Abstract:
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NH
3 catalyst is mainly used in industrial production and automobile exhaust cleaning. In this study, a novel α%Fe
2O
3/ZrTiO
4 (α=0, 8, 12, 15) catalyst was prepared by the coprecipitation impregnation method. The results show that the NO
x conversion rate of 12%Fe
2O
3/ZrTiO
4 catalyst with the optimal composition is high above 80% at 250−400 °C, close to 100% at 300 °C, and N
2 selectivity is high above 90% at 200−450 °C. The redox properties, surface acidity, and O
β/(O
α + O
β) ratio of ZrTiO
4 catalysts are improved after loading Fe
2O
3 on the ZrTiO
4 surface, which is attributed not only to the porous structure of α%Fe
2O
3/ZrTiO
4 catalyst but also to the synergistic interaction between the active component Fe
2O
3 and the support ZrTiO
4. In addition,
in-situ DRIFT reactions show that the NH
3-SCR reaction of 12%Fe
2O
3/ZrTiO
4 catalyst follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism. A clear reaction mechanism is conducive to a deeper understanding of the reaction process of NO
x conversion during SCR. This work provides a feasible strategy for Fe-based SCR catalysts to replace V-based catalysts in the medium temperature range in the future.
