Synergistic effect of F and triggered oxygen vacancies over F-TiO2 on enhancing NO ozonation

Oxidation-absorption technology is a key step for NO_x removal from low-temperature gas. Under the condition of low O₃ concentration (O₃/NO molar ratio = 0.6), F-TiO₂ (F-TiO₂), which is cheap and environmentally friendly, has been prepared as ozonation catalysts for NO oxidation. Catalytic activity tests performed at 120°C showed that the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO₂ samples was higher than that of TiO₂ (about 43.7%), and the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO₂-0.15 was the highest, which was 65.3%. Combined with physicochemical characteristics of catalysts and the analysis of active species, it was found that there was a synergistic effect between F sites and oxygen vacancies on F-TiO₂, which could accelerate the transformation of monomolecular O₃ into multi-molecule singlet oxygen (¹O₂), thus promoting the selective oxidation of NO to NO₂. The oxidation reaction of NO on F-TiO₂-0.15 follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism, that is, gaseous NO reacts with adsorbed O₃ and finally form NO₂.     

Release of nitric oxide from building stones into the atmosphere

Stone material from the corroding surface of buildings generally released nitric oxide with rates of 0.42–4.2 ng NON h⁻¹ g⁻¹ d.w. despite their large range of moisture, pH and content of ammonium, nitrite and nitrate. The net release rates of NO were independent of the NO mixing ratio of the atmosphere up to 1 ppmv NO. Whereas NO₂ was taken up by all stones tested, uptake of NO was only observed in one out of five types of stone. NO release rates were highest at the stone surface and rapidly decreased in depth lower than 1 cm. NO release persisted for up to >3 months after the stone sample was removed from the building. NO was mainly produced during the biogenic oxidation of ammonium to nitrate at the stone surface which was probably due to endolithic nitrifying bacteria. Chemical decomposition of nitrite to NO and NO₂ was only observed under acidic conditions.     

非热等离子体结合CuO催化剂或Ca(OH)2吸收剂去除氮氧化物

采用非热等离子体结合催化或现场化学吸收的2种方法来去除气流中的NO_x.结果表明,非热等离子体结合催化,反应器内的CuO催化剂能有效地促进NO的还原反应;相对于催化还原NO而言,脉冲电晕作用下能有效地降低NO催化还原的反应温度.当催化剂为CuO,脉冲电压为18kV,反应温度为200℃,还原剂为1%CO及NO进口浓度为719 mg/m³条件下,NO的去除率达到了100%.非热等离子体结合现场化学吸收方法,是一种在常温下从气流中净化氮氧化物的有效方法,NO的去除率远远高于反应器内没有吸收剂的情况.可以认为反应器内的Ca(OH)₂吸收剂通过与NO的氧化产物NO₂或NO₃的吸收反应促进了NO的去除.当反应器内有Ca(OH)₂吸收剂存在时,在脉冲电压为18kV,O₂浓度为2%及NO进口浓度为1 050 mg/m³条件下,NO的去除率达到了100%.     

Role of NO in Hg oxidation over a commercial selective catalytic reduction catalyst V2O5–WO3/TiO2

Experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor that contained a commercial catalyst, V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂, to investigate mercury oxidation in the presence of NO and O₂. Mercury oxidation was improved by NO, and the efficiency was increased by simultaneously adding NO and O₂. With NO and O₂ pretreatment at 350°C, the catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity for Hg⁰ oxidation, whereas NO pretreatment did not exert a noticeable effect. Decreasing the reaction temperature boosted the performance of the catalyst treated with NO and O₂. Although NO promoted Hg⁰ oxidation at the very beginning, excessive NO counteracted this effect. The results show that NO plays different roles in Hg⁰ oxidation; NO in the gaseous phase may directly react with the adsorbed Hg⁰, but excessive NO hinders Hg⁰ adsorption. The adsorbed NO was converted into active nitrogen species (e.g., NO₂) with oxygen, which facilitated the adsorption and oxidation of Hg⁰. Hg⁰ was oxidized by NO mainly by the Eley–Rideal mechanism. The Hg⁰ temperature-programmed desorption experiment showed that weakly adsorbed mercury species were converted to strongly bound ones in the presence of NO and O₂.     

