Study on NH3-SCR performance and mechanism of Fe/Mn modified rare earth concentrate

Overview of mechanisms of Fe-based catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 at low temperature

With the increasingly stringent control of NOx emissions, NH3-SCR, one of the most effective de-NOx technologies for removing NOx, has been widely employed to eliminate NOx from automobile exhaust and industrial production. Researchers have favored iron-based catalysts for their low cost, high activity, and excellent de-NOx performance. This paper takes a new perspective to review the research progress of iron-based catalysts. The influence of the chemical form of single iron-based catalysts on their performance was investigated. In the section on composite iron-based catalysts, detailed reviews were conducted on the effects of synergistic interactions between iron and other elements on catalytic performance. Regarding loaded iron-based catalysts, the catalytic performance of iron-based catalysts on different carriers was systematically examined. In the section on iron-based catalysts with novel structures, the effects of the morphology and crystallinity of nanomaterials on catalytic performance were analyzed. Additionally, the reaction mechanism and poisoning mechanism of iron-based catalysts were elucidated. In conclusion, the paper delved into the prospects and future directions of iron-based catalysts, aiming to provide ideas for the development of iron-based catalysts with better application prospects. The comprehensive review underscores the significance of iron-based catalysts in the realm of de-NOx technologies, shedding light on their diverse forms and applications. The hope is that this paper will serve as a valuable resource, guiding future endeavors in the development of advanced iron-based catalysts.

Effective reduction of nitric oxide over a core-shell Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR zeolite catalyst

In this study, a core-shell catalyst of Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR was successfully prepared through a silica-sol adhesion method, and its performance for selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by NH₃ (NH₃-SCR) was evaluated in detail. The Fe-MOR coating has not only increased the high-temperature activity and broadened the reaction temperature window of Cu-SAPO-34 to a large extent, but also increased the hydrothermal stability of Cu-SAPO-34 markedly. It is demonstrated that a strong synergistic interaction effect exists between Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions and promotes the redox cycle and oxidation-reduction ability of copper ions, which greatly accelerates the catalytic performance of the core-shell Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR catalyst. Abundant isolated Cu²⁺ ions and Fe³⁺ ions on the ion exchange sites performing NO _x reduction at low and high temperature region lead to the broad reaction temperature window of Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR. In addition, more weakly adsorbed NO _x species formed and the increased number of Lewis acid sites may also contribute to the higher catalytic performance of Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR. On the other hand, the better hydrothermal ageing stability of Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR is related to its lighter structural collapse, fewer acidic sites lost, more active components (Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺) maintained, and more monodentate nitrate species formed in the core-shell catalyst after hydrothermal ageing. Last, the mechanism study has found that both Langmuir-Hinshelwood ("L-H") and Eley-Rideal ("E-R") mechanisms play an essential role in the catalytic process of Cu-SAPO-34@Fe-MOR, and constitute another reason for its higher activity compared with that of Cu-SAPO-34 (only "L-H" mechanism).

Tailor the crystal planes of MIL-101(Fe) derivatives to enhance the activity of SCR reaction at medium and low temperature

Mainly exposed crystal facets and controllable morphology play a key role in the final performance of the preparation of specific nanomaterials. In the present study, a metal-organic framework pyrolysis method without adding solvent modifiers was developed. By adding CO in the calcination atmosphere to change atmosphere ratio, Fe₃O₄ nanostructures are exposed with different crystal planes and evaluated their performance in NH₃-SCR reaction. This study proves that SCR catalytic activity of Fe₃O₄ nanocrystals is dependent on morphology and crystal facet. Compared with materials exposed (100), catalysts with more (111) show stronger deNO_x performance. The preferential exposure of Fe₃O₄ (111) crystal facets increases the concentration of adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst, showing higher surface acidity, and enhances the interaction among NO, O₂ and catalyst, which is conducive to SCR reaction. This is supported by DFT calculations. The results present a great application prospect in preparing nanomaterials with specific crystal structures to effectively treat pollutants.
