Mechanism of Hg oxidation in the presence of HCl over a commercial V2O5–WO3/TiO2 SCR catalyst

Experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor containing a commercial V₂O₅/WO₃/TiO₂ catalyst to investigate mercury oxidation in the presence of HCl and O₂. Mercury oxidation was improved significantly in the presence of HCl and O₂, and the Hg⁰ oxidation efficiencies decreased slowly as the temperature increased from 200 to 400°C. Upon pretreatment with HCl and O₂ at 350°C, the catalyst demonstrated higher catalytic activity for Hg⁰ oxidation. Notably, the effect of pretreatment with HCl alone was not obvious. For the catalyst treated with HCl and O₂, better performance was observed with lower reaction temperatures. The results showed that both HCl and Hg⁰ were first adsorbed onto the catalyst and then reacted with O₂ following its adsorption, which indicates that the oxidation of Hg⁰ over the commercial catalyst followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Several characterization techniques, including Hg⁰ temperature-programmed desorption (Hg-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), were employed in this work. Hg-TPD profiles showed that weakly adsorbed mercury species were converted to strongly bound species in the presence of HCl and O₂. XPS patterns indicated that new chemisorbed oxygen species were formed by the adsorption of HCl, which consequently facilitated the oxidation of mercury.     

Role of NO in Hg~0 oxidation over a commercial selective catalytic reduction catalyst V_2O_5–WO_3/TiO_2

Experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor that contained a commercial catalyst,V_2O_5–WO_3/TiO_2,to investigate mercury oxidation in the presence of NO and O_2.Mercury oxidation was improved by NO,and the efficiency was increased by simultaneously adding NO and O_2.With NO and O_2 pretreatment at 350°C,the catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity for Hg~0 oxidation,whereas NO pretreatment did not exert a noticeable effect.Decreasing the reaction temperature boosted the performance of the catalyst treated with NO and O_2.Although NO promoted Hg~0 oxidation at the very beginning,excessive NO counteracted this effect.The results show that NO plays different roles in Hg~0oxidation; NO in the gaseous phase may directly react with the adsorbed Hg~0,but excessive NO hinders Hg~0 adsorption.The adsorbed NO was converted into active nitrogen species(e.g.,NO_2) with oxygen,which facilitated the adsorption and oxidation of Hg~0.Hg~0 was oxidized by NO mainly by the Eley–Rideal mechanism.The Hg~0 temperature-programmed desorption experiment showed that weakly adsorbed mercury species were converted to strongly bound ones in the presence of NO and O_2.     

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 NH_3.The kinetics of the SCR reaction in the presence of O_2 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,O_2 and NH_3 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 N_2 and H_2O.Gaseous O_2 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 NH_3.     

Novel CeO2@TiO2 core–shell nanostructure catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3

The CeO₂@TiO₂ core–shell nanostructure catalyst prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method was used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH₃ in this study. The catalyst presented the obvious core–shell structure, and the shell was amorphous TiO₂ which could protect the active center from the SO₂ erosion. The catalyst showed high activity and stability, excellent N₂ selectivity and superior SO₂ resistance and H₂O tolerance. Characterizations such as TEM, HR-TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, NH₃-TPD, and H₂-TPR were carried out. The results indicated that the catalyst had large surface area and the active sites were well dispersed on the surface. The NH₃-TPD, H₂-TPR and XPS results implied that its increased SCR activity might be due to the enhancement of NH₃ chemisorption and the increase of active oxygen species, both of which were conductive to NH₃ activation. The excellent catalytic performance suggests that it is a promising candidate for SCR catalyst.     

Activity and hydrothermal stability of CeO2–ZrO2–WO3 for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3

A series of CeO_2–ZrO_2–WO_3(CZW)catalysts prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis method showed excellent catalytic activity for selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO with NH_3 over a wide temperature of 150–550°C.The effect of hydrothermal treatment of CZW catalysts on SCR activity was investigated in the presence of 10% H_2O.The fresh catalyst showed above 90% NO_x conversion at 201–459°C,which is applicable to diesel exhaust NO_x purification(200–440°C).The SCR activity results indicated that hydrothermal aging decreased the SCR activity of CZW at low temperatures(below 300°C),while the activity was notably enhanced at high temperature(above 450°C).The aged CZW catalyst(hydrothermal aging at 700°C for 8 hr)showed almost 80% NO_x conversion at 229–550°C,while the V_2O_5–WO_3/TiO_2 catalyst presented above 80% NO_x conversion at 308–370°C.The effect of structural changes,acidity,and redox properties of CZW on the SCR activity was investigated.The results indicated that the excellent hydrothermal stability of CZW was mainly due to the CeO_2–ZrO_2 solid solution,amorphous WO_3 phase and optimal acidity.In addition,the formation of WO_3 clusters increased in size as the hydrothermal aging temperature increased,resulting in the collapse of structure,which could further affect the acidity and redox properties.     