Characterization and performance of Pt/SBA-15 for low-temperature SCR of NO by C3H6

Pt supported on mesoporous silica SBA-15 was investigated as a catalyst for low temperature selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO by C 3 H 6 in the presence of excess oxygen.The prepared catalysts were characterized by means of XRD,BET surface area,TEM,NO-TPD,NO/C 3 H 6-TPO,NH 3-TPD,XPS and 27 Al MAS NMR.The effects of Pt loading amount,O 2 /C 3 H 6 concentration,and incorporation of Al into SBA-15 have been studied.It was found that the removal efficiency increased significantly after Pt loading,but an optimal loading amount was observed.In particular,under an atmosphere of 150 ppm NO,150 ppm C 3 H 6,and 18 vol.% O 2,0.5% Pt/SBA-15 showed remarkably high catalytic performance giving 80.1% NOx reduction and 87.04% C 3 H 6 conversion simultaneously at 140°C.The enhanced SCR activity of Pt/SBA-15 is associated with its outstanding oxidation activities of NO to NO 2 and C 3 H 6 to CO 2 in low temperature range.The research results also suggested that higher concentration of O 2 and higher concentration of C 3 H 6 favored NO removal.The incorporation of Al into SBA-15 improved catalytic performance,which could be ascribed to the enhancement of catalyst surface acidity caused by tetrahedrally coordinated AlO 4.Moreover,the catalysts could be easily reused and possessed good stability.     

Investigation of the common intermediates over Fe-ZSM-5 in NH3-SCR reaction at low temperature by in situ DRIFTS

The surface species formed in the reaction of NO and NO₂ with pre-adsorbed NH₃ over a Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst (1.27 wt.% Fe, SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 25) at low temperature (140°C) were studied by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Through using a background spectrum of NH₃-saturated Fe-ZSM-5, we clearly observed the formation of common intermediates resulting from the reaction of NO₂ or NO + O₂ with pre-adsorbed NH₃. This presents strong evidence that the oxidation of NO to form surface nitrates and nitrites is the key step for standard SCR at low temperature. In addition, the results suggest that in the SCR reaction at low temperature, the NH₄⁺ ions absorbed on Brønsted acid sites are less active than NH₃ adsorbed on Lewis acid sites related to Fe species.     

Uptake of NO,NO2 and O3 by sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.): dependence on stomatal conductivity

The uptake of NO, NO₂ and O₃ by sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L. var. giganteus) and tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Bel W3), using concentrations representative for moderately polluted air, has been determined by gas exchange experiments. Conductivities for these trace gases were measured at different light fluxes ranging from 820 μEm⁻²s⁻¹ to darkness. The conductivities to water vapor and the trace gases are highly correlated. It is concluded that the uptake of NO, NO₂ and O₃ by sunflowers and tobacco plants is linearly dependent on stomatal opening. While the uptake of NO is limited by the mesophyll resistance, the uptake of NO₂ is only by diffusion through the stomata. Loss processes by deposition to the leaf surfaces are more pronounced for O₃ than for NO and NO₂.

Selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides over a modified silicoaluminophosphate commercial zeolite

Nitrogen oxides(NO_x:NO,NO_2)are a concern due to their adverse health effects.Diesel engine transport sector is the major emitter of NO_x.The regulations have been strengthened and to comply with them,one of the two methods commonly used is the selective catalytic reduction of NO_xby NH_3(NH_3-SCR),NH_3being supplied by the in-situ hydrolysis of urea.Efficiency and durability of the catalyst for this process are highly required.Durability is evaluated by hydrothermal treatment of the catalysts at temperature above 800°C.In this study,very active catalysts for the NH_3-SCR of NO_xwere prepared by using a silicoaluminophosphate commercial zeolite as copper host structure.Characterizations by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia(NH_3-TPD)showed that this commercial zeolite was hydrothermally stable up to 850°C and,was able to retain some structural properties up to950°C.After hydrothermal treatment at 850°C,the NO_xreduction efficiency into NH_3-SCR depends on the copper content.The catalyst with a copper content of 1.25 wt.%was the most active.The difference in activity was much more important when using NO than the fast NO/NO_2reaction mixture.     

