Abstract

Heavy metals have a great influence on the deNOx efficiency of catalysts. The 3Mn10Fe/Ni catalyst that used nickel foam (Ni) as the carrier, Mn and Fe as the active components, and Co as a trace auxiliary was prepared using an impregnation method. The catalysts poisoned by Pb or Zn and Co-modified catalysts with Pb or Zn poisoning were studied. The addition of Pb or Zn significantly decreases the deNOx activity of the 3Mn10Fe/Ni catalyst due to the decrease in the content of high-valence metal elements such as Fe3+ and Mn4+, lattice oxygen concentration, reduction performance, acidity, and the number of acid sites. However, after Co modification, the deNOx activity of the poisoned catalysts can be improved effectively because the strong interaction between Pb or Zn and lattice oxygen is weakened, and the contents of lattice oxygen, high valence metal elements, reduction ability, and the number of acid sites increase.
