Fe2O3 particles as superior catalysts for low temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Fe203 particle catalysts were experimentally studied in the low temperature selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of NO with NH3. The effects of reaction temperature, oxygen concentration, [NH3]/[NO] molar ratio and residence time on SCR activity were studied. It was found that Fe203 catalysts had high activity for the SCR of NO with NH3 in a broad temperature range of 150-270℃, and more than 95% NO conversion was obtained at 180℃ when the molar ratio [NH3]/[NO] = 1, the residence time was 0.48 seconds and 02 volume fraction was 3%. In addition, the effect of SO2 on SCR catalytic activity was also investigated at the temperature of 180℃. The results showed that deactivation of the Fe2O3 particles occurred due to the presence of SO2 and the NO conversion decreased from 99.2% to 58% in 240 min, since SO2 gradually decreased the catalytic activity of the catalysts. In addition, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh and deactivated Fe2O3 catalysts. The results showed that the deactivation caused by SO2 was due to the formation of metal sulfates and ammonium sulfates on the catalyst surface during the de-NO reaction, which could cause pore plugging and result in suppression of the catalytic activity.     

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.     

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.     

Oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury in a high voltage discharge reactor

Effects of the voltage waveform, discharge tooth wheel number and CO2/NO/SO2 concentration in the simulated flue gas on Hg0 oxidation were investigated using a link tooth wheel-cylinder reactor energized by di erent high voltage power supplies. Negative DC discharge induced more ozone production and a higher Hg0 oxidation e ciency than positive DC discharge and 12 kHz AC discharge. The discharge tooth wheel number had almost no e ect on the maximum Hg0 oxidation e ciency. The allowable supplied voltage decreased with the increase of discharge tooth wheel number. CO2 could stabilize the discharge process and increase the maximum voltage for a stable discharge. It has also been found that NO consumed O3 induced by high voltage discharge, thereby decreased Hg0 oxidation e ciency; while SO2 had a slight promoting e ect on Hg0 oxidation.     

Experimental study of NO2 reduction in N2/Ar and O2/Ar mixtures by pulsed corona discharge

Non-thermal plasma technology has been regarded as a promising alternative technology for NOx removal. The understanding of NO2 reduction characteristics is extremely important since NO2 reduction could lower the total NO oxidation rate in the plasma atmosphere. In this study, NO2 reduction was experimentally investigated using a non-thermal plasma reactor driven by a pulsed power supply for different simulated gas compositions and operating parameters. The NO2 reduction was promoted by increasing the specific energy density （SED）, and the highest conversion rates were 33.7%, 42.1% and 25.7% for Ar, N2/Ar and O2/Ar, respectively. For a given SED, the NO2 conversion rate had the order N2/Ar 〉 Ar 〉 02/Ar. The highest energy yield of 3.31 g/kWh was obtained in N2/Ar plasma and decreased with increasing SED; the same trends were also found in the other two gas compositions. The conversion rate decreased with increasing initial NO2 concentration. Furthermore, the presence of N2 or O2 led to different reaction pathways for NO2 conversion due to the formation of different dominating reactive radicals.

采用多针-板式电极,在70 m³/h烟气流量范围内,研究了水蒸气浓度、烟气流量、电场强度等因素对不饱和水蒸气正直流电晕放电烟气脱硫率的影响以及水蒸气电晕放电对脉冲放电烟气脱硫率的提高.研究结果表明,实验范围内,按照NH₃∶SO₂摩尔比为2∶1添加NH3的条件下,增加水蒸气流量、增强电场强度、减少烟气流量,烟气脱硫率能提高10%,达到60%左右.同时,水蒸气电晕放电能使脉冲放电的烟气脱硫率提高5%左右,达到90%以上.     

气相组分对非热等离子体氧化气相元素汞的影响

采用线串齿轮-管式正极性流光放电反应器产生非热等离子体,考察了放电等离子体参与下烟气中各组分对元素汞氧化的影响.结果表明, CO2的加入和高浓度的NO导致作用于汞的活性粒子减少,从而阻碍元素汞的氧化.在等离子体作用下,部分CO2会与活性粒子作用而转化为CO.加入NO浓度为670mg/m3,电压升高到9.5kV时,仅有37%的元素汞被氧化. SO2的加入能促进元素汞的氧化,而且伴随SO2的氧化和白色HgSO4和Hg2SO4的生成,电压升高到10kV时,反应器出口基本检测不到元素汞. H2O和HCI也具有促进元素汞氧化的作用,这可能是因为氧化性· OH形成得到促进和反应气氛中存在C1-离子.部分元素汞和氧化态汞在荷电后会被等离子体反应器捕集,因此等离子体作用后,气相总汞浓度显著降低.     

