Abstract
In non-ferrous metal smelting, the problem of gaseous arsenic in high-sulfur flue gas is difficult to solve. Now we have developed oxygen-enriched amorphous iron manganese oxide (AFMBO) based on the unique superiority of iron-manganese oxide for arsenic capture to realize the effective control of gaseous arsenic in the non-ferrous smelting flue gas. The experimental results show that the arsenic adsorption capacity of AFMBO is up to 102.7 mg/g, which has surpassed most of the current adsorbents. In particular, AFMBO can effectively capture gaseous arsenic even at 12% v/v SO2 concentrations (88.45 mg/g). Moreover, the spent AFMBO possesses pronounced magnetic characteristics that make it easier to separate from dust, which is conducive to reducing the secondary environmental risk of arsenic. In terms of mechanism study, various characterization methods are used to explain the important role of lattice oxygen and adsorbed oxygen in the capture process of gaseous arsenic. Moreover, the reason for the efficient arsenic removal performance of AFMBO is also reasonably explained at the microscopic level. This study provides ideas and implications for gaseous arsenic pollution control research.

Abstract
As we know, SO2 can cause MnOx-CeO2 (MnCeOx) catalyst poisoning, which seriously shortens the service life of the catalyst. Therefore, to enhance the catalytic activity and SO2 tolerance of MnCeOx catalyst, we modified it by Nb5+ and Fe3+ co-doping. And the physical and chemical properties were characterized. These results illustrate that the Nb5+ and Fe3+ co-doping can optimally improve the denitration activity and N2 selectivity of MnCeOx catalyst at low temperature by improving its surface acidity, surface adsorbed oxygen as well as electronic interaction. What's more, NbOx-FeOx-MnOx-CeO2 (NbFeMnCeOx) catalyst possesses an excellent SO2 resistance due to less SO2 being adsorbed and the ammonium bisulfate (ABS) formed on its surface tends to decompose, as well as fewer sulfate species formed on its surface. Finally, the possible mechanism that Nb5+ and Fe3+ co-doping enhances the SO2 poisoning resistance of MnCeOx catalyst is proposed.

Abstract
Herein, a core-shell structure SiO2@Mn catalyst was successfully synthesized from manganese tailings for NO removal through selective catalytic reduction with ammonia at low temperature. In the presence of 10 % H2O and 100 ppm SO2, the SiO2@Mn catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity of 85 % NO conversion at 225 °C. This special core-shell was constructed by inert nano-SiO2 particles, which grew and encapsulated on the surface of manganese oxide, inhibiting the reaction between SO2 with MnOx and thus improving the SO2 resistance. Furthermore, a filter residue was generated in the process of catalysts preparation. Under proper hydrothermal conditions, the residue comprising of Si, Al, and O was used to synthesize high-crystallinity X-type zeolite. This process fully utilized manganese tailings and inspired for Mn-based catalysts design and X-type zeolite preparation, realizing the dual benefits of atmosphere purification and solid waste disposal.

Abstract
α-MnO2 was in-situ supported onto silica coated magnetite nanoparticles (MagS-Mn) to study the adsorption and oxidation of Hg0 as well as the effecting patterns of SO2 and O2 on Hg0 removal. MagS-Mn showed Hg0 removal capacity of 1122.6 μg/g at 150 °C with the presence of SO2. Hg0 adsorption and oxidation efficiencies were 2.4% and 90.6%, respectively. Hg0 removal capability deteriorated at elevated temperatures. Surface oxygen and manganese chemistry analysis indicated that SO2 inhibited the Hg0 removal through consumption of adsorbed oxygen and reduction of high valence manganese. This inhibiting effect was observed to be counteracted by O2 at lower temperatures. O2 tended to compete with SO2 for active sites and further create additional adsorbed oxygen sites for Hg0 surface reaction via surface dissociative adsorption rather than replenish the active sites consumed by SO2. The high valence manganese was also preserved by O2 which was essential to Hg0 oxidation. The intervention of O2 in the inhibition of SO2 on Hg0 removal was weakened at temperatures higher than 250 °C. Aa a result, Hg0 tends to be catalytic oxidized in the condition of low reaction temperatures and with the presence of O2 over α-MnO2 oriented composites.

Abstract
In this work, a novel co-precipitation coupled solvothermal procedure is proposed to prepare a SmMnOx catalyst (SmMnOx-CP + ST) with a reed flower-like structure for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3 (NH3-SCR). Over 90% NOx conversion and N2 selectivity was achieved at a low temperature range (25-200 °C), and 96% NOx conversion was achieved in the presence of 100 ppm SO2 at 75 °C. While the NH3-SCR of the SmMnOx catalysts prepared by co-precipitation (SmMnOx-CP) and solvothermal (SmMnOx-ST) methods performed much poorer than the SmMnOx-CP + ST catalyst. All catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, XPS, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, NOx-TPD, and FT-IR. The results revealed that the superior performance of the SmMnOx-CP + ST is due to the unique reed flower-like structure morphology, which endows the SmMnOx-CP + ST with the largest surface area, the strongest synergistic reaction of Sm and Mn, abundant surface oxygen species and surface active sites, and significantly enhances the redox ability. Furthermore, the amorphous reed flower-like structure showed strong short-range ordered interaction between the active components and weaken the formation of sulfates species. In addition, the highest content of Mn4+ and Mn3++Mn4+ greatly promotes the redox cycles of Sm2+↔Mn4+ and Sm2+↔Mn3+, and suppresses the production of sulfate species in the presence of SO2.

