Abstract

The results of investigation of catalysts based on natural zeolite in comparison with synthetic ZSM-5 zeolite used in reduction of nitrogen oxides and conversion of carbon monoxide are presented. It was found that rearrangement of the crystal structure of natural zeolite begins upon heating it above 500 °C in air. The structure of natural zeolite has been improved by introduction of various modifiers and selection of thermal regime of samples training. It has been shown that developed compositions of press-mass for preparation of carriers for gas purification catalysts in the form of granules and tablets satisfy the requirements on ductility and mechanical strength. The efficiency of synthesized granular and block Cu–Ce, Cu–Ni–Cr, Ti–V, Ti–VW, and TiO2–V2O5 catalysts based on natural and synthetic zeolites was determined in conversion of CO and nitrogen oxides. The results of X-ray structure analysis of clinoptilolite of the Republic of Kazakhstan deposits—Chankanai and Taizhuzgen—are represented in comparison with synthetic ZSM-5 zeolite. The paper also comprises data about their thermal stability, ductility, and strength of compositions on their base. Metals particles morphology and dispersity are studied by the method of electronic microscopy. These particles were used as active components of synthesized catalysts.
