Activated carbon-supported iron-based catalysts (FexOy/AC) show excellent deNOx efficiency. However, the specific adsorption mechanisms of NH3, NO, and O2 molecules on their surfaces are still unknown. In this study, the...

The Fe/(SZr) and S(Fe/Zr) sulfated iron-based catalysts, prepared by impregnation methods through changing the loading order of Fe2O3 and SO42− on ZrO2, were investigated on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by ammonia. It was studied that the existent forms of Fe2O3 and SO42− on the surface of catalysts were affected by the loading order. The Fe/(SZr) catalyst surface had isolated Fe2O3 and SO42− species and followed both the L-H mechanism and the E-R mechanism, whereas the S(Fe/Zr) catalyst contained SO42− specie and sulfate only and mainly followed the E-R pathway. These factors affected the redox ability and NH3 adsorption, which might be key to the SCR reaction.

AbstractThe adsorption of organic micropollutants onto activated carbon is a favourable solution for the treatment of drinking water and wastewater. However, these adsorption processes are not sufficiently understood to allow for the appropriate prediction of removal processes. In this study, thermogravimetric analysis, alongside evolved gas analysis, is proposed for the characterisation of micropollutants adsorbed on activated carbon. Varying amounts of carbamazepine were adsorbed onto three different activated carbons, which were subsequently dried, and their thermal decomposition mechanisms examined. The discovery of 55 different pyrolysis products allowed differentiations to be made between specific adsorption sites and conditions. However, the same adsorption mechanisms were found for all samples, which were enhanced by inorganic constituents and oxygen containing surface groups. Furthermore, increasing the loadings led to the evolution of more hydrated decomposition products, whilst parts of the carbamazepine molecules were also integrated into the carbon structure. It was also found that the chemical composition, especially the degree of dehydration of the activated carbon, plays an important role in the adsorption of carbamazepine. Hence, it is thought that the adsorption sites may have a higher adsorption energy for specific adsorbates, when the activated carbon can then potentially increase its degree of graphitisation.

In this study, conversion of xylose to furfural was studied using lignin-based activated carbon-supported iron catalysts. First, three activated carbon supports were prepared from hydrolysis lignin with different activation methods. The supports were modified with different metal precursors and metal concentrations into five iron catalysts. The prepared catalysts were studied in furfural production from xylose using different reaction temperatures and times. The best results were achieved with a 4 wt% iron-containing catalyst, 5Fe-ACs, which produced a 57% furfural yield, 92% xylose conversion and 65% reaction selectivity at 170 °C in 3 h. The amount of Fe in 5Fe-ACs was only 3.6 µmol and using this amount of homogeneous FeCl3 as a catalyst, reduced the furfural yield, xylose conversion and selectivity. Good catalytic activity of 5Fe-ACs could be associated with iron oxide and hydroxyl groups on the catalyst surface. Based on the recycling experiments, the prepared catalyst needs some improvements to increase its stability but it is a feasible alternative to homogeneous FeCl3.