Abstract
The possible effect of optimized acid sites on NH3-SCR performance and the fundamental mechanism are barely illustrated. In this work, we report two model catalysts of hexagonal (h-CPO) and monoclinic (m-CPO) cerium phosphate with disparate acidity that show different NH3-SCR activities under the same reaction conditions. Brønsted acid sites were found to be crucial for NH3-SCR performance at both low and high temperature. The electron localization discrepancy of h-CPO was more pronounced as compared with m-CPO, leading to the enrichment of P-OH (Brønsted acid site) which could strongly absorb NH3 and then generate NH4+ to participate in fast SCR via Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, resulting in good activity at low temperature. The zeolitic water stored in the open channels of h-CPO could be released as supplement for P-OH sites which prevent the depletion and non-selective oxidation of NH3 thus maintaining its high activity at high temperature via the Eley-Rideal mechanism. Meanwhile, as DFT calculation revealed, cerium is the electron deficient center which can easily fix NO and NO2 from the intake, generating active NO2(ad) or nitrites and facilitating fast SCR by reacting with NH4+ species. Hence, the superior protonation ability to form P-OH and low energy barrier to generate active nitrites of h-CPO led its T80 NOx conversion to a broaden temperature of 150-450 oC under high GHSV of 177,000 h-1. Furthermore, experimental and DFT calculation also demonstrated that the enriched Brønsted acid sites over h-CPO have largely suppressed SO2 adsorption, thus significantly reducing the formation of metal sulfates and achieving great SO2 resistance. The ammonium sulfate deposits can be storage of NH3, supplying additional reductant to promote high temperature activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Adsorption is a superior method for removing and recycling high concentration of mercury from nonferrous metal smelting flue gas, especially adsorbents with good sulfur resistance and large adsorption capacity. In this study, Co and Mn oxide-modified layered ITQ-2 zeolites were designed to capture and recycle elemental mercury (Hg0). The physicochemical characteristics of the adsorbents were characterized using BET, XRD, FESEM, TEM, and XPS, and the results showed that Mn/ITQ-2 zeolite has a large specific surface area, and MnOx was highly dispersed on ITQ-2 zeolite. The Hg0 removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of the 5%Mn/ITQ-2 zeolite at 300 °C were 97% and 2.04 mg/g in 600 min, respectively, much higher than those of the previously reported 5%Mn/MCM-22 zeolite. The 2%Co-2%Mn/ITQ-2 zeolite exhibited a higher SO2 resistance performance. The mechanism of Hg0 removal was concluded to be driven by the primary catalytic oxidation of MnOx, secondary oxidation of active chlorine, and concurrent chemisorption. However, the Hg0 adsorption capacity was determined by the specific surface area and pore structure of ITQ-2. The 2%Co-2%Mn/ITQ-2 zeolite exhibited a high SO2 resistance performance. The Mn/ITQ-2 and Co-Mn/ITQ-2 zeolites have excellent regenerability and reusability, which can realize mercury recycling from flue gas.

Abstract
Improving the SO2 resistance of catalysts is crucial to driving commercial applications of Mn-based catalysts. In this work, the phosphotungstic acid (HPW) modification strategy was applied to improve the N2 selectivity, SO2 and H2O resistance of the Mn-Ce-Co catalyst, and further, the mechanism of HWP modification on enhanced catalytic performance was explored. The results showed that HPW-Mn-Ce-Co catalyst exhibits higher NOx conversion (~100% at 100-250 °C) and N2 selectivity (exceed 80% at 50-350 °C) due to more oxygen vacancies, greater surface acidity, and lower redox capacity. In situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS) reveal that HPW changed the reaction path of Mn-Ce-Co catalysts, promoted the adsorption and activation of NH3, and reduced the effect of SO2 on the active bidentate nitrate species, and thereby exhibiting good SO2 resistance. X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and NH3 temperature-programmed desorption of (NH3-TPD) results show that HPW can inhibit the formation of metal sulfate, and SO2 can be combined with Ce species more easily. The generated Ce2(SO3)3 can not only protect Mn species but also increase the acid sites and weaken the poisoning effect of metal sulfate. This study provides a simple design strategy for the catalyst to improve the low-temperature catalytic performance and toxicity resistance.

