reduction (SCR) technique that converts
NOx from the outlet of industrial boilers
at low temperature (<200 °C) requires catalysts that possess
both the oxidization property of NOx and
the adsorption ability to NH3. However, owing to unsuitable
redox capacity, most NH3-SCR catalysts such as MnO2/TiO2 and MnO2–CeO2/TiO2 suffer from poor activity and N2 selectivity
and SO2 poisoning. Benefiting from constructing mesoporous
MnCeSmTiOx amorphous mixed oxides by the
coprecipitation method, enhanced SO2-tolerant low-temperature
NH3-SCR performance was achieved. The MnCeSmTiOx catalysts have an amorphous and mesoporous structure
with a BET surface area of 214 m2·g–1. The NO conversion could reach nearly 100% at 140–320 °C
and maintain >90% at 400 °C and a gas hourly space velocity
of
80,000 h–1. The selectivity of N2 could
be maintained at ≈100% at 100–320 °C and stay at
>90% up to 400 °C. Besides, the MnCeSmTiOx catalyst preserves higher catalytic performance after introducing
H2O and SO2 compared with the catalysts without
adding Sm. The redox properties, acidic properties, and reaction intermediates
of catalysts were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, hydrogen
temperature-programmed reduction, ammonia temperature-programmed desorption,
oxygen temperature-programmed desorption, pyridine-IR, thermogravimetry–differential
scanning calorimetry, and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform.
The synergistic effect of the Lewis acid sites and oxidation catalytic
sites of mixed oxides serves for the conversion of NO to N2 by following the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Doping Sm
into MnCeSmTiOx can increase oxygen vacancies
and transfer electrons to Mn4+ and Ce4+, which
facilities the formation of active adsorbed NO2, bidentate
nitrate, and bridging nitrate intermediates and suppresses SO2 poisoning by inhibiting the oxidation of SO2 by
Mn4+ and Ce4+. Our work could be beneficial
to modulate the redox capacity of active sites on NH3-SCR
catalysts so that NOx can be eliminated
in complex flue gas at low temperatures.