基于碳捕集的富氧燃煤烟气联合脱硫脱硝试验研究

富氧燃煤烟气压缩液化CO2的高压低温工况为NO氧化为易溶于水的NO2提供了十分有利的条件.基于小型高压吸收试验装置,采用配制的富氧燃煤模拟烟气,在高压常温下进行了NO、SO2、O2与H2O的吸收反应试验.根据反应前后的气液产物分析,测定了不同组分比例与不同压力下混合气体中NO与SO2的转化率.NO氧化与吸收试验表明,NO转化为HNO3的比率随压力升高而增加,在0.5 ～2 MPa之间增加很快,在2 ～3 MPa之间增速趋丁平缓,压力达3 MPa以上时,90％以上的NO均转化为稀硝酸,且初始NO浓度越高,NO的转化率越大.混合气体中同时存在5O2与NO的联合吸收试验发现,只有少量的NO转化成了NO3-,SO2向H2SO4的转化率随压力升高而增加,初始SO2浓度越大,转化率越高.分析表明,SO2与NO同时存在时SO2先行转化为SO3,NO充当了催化剂,但SO2转化为SO3的一次转化率小于35％,反应酸液产物的多次循环能使SO2的转化率达到90％以上.建议的工艺流程中需采用两座吸收反应塔顺序脱除SO2与NO并回收稀酸溶液,有望在富氧燃煤发电捕集CO2系统中降低脱硫脱硝成本,部分地弥补富氧燃烧机组发电成本的增加.     

Numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of NO2 and N2O5 generation during the NO ozonation process

Wet scrubbing combined with ozone oxidation has become a promising technology for simultaneous removal of SO₂ and NO_x in exhaust gas. In this paper, a new 20-species, 76-step detailed kinetic mechanism was proposed between O₃ and NO_x. The concentration of N₂O₅ was measured using an in-situ IR spectrometer. The numerical evaluation results kept good pace with both the public experiment results and our experiment results. Key reaction parameters for the generation of NO₂ and N₂O₅ during the NO ozonation process were investigated by a numerical simulation method. The effect of temperature on producing NO₂ was found to be negligible. To produce NO₂, the optimal residence time was 1.25 sec and the molar ratio of O₃/NO about 1. For the generation of N₂O₅, the residence time should be about 8 sec while the temperature of the exhaust gas should be strictly controlled and the molar ratio of O₃/NO about 1.75. This study provided detailed investigations on the reaction parameters of ozonation of NO_x by a numerical simulation method, and the results obtained should be helpful for the design and optimization of ozone oxidation combined with the wet flue gas desulfurization methods (WFGD) method for the removal of NO_x.

Integrated removal of NO and mercury from coal combustion flue gas using manganese oxides supported on TiO2