Abstract
A novel MnOx@Eu-CeOx catalyst with multiple protective attributes was designed and fabricated using a chemical precipitation method and tested for its low temperature SCR activity. The subject MnOx@Eu-CeOx nanorod catalyst exhibited superior SCR performance and strong SO2-tolerance. The formation of the composite-shell structure enhanced the catalysts' surface acidity and redox performance, which resulted in excellent SCR performance. Moreover, the TG results suggested that the protective effect of the EuOx-CeOx composite-shell effectively reduced the deposition of the surface sulphates. The XPS, XRD analysis results of the subject catalyst together with theoretical calculations provided strong evidence that there was a strong interaction between Mn and Ce in the MnOx@Eu-CeOx. This significant interaction could provide maximum protection to the core from the effect of SO2, which also contributed to the high SO2 resistance of the catalyst. In situ FT-IR results also indicated that the chemisorbed species on MnOx@Eu-CeOx were much more stable in the presence of SO2 compared to Eu-CeOx/MnOx, which resulted in the deposition of significantly less sulphates. This low temperature SCR catalyst with multiple protective attributes, including composite shell, strong interaction and core-shell structure, is the key to long-term resistance to SO2.

Abstract
Chalcogen-based materials have been confirmed to possess large adsorption capacities for gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) from SO2-containing flue gas. However, the interface reaction mechanisms and the interfacial stability are still ambiguous. Here, we selected some commonly used chalcogen-based sorbents (e.g., X, ZnX, CuX. X = S, Se) to investigate the in-depth reaction mechanisms. The adsorption capacities, structure effect on thermal and surface mercury stability, and interfacial reaction mechanism in the absence/presence of SO2 were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that Cu-chalcogenide had higher Hg0 adsorption capacity and surface Hg-X bonding stability compared with zinc one, while they exhibited an opposite degree of thermal stability. Moreover, all the chalcogenides showed well SO2 tolerance but with a slight difference. Chalcogenides with the same crystal structures, like ZnX or CuX, exhibited similar properties in stability and interfacial Hg0 and SO2 reaction mechanism. X- in chalcogenides have a better affinity to mercury, while in the Hg0 capture process, the existence of multivalent metal elements (like Cu2+ and Cu+) can faster the Hg0 oxidation for the further chemical-adsorption. This work provides a basic understanding of the application for efficiently enriching and recycling gaseous Hg0 from industrial SO2-containing flue gas.

Abstract
A series of Fe-V-Ti oxide catalysts were prepared by a co-precipitation method, among which the Fe0.1V0.1TiOx catalyst showed the optimal NH3-SCR performance and excellent SO2 resistance. Fe0.1V0.1TiOx achieved > 90% NOx conversion at 225-450 °C under a GHSV of 200,000 h-1. When introducing SO2 and H2O to the SCR reaction for 24 h, the NOx conversion maintained a level above 93% at 250 °C. The Raman and Mössbauer spectra showed that FeVO4 and Fe2O3 coexisted on the surface of TiO2. In Fe-V-Ti catalysts, the charge interaction between Fe2O3 and FeVO4 as well as the electronic inductive effect between Fe and V species resulted in the improvement of SCR activity and N2 selectivity at high temperatures. The NH3-SCR process on the Fe0.1V0.1TiOx catalyst mainly followed the Eley-Rideal (E-R) reaction mechanism with gaseous NO reacting with adsorbed NH3 adsorbed species.

Abstract
In this paper, a series of Sb modified CeZr2Ox mixed oxides (SbyCZ) were synthesized by citrate method for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia (NH3-SCR). Experimental results exhibited that the Sb addition could bring a great improvement of SCR activity at 200-360 °C owing to the enhancement in surface area, redox ability and surface acidity. More importantly, the sulfur tolerance of the catalyst with proper Sb loading contents was dramatically improved. For instance, above 85% deNOx efficiency was retained over Sb0.5CZ catalyst after 24 h reaction in the presence of 100 ppm SO2 and 5 vol.% H2O. As for pure CeZr2Ox and the catalysts with low Sb loading contents, the serious accumulation of ammonium sulfates resulted in the deactivation after SO2 exposure. However, with excessive Sb addition, more labile oxygen readily reacted with SO2 and the redox cycle was then disrupted, leading to the decrease of SCR activity. With an appropriate Sb loading contents, the sulfate species preferentially formed around Sb cations could restrain the further consumption of oxygen species in Ce-O-Ce or Ce-O-Zr mode by SO2 via a space confinement effect. Thus, a certain amount of labile oxygen was preserved to drive the SCR reaction, thereby enhancing the sulfur tolerance of the catalyst.

Abstract
The CeO2@TiO2 core-shell nanostructure catalyst prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method was used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 in this study. The catalyst presented the obvious core-shell structure, and the shell was amorphous TiO2 which could protect the active center from the SO2 erosion. The catalyst showed high activity and stability, excellent N2 selectivity and superior SO2 resistance and H2O tolerance. Characterizations such as TEM, HR-TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, NH3-TPD, and H2-TPR were carried out. The results indicated that the catalyst had large surface area and the active sites were well dispersed on the surface. The NH3-TPD, H2-TPR and XPS results implied that its increased SCR activity might be due to the enhancement of NH3 chemisorption and the increase of active oxygen species, both of which were conductive to NH3 activation. The excellent catalytic performance suggests that it is a promising candidate for SCR catalyst.
