Abstract

A series of highly dispersed Nia-xMnxAlOy catalysts derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH3-SCR) at low temperature. The physicochemical and catalytic performance of the prepared catalysts with different M2+/M3+molar ratios were systematically investigated by XRD, BET, XPS, TPX (i.e. TPD and TPR) and in situ DRIFTs. Fortunately, Ni4-xMnxAlOy as the optimal catalyst exhibited prominent NH3-SCR performance with NOx conversion greater than 90% at low temperature range of 120~210 °C. Especially, the influence of H2O and SO2 revealed that the catalyst activity could be miraculously promoted by H2O, while deactivated by SO2. The proper M2+/M3+molar ratios not only provided the surface acidic sites, the high Mn4+ content ratio and the adsorbed oxygen of Nia-xMnxAlOy catalysts, but also promoted the transformation of NOx intermediate species to more stable bidentate nitrates. Results of the in situ DRIFTs illustrated that the SCR reaction path of Nia-xMnxAlOy catalysts followed both E-R and L-H mechanisms, and the former played the dominant role.