A catalyst composed of manganese oxides supported on titania(MnO_x/TiO_2) synthesized by a sol–gel method was selected to remove nitric oxide and mercury jointly at a relatively low temperature in simulated flue gas from coal-fired power plants. The physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were investigated by X-ray fluorescence(XRF), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analyses, etc. The effects of Mn loading,reaction temperature and individual flue gas components on denitration and Hg~0 removal were examined. The results indicated that the optimal Mn/Ti molar ratio was 0.8 and the best working temperature was 240°C for NO conversion. O_2 and a proper ratio of [NH_3]/[NO]are essential for the denitration reaction. Both NO conversion and Hg~0 removal efficiency could reach more than 80% when NO and Hg~0 were removed simultaneously using Mn0.8 Tiat 240°C.Hg~0 removal efficiency slightly declined as the Mn content increased in the catalysts. The reaction temperature had no significant effect on Hg~0 removal efficiency. O_2 and HCl had a promotional effect on Hg~0 removal. SO2 and NH_3were observed to weaken Hg~0 removal because of competitive adsorption. NO first facilitated Hg~0 removal and then had an inhibiting effect as NO concentration increased without O_2, and it exhibited weak inhibition of Hg~0 removal efficiency in the presence of O_2. The oxidation of Hg~0 on Mn O x/TiO_2 follows the Mars–Maessen and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanisms.     

Design of a DBD wire-cylinder reactor for NOx emission control: experimental and modelling approach

The objective of this work was to develop a wire-cylinder dielectric barrier discharge reactor for NO_x removal from a gas mixture simulating exhaust gases. NO conversion was investigated as a function of parameters such as high voltage (HV) electrode material, dielectric material, NO concentration and reactor gap. A complete decomposition path is proposed from ¹⁸O₂ isotope experiments. Finally, a model consisting of ‘Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors’ (CSTR) cascade with multiple injections of atomic oxygen is proposed in order to explain the relationships between the reactor parameters (inlet flow, inlet NO concentration, electrical energy density and electrical gap) and the experimental results (outlet NO_x concentration). Optimization of the model parameters permitted the authors to fit experimental and calculated results with a maximum absolute error of about 5% on NO conversion.

广州番禺大气成分站一次典型光化学污染过程PAN和O3分析

通过对广州番禺大气成分站（GPACS）的光化学相关污染物（O₃、PAN、VOCs、NO₂、NO）以及气象要素进行观测,分析2010~2016年期间发生在广州地区一次典型光化学污染过程.结果表明,该光化学污染过程期间,O₃和PAN总体体积分数比较高,最大O₃小时体积分数为140.6×10^-9,而最大PAN小时体积分数为4.7×10^-9.NO整体体积分数较低,对O₃的化学滴定和PAN的去除影响较小.NO₂整体体积分数较高、辐射较强和风速较低则有利于O₃和PAN的形成和积累.PAN和O₃具有一定的线性关系（R²=0.55）,而形成PAN和O₃前体物VOCs物种不完全相同影响着它们的线性关系,在生成PAN的VOCs物种中,乙烯、丙烷、异戊二烯和甲苯所占的比例较大,而对臭氧生成潜势较大的物种有异戊二烯、1,3,5-三甲苯、丙烯、间,对-二甲苯以及甲苯.对PA自由基体积分数进行估算,发现它的日均值体积分数在0.11×10^-12~0.16×10^-12范围变化,远高于其它地区,表明此次发生的光化学反应较为强烈.     

大气NOx测量准确性问题分析

采用美国热电公司的NO-N02-NOx分析仪(Model 42i TL)和NOy分析仪(Model 42i NOy),在2011年1月-10月期间,对北京城市大气中的NO、NOx和NOy进行了连续在线测量.两台仪器对NO的测量结果具有较高的一致性(r＞0.998,p＜0.01),说明两台仪器测量精度基本一致.将NOy分析仪(Model 42i NOy)采样口处安装和不安装颗粒物过滤膜两种条件下测量的NOy结果与NO-NO2-NOx分析仪所测的NOx结果分别进行了相关性分析([NOy] =0.989x[NOx],R2 =0.993;[NOy] =1.134 ×[NOx],R2=0.959),得出以下两个结论:①以颗粒态硝酸盐为代表的颗粒物是造成NOx与NOy偏差的主要原因,其所占比例在10％左右;②目前Model 42i-TL所测NOx的浓度水平较真实值偏高,其测量值更接近气态NOy的浓度水平.为估算NO2测值被高估的程度(以2011年8月6日-15日观测数据为例),用扣除部分气态NOz物种(HONO、HNO3、PAN、PPN)的修正方法,推论出在夏季N02被高估约7％(R2=0.968).     