Highly selective catalytic reduction of NOxby MnOx–CeO2–Al2O3 catalysts prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

We first present preparation of MnOx–CeO_2–Al_2O_3 catalysts with varying Mn contents through a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS) method, and studied the application of these catalysts to the selective catalytic reduction of NOxwith NH3(NH_3-SCR).Using the catalyst with 18 wt.% Mn(18 MnCe1Al2), 100% NO conversion was achieved at 200°C and a gas hourly space velocity of 15384 hr-1, and the high-efficiency SCR temperature window, where NO conversion is greater than 90%, was widened to a temperature range of 150–300°C. 18 MnCe1Al2 showed great resistance to SO_2(100 ppm)and H_2O(5%) at 200°C. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET) analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and H_2 temperature programmed reduction. The characterization results showed that the surface atomic concentration of Mn increased with increasing Mn content, which led to synergism between Mn and Ce and improved the activity in the SCR reaction. 18 MnCe1Al2 has an extensive pore structure,with a BET surface area of approximately 135.4 m~2/g, a pore volume of approximately 0.16 cm~3/g, and an average pore diameter of approximately 4.6 nm. The SCR reaction on 18 MnCe1Al2 mainly followed the Eley-Rideal mechanism. The performances of the MnOx–CeO_2–Al_2O_3 catalysts were good, and because of the simplicity of the preparation process,the SHS method is applicable to their industrial-scale manufacture.     

Enhanced catalytic complete oxidation of 1,2-dichloroethane over mesoporous transition metal-doped γ-Al2O3

High-surface-area mesoprous powders of γ-Al₂O₃ doped with Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺, and V³⁺ ions were prepared via a modified sol-gel method and were investigated as catalysts for the oxidation of chlorinated organic compounds. The composites retained high surface areas and pore volumes comparable with those of undoped γ-Al₂O₃ and the presence of the transition metal ions enhanced their surface acidic properties. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts in the oxidation of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) was studied in the temperature range of 250-400℃. The catalytic activity and product selectivity were strongly dependent on the presence and the type of dopant ion. While Cu²⁺- and Cr³⁺-containing catalysts showed 100% conversion at 300℃ and 350℃, V³⁺-containing catalyst showed considerably lower conversion. Furthermore, while the major products of the reactions over γ-alumina were vinyl chloride (C₂H₃Cl) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) at all temperatures, Cu- and Cr-doped catalysts showed significantly stronger capability for deep oxidation to CO₂.

V2O5/TiO2催化剂中毒机理的试验研究

选择性催化还原(SCR)催化剂是SCR烟气脱硝技术的核心,是整个SCR系统脱硝效率和经济性的决定因素.本文工作的主要研究思路是以钒钛SCR催化剂为研究对象,研究了H2O和SO2,以及相同含量下K、Na、Ca、Pb的氧化物对钒钛催化剂NO转化率的影响.H2O的存在会抑制V2O5/TiO2催化剂脱硝活性,而SO2在一定程度上促进(V2O5/TiO2)催化剂的SCR脱硝反应,提高NO转化率;碱金属K对钒钛催化剂的钝化作用都是最强,K2O和Na2O的掺入会抑制钒钛催化剂上V2O5的还原能力,而CaO和PbO的掺入对钒钛催化剂上V2O5的还原能力影响较小.

V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂与活性炭混合降解气相二噁英

基于二噁英稳定发生装置,研究在低温条件下(160℃)V2O5-WO3/Ti O2催化剂与2种活性炭(煤基活性炭及椰基活性炭)的物理混合物对气相二噁英(毒性当量质量浓度为9.80 ng·m-3)催化降解作用.结果表明,在加入活性炭后,二噁英的脱除效率及降解效率都有一定提高(20%左右).与椰基混合物相比,虽然煤基混合物对二噁英的脱除效果较弱,但其降解效果更好.调整混合物的比例会造成二噁英脱除效率及降解效率的改变,总的来说,在提高催化剂的比例后,二噁英脱除效率略有下降,但降解效率会有较为明显的提升.当反应气氛中的氧体积分数为0%时,将严重影响催化剂活性,导致绝大部分二噁英被吸附在混合物中而无法被催化氧化,随着氧体积分数的提高,二噁英的降解效率将大幅提高.为了提高二噁英的降解效率,向反应系统引入200 mg·m-3的臭氧,实验结果表明在一定条件下臭氧可以提高二噁英的催化氧化效果,但同时会与混合物中的活性炭发生反应,影响混合物的使用寿命.引入臭氧后,当煤基混合物配比为1∶1,反应温度为200℃时,二噁英的脱除及降解效率达到最高,分别达到98.0%和94.8%,尾气中的二噁英的毒性当量质量浓度仅为0.51 ng·m-3.     

