| Abstract: | ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of adding vanadium (V) to natural manganese oxide (NMO) in ammonia (NH3) selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The addition of V to NMO decreased the catalytic activity at low temperatures by blocking the active site. However, the enhancement of catalytic activity was achieved by controlling NH3 oxidation at high temperatures. From the NH3 temperature programmed desorption and oxygen on/off test, it was confirmed that the amount of Lewis acid site and active lattice oxygen of the catalyst affects the catalytic performance at low temperature IMPLICATIONS Recently, NMO and manganese oxide have been reported as SCR catalysts. They usually have only reported the reaction characteristics and catalytic activity on the NH3 SCR over NMO or manganese/metal oxide catalysts. There are no studies about the effect of addition of V to NMO. Therefore, this study investigates the catalytic activity and reaction characteristics on the NH3 SCR over NMO and V/NMO, and a new application is proposed based on the conclusions of this study. |