Pd/CeZr/TiO2/Al2O3蜂窝状金属丝网催化剂选择催化还原NOX

采用溶胶-凝胶法和浸渍法制备了Pd/CeZr/TiO2Al2O3蜂窝状金属丝网催化剂,并将其应用于在富氧条件下以丙烯选择催化还原NOx的研究.利用扫描电镜(SEM)分析了钛酸四丁酯的含量以及涂敷次数对TiO2涂层的影响,系统地考察了Pd含量、氧气浓度和空速对蜂窝状金属丝网催化剂催化性能的影响.实验结果表明,采用钛酸四丁酯的含量为20.0%的溶胶,涂敷2次,可以在金属丝网载体上氧化铝涂层表面获得均匀、无皲裂的TiO2涂层;Pd含量在0.23%～1.06%的范围内, NOx的转化率随Pd含量的增加而减小, Pd含量为0.23%时, NOx表现最高的NOx转化率;反应气体中氧气浓度从1.5%增加到6.0%, NOx的转化率随氧气浓度的增加而增大,当氧气浓度高于6.0%, NOx的转化率则随氧气浓度的增加而迅速减小; NOx的转化率随着空速的增加而降低,在高温条件下空速对转化率的影响要大于在低温条件下.     

Chemical and optical properties of aerosols and their interrelationship in winter in the megacity Shanghai of China

A field campaign on air quality was carried out in Shanghai in winter of 2012. The concentrations of NO, NO₂, NO_x, SO₂, CO, and PM_2.5 increased during haze formation. The average masses of SO₄^2-, NO₃^- and NH₄⁺ were 10.3, 11.7 and 6.7 μg/m³ during the haze episodes, which exceeded the average (9.2, 7.9, and 3.4 μg/m³) of these components in the non-haze days. The mean values for the aerosol scattering coefficient (b_sp), aerosol absorption coefficient (b_ap) and single scattering albedo (SSA) were 288.7, 27.7 and 0.91 Mm^-1, respectively. A bi-peak distribution was observed for the mass concentrations of CO, NO, NO₂, and NO_x. More sulfate was produced during daytime than that in the evening due to photochemical reactions. The mass concentration of NH₄⁺ achieved a small peak at noontime. NO₃^- showed lower concentrations in the afternoon and higher concentrations in the early morning. There were obvious bi-peak diurnal patterns for bsp and bap as well as SSA. bsp and bap showed a positive correlation with PM_2.5 mass concentration. (NH₄)₂SO₄, NH₄NO₃, organic mass, elemental carbon and coarse mass accounted for 21.7%, 19.3%, 31.0%, 9.3% and 12.3% of the total extinction coefficient during non-haze days, and 25.6%, 24.3%, 30.1%, 8.1% and 8.2% during hazy days. Organic matter was the largest contributor to light extinction. The contribution proportions of ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate to light extinction were significantly higher during the hazy time than during the non-haze days.     

介质阻挡放电中添加乙炔对NO脱除的影响

利用介质阻挡放电(DBD)进行模拟烟气脱除NO实验,通过改变乙炔体积分数和烟气水蒸汽含量研究添加乙炔对NO脱除效率的影响.结果表明:烟气中添加乙炔强化了NO氧化作用,随着乙炔体积分数的提高,NO脱除率逐渐增加.在NO/N2/O2/C2H2/H2O体系中,水的电负性和离解反应消耗大量高能电子,降低了活性自由基的生成,NO脱除速率随之减慢;能量密度低于400 J·L-1时,相对湿度(RH)为0的情况下脱出效果最好.但随着能量密度的增加,H2O不会影响最终的NO脱除率;H2O的添加可以产生更多的·OH自由基,促进NO2向HNO3转化,使出口NO2浓度大幅度降低.