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.     

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.

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%.

Effect of Ce doping of TiO2 support on NH3-SCR activity over V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalyst

CeO2–TiO2composite supports with different Ce/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method, and V2O5–WO3/CeO2–TiO2catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NOx with NH3 were prepared by an incipient-wetness impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized by means of BET, XRD, UV–Vis,Raman and XPS techniques. The results showed that the catalytic activity of V2O5–WO3/TiO2 was greatly enhanced by Ce doping（molar ratio of Ce/Ti = 1/10） in the TiO2 support.The catalysts that were predominantly anatase TiO2 showed better catalytic performance than the catalysts that were predominantly fluorite CeO2. The Ce additive could enhance the surface adsorbed oxygen and accelerate the SCR reaction. The effects of O2 concentration, ratio of NH3/NO, space velocity and SO2 on the catalytic activity were also investigated. The presence of oxygen played an important role in NO reduction. The optimal ratio of NH3/NO was 1/1 and the catalyst had good resistance to SO2 poisoning.     

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.     

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.     

Mo-modified Pd/Al2O3 catalysts for benzene catalytic combustion

Mo-modified Pd/Al2O3catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method and tested for the catalytic combustion of benzene. The catalysts were characterized by N2 isothermal adsorption, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）, temperatureprogrammed desorption of NH3（NH3-TPD）, H2temperature-programmed reduction（H2-TPR）, and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy（HAADF-STEM）. The results showed that the addition of Mo effectively improved the activity and stability of the Pd/Al2O3catalyst by increasing the dispersion of Pd active components, changing the partial oxidation state of palladium and increasing the oxygen species concentration on the surface of catalyst. In the case of the Pd-Mo/Al2O3catalyst,benzene conversion of 90% was obtained at temperatures as low as 190°C, which was 45°C lower than that for similar performance with the Pd/Al2O3catalyst. Moreover, the 1.0% Pd-5% Mo/Al2O3catalyst was more active than the 2.0% Pd/Al2O3catalyst. It was concluded that Pd and Mo have a synergistic effect in benzene catalytic combustion.     

烟气条件对直流电晕自由基簇射NO氧化过程的影响

运用以湿空气为自由基源物质的直流电晕自由基簇射系统,研究了烟气在反应器内的滞留时间、烟气流速和NO浓度对NO氧化过程的影响.结果表明:烟气流速的增加会抑制电晕放电的发展,而烟气中NO浓度的增加则使放电变得更加容易.NO的氧化受烟气在反应器内滞留时间的影响较小,而它受烟气流速的影响较大.在2W的输入功率下,当烟气在反应器内的滞留时间从8.5s增加到34.2s时,NO的氧化率只从54.5 %提高到57.6 %.而在1.7W·h/m³的能量密度下,当烟气流速从1.4cm/s增加到6.3cm/s时,NO的氧化率从60.0%减少到38.6%,能量利用率也从20.8g/(kW·h)下降到了13.3g/(kW·h).在湿空气流量一定的情况下,NO初始浓度存在一个最佳值,本实验中最佳的NO浓度为100×10^-6左右.

Size effect of Pt nanoparticles in acid-assisted soot oxidation in the presence of NO

Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts with mean Pt particle size ranged from 2.7 to 7.1 nm were synthesized by chemical reduction method, and the sulfated counterparts were prepared by impregnation of sulfuric acid. The turnover frequency of platinum for soot oxidation under loose contact conditions in a feed flow containing NO and O₂ are positively correlated with the size of platinum. The sulfated Pt/Al₂O₃ exhibits higher catalytic activity for soot oxidation in the presence of NO despite their reduced ability for NO₂ production. Such a contradiction is more significant for those catalysts with smaller platinum particles. Herein, the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductive coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry, CO chemisorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), NO temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) and NO_x temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Possible effect of Pt particle size for the catalytic oxidation of soot in the presence of NO was presented based primarily on the promoted NO₂ transfer efficiency onto the soot pushed by the acidic catalysts.