Catalytic liquid-phase oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid over a Pt/CeO2–ZrO2–SnO2/γ-alumina catalyst

Pt/CeO₂–ZrO₂–SnO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation and wet impregnation methods for catalytic oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid in water. In the present catalysts, Pt and CeO₂–ZrO₂–SnO₂ were successfully dispersed on the γ-Al₂O₃ support. Dependences of platinum content and reaction time on the selective oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid were investigated to optimize the reaction conditions for obtaining both high acetaldehyde conversion and highest selectivity to acetic acid. Among the catalysts, a Pt(6.4 wt.%)/Ce_0.68Zr_0.17Sn_0.15O_2.0(16 wt.%)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst showed the highest acetaldehyde oxidation activity.

Effects of synthesis methods on catalytic activities of CoOx–TiO2 for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NO

A series of cobalt doped TiO_2(Co-TiO_2) and Co Oxloaded TiO_2(Co/TiO_2) catalysts prepared by sol–gel and impregnation methods respectively were investigated on selective catalytic reduction with NH_3(NH_3-SCR) of NO. It was found that Co-TiO_2 catalyst showed more preferable catalytic activity at low temperature range. From characterization results of XRD,TEM, Raman and FT-IR, Co species were proved to be doped into TiO_2 lattice by replaced Ti atoms. After being characterized and analyzed by NH_3-TPD, PL, XPS, EPR and DRIFTS, it was found that the better NH_3-SCR activities of Co-TiO_2 catalysts, compared with Co/TiO_2 catalyst, were ascribed to the formation of more oxygen vacancies which further promoted the production of more superoxide ions(O-2). The superoxide ions were crucial for the formation of low temperature SCR reaction intermediates(NO-3) by reacting with adsorbed NO molecule. Therefore, these aspects were responsible for the higher low temperature NH_3-SCR activity of Co-TiO_2 catalysts.     

V2O5-WO3/TiO2系SCR催化剂的钾中毒及再生方法

以钾为代表的碱金属元素会引发严重的SCR催化剂中毒现象.通过浸渍法和干混法使催化剂钾中毒,比较不同K₂O负载量下催化剂脱硝活性的变化.结果表明,采用浸渍法使K₂O的负载量达到1%时,催化剂的最大脱硝效率由100%下降到30%左右;而干混法负载1% K₂O的催化剂样品的脱硝活性变化较小.对浸渍法负载1% K₂O的催化剂样品的再生试验表明,水洗可以使中毒后催化剂的脱硝活性由30%升至70%以上;而使用1%的H₂SO₄溶液酸洗,则可以使350～500 ℃催化剂的脱硝活性高于中毒前.通过扫描电镜和抗压强度的对比分析发现,中毒与再生前后催化剂的微观形貌和机械性能均未发生很大改变.      

V2O5/TiO2与MoO3/TiO2催化剂表面结构形貌及其对催化氧化碳烟活性的影响

为研究纳米级V₂O₅与MoO₃催化剂表面结构对其催化氧化碳烟活性的影响,以TiO₂为载体,采用等体积浸渍法制备了不同负载率(5%、10%、20%、40%)的V₂O₅/TiO₂与MoO₃/TiO₂催化剂,通过扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)对比研究了2种催化剂在TiO₂载体上的分散状态及物相结构.以Printex-U碳黑为试验用碳烟,采用热重分析仪对V₂O₅与MoO₃催化剂催化碳烟氧化的活性进行了比较.结果表明:V₂O₅与MoO₃在TiO₂载体上均存在一个单层分散饱和阈值,分别为V20(负载率为20%,下同)、Mo10,在该阈值前后活性组分在载体上分别以单层分散状态和明显的晶态存在.对于V₂O₅催化剂,其最佳催化活性出现在负载率接近单层分散饱和阈值时,与无催化状态相比,T_i(起燃温度)、T_p(最大失重率温度)以及T_f(燃尽温度)分别下降了69.1、46.0、23.0 ℃,有明显的阈值效应.而对于MoO₃催化剂,因其自身低熔点性而表现出良好的表面迁移能力,再加上α-MoO₃晶体特有的层状结构,使其可释放出更多的晶格氧,随着负载率的增加,该催化剂催化氧化碳烟活性持续增加,并且未观察到明显的阈值效应.研究显示,在相同负载率下,MoO₃催化剂催化氧化碳烟活性均高于V₂O₅催化剂.      

Ce掺杂低钒V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂脱除烟气元素汞的研究

制备了Ce掺杂的低矾V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂催化剂,在模拟燃煤烟气条件下开展Hg⁰的脱除实验.结果表明该催化剂具有很好的Hg⁰脱除能力,在200～500℃的温度范围内能脱除烟气中95%的Hg⁰.催化剂表征结果表明,比表面积、 孔容和孔径与汞脱除能力没有显著相关性.XPS的结果表明,催化剂表面的Ce是以Ce⁴⁺的形式存在,有利于Hg⁰的脱除反应.抗硫抗水实验表明,H₂O会轻微抑制Hg⁰的脱除反应,主要原因是H₂O和Hg⁰在样品表面的竞争吸附;SO₂会促进Hg⁰的脱除反应,原因是SO₂能增加样品表面的酸吸附位且增加表面Hg⁰的吸附量.
