Abstract
An infrared spectroscopic study has been made over mordenite-type zeolite catalysts prepared by the ion exchanging method to observe a surface species during the selective reduction of NO by hydrocarbons with and without H2O. The strong absorptions at 2,274 and 2,325 cm-1 were observed over HM and CuHM as well as over CuNZA catalysts, respectively after the reaction without H2O, regardless of the types of reductant employed. It may be attributed to the isocyanate (-NCO) species formed on the catalyst surface which may be one of the most probable reaction intermediates for this reaction system. When H2O was added to the feed gas stream, its formation on the synthetic mordenite catalysts such as HM and CuHM was significantly suppressed, but not for CuNZA catalyst It agrees well with the fact that CuNZA catalyst exhibits a strong water tolerance for this reaction system. It also reveals that the formation of the -NCO species on the catalyst surface plays a crucial role for the maintenance of NO removal activity when H2O exists in the feed gas stream.
