR reaction in the presence of O2 was studied in this work. The results showed that the observed reaction orders were 0.74-0.99, 0.01-0.13, and 0 for NO, O2 and NH3 at 350-450℃, respectively. And the apparent activation energy of the SCR was 65 kJ/mol on the Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst. The SCR mechanism was also deduced. Adsorbed NO species can react directly with adsorbed ammonia species on the active sites to form N2 and H2O. Gaseous O2 might serve as a reoxidizing agent for the active sites that have undergone reduction in the SCR process. It is also important to note that a certain amount of NO was decomposed directly over the Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst in the absence of NH3.

Synthesis of novel MnO_x@TiO_2 core-shell nanorod catalyst for low-temperature NH_3-selective catalytic reduction of NOx with enhanced SO_2 tolerance

In this study,a MnOx@TiO2 core‐shell catalyst prepared by a two‐step method was used for the low‐temperature selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3.The catalyst exhibits high activity,high stability,and excellent N2 selectivity.Furthermore,it displays better SO2 and H2O tolerance than its MnOx,TiO2,and MnOx/TiO2 counterparts.The prepared catalyst was characterized systematically by transmission electron microscopy,high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy,X‐ray diffraction,Raman,BET,X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy,NH3 temperature‐programmed desorption and H2 temperature‐programmed reduction analyses.The optimized MnOx@TiO2 catalyst exhibits an obvious core‐shell structure,where the TiO2 shell is evenly distributed over the MnOx nanorod core.The catalyst also presents abundant mesopores,Lewis‐acid sites,and high redox capability,all of which enhance its catalytic performance.According to the XPS results,the decrease in the number of Mn4+active centers after SO2 poisoning is significantly lower in MnOx@TiO2 than in MnOx/TiO2.The core‐shell structure is hence able to protect the catalytic active sites from H2O and SO2 poisoning.

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.

Performance of V_2O_5-WO_3-MoO_3/TiO_2 Catalyst for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO_x by NH_3

The V/O5-WO3-MoOy＇TiO2 honeycomb catalyst was prepared with industrial grade chemicals. The structural and physico-chemical properties were analyzed with X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron micrograph （SEM） and mercury porosimetry. The NOx conversion and durability were investigated on a pilot plant test set under the actual operational conditions of a coal fired boiler. The catalyst monolith had good formability with mass per- centage of V ： W ： Mo ： TiO2 ： fiber glass = 1 ： 4.5 ： 4.5 ： 72 ： 18. Vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum species were highly dispersed on anatase TiO2 without causing the transformation of anatase TiO2 to ruffle by calcining under a current of air at 450℃ for 4.5 h, but there were some degrees of crystal distortion. The catalyst particle sizes were almost uniform with close pile-up and the pore structure was regular with complete macro-pore formation and large specific surface area. The NOx conversion was sensitive to temperature but nearly insensitive to NH3. The catalyst showed strong adaptability to NOx concentration with activity above 80% in the range of 615 1640 mg.m-3. Within the range of 720-8640 h continuous operation, the NOx conversion dropped at a rate of about 1% reduction per 600 h.

Influence of chromium modification on the properties of MnO_x-FeO_x catalysts for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

Catalytic properties of MnOx-FeOx complex oxide （hereafter denoted as Mn-Fe） catalysts modified with different loadings of chromium oxide were investigated by using the combination of physico-cbemical techniques, such as N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, high-resolution transmission electron microscope （HRTEM）, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （in situ FT-IR） and temperature-programmed reduction （TPR） and their catalytic activities were evaluated with the selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of NOx by NH3. It was found that with the addition of Cr, more NO could be removed in the low-temperature window （below 120 ℃）. Among the tested catalysts, Mn-Fe- Cr （2 ： 2 ： 1） catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance at 80 ℃ with the NO conversion higher than 90%. The combination of the reaction and characterization results indicated that （1） the strong interaction among tertiary metal oxides existed in the catalysts when Cr was appropriately added, which made the active components better dispersed with less agglomeration and sintering and the largest BET specific surface area could be obtained; （2） Cr improved the low-temperature reducibility of the catalyst and promoted the formation of the active intermediate （-NH3＋）, which favored the low-temperature SCR reaction.

Study on methane selective catalytic reduction of NO on Pt/Ce_(0.67)Zr_(0.33)O_2 and its application

Monolithic catalysts of Pt/La-Al2O3 and Pt/Ce0.67Zr0.3302 were prepared to investigate methane selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of NO. The results indicate that Pt/Ce0.67Zr0.33O2 shows high activity and both NO and CH4 can be converted completely at 450℃. Meanwhile, NO and CH4 can be converted completely when there exists excess oxygen. The Pt/Ce0.67Zr0.33O2 catalyst were further investigated by using methane as reducing agent to SCR NO in a novel equipment which combined the CH4 selective catalytic reduction of NO with methane combustion. The result shows that the catalyst is high active and the novel equipment is very effective. The conversion of NO is above 92% under the conditions used in this work. The prepared burner and catalysts have great potential for application.

Plasma-catalytic Selective Reduction of NO with C_(2)H_(4)in the Presence of Excess Oxygen

This paper reports observations of significant synergistic effects between dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas and Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts for C2H4 selective reduction of NOx at 250 °C in the presence of excess oxygen by using a one-stage plasma-over-catalyst (POC) reactor. With the reactant gas mixture of 530 ppm NO, 650 ppm C2H4, 5.8% O2 in N2 and GHSV = 12000 h-1, the pure catalytic, pure plasma-induced (discharges over fused silica pellets) and plasma- catalytic (in the POC reactor) NOx conversion are 39%, 1.5% and 79%, respectively. The in-situ optical emission spectra of the reactive systems imply some short-lived active species formed from plasma-induced and plasma-catalytic processes may be responsible to the observed synergistic effects in this one-stage POC system.

Experimental and Kinetic Study of Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH_3 over CuO/Al_2O_3/Cordierite Catalyst

The CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst, after being sulfated by sulfur dioxide (SO2) at 673 K, exhibits high activities for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxide (NO) with ammonia (NH3) at 573-723 K. The intrinsic kinetics of SCR of NO with NH3 over CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst has been measured in a fixed-bed reactor in the absence of internal and external diffusions. The experimental results show that the reaction rate can be quantified by a first-order expression with activation energy Eá of 94.01 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding p re-exponential factor A′ of 3.39×108 cm3·g-1·s-1 when NH3 is excessive. However, when NH3 is not enough, an E ley-Rideal kinetic model based on experimental data is derived with Ea of 105.79 kJ·mol-1, the corresponding A of 2 .94×109 cm3·g-1·s-1, heat of adsorption-Hads of 87.90 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding Aads of 9.24 cm3·mol-1. The intrinsic kinetic model obtained was incorporated in a 3D mathematical model of monolithic reactor, and the agreement of the prediction with experimental data indicates that the present kinetic model is adequate for the reac-tor design and engineering scale-up.
