Abstract

The decomposition of nitrous oxide on several Co- and Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts was studied in the absence and presence of excess oxygen. Also, the effect of methane addition, as well as catalyst steaming in dry and wet feeds is reported. N2O decomposition with no oxygen in the feed was proportional to metal loading on both catalysts. Co-ZSM-5 was much more resistant than Cu-ZSM-5 in excess oxygen. The tolerance of Co-ZSM-5 catalysts to excessive amounts of oxygen is high when Co2+ is stabilized in the zeolite framework and depends on the catalyst method of preparation. The presence of methane with no oxygen in the feed enhanced N2O decomposition while the addition of both methane and oxygen to the feed decreased N2O conversion on all catalysts tested. Co2+ ions stabilized by ZSM-5 framework have high hydrothermal stability in comparison to Cu2+ -exchanged ZSM-5.
