Titanate nanotubes (TNTs) synthesized by hydrothermal method were increasingly used as the catalyst support for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia. This paper reports the critical process of postwashing to prepare satisfactory TNTs for the uses of SCR catalysts. Herein, alkaline TNTs (TNTs-AL), acidic TNTs (TNTs-AC), and neutral TNTs (TNTs-NE) were synthesized by controlling washing pH value. When these TNTs were utilized as the catalyst supports for manganese oxides (Mn/TNTs-AL, Mn/TNTs-AC, and Mn/TNTs-NE), the key role of pH value was found. Titanate nanosheets, titanate nanorods and titanate nanotubes were dominated in Mn/TNTs-AL, Mn/TNTs-AC, and Mn/TNTs-NE, respectively. MnO2crystal was observed when using TNTs-AC or TNTs-NE as the support. By contrast, Mn3O4and NaNO3were observed when using TNTs-AL as the support. Mn/TNTs-NE showed the best SCR activity, in line with the largest surface area, the best dispersion, and the most active redox property of manganese oxides. Mn/TNTs-AL showed negligible SCR activity, resulting from the minimum surface area, the Mn3O4-dominating crystal structure, and the bad dispersion of manganese oxides.

Abstract Mn-based oxides are promising catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 at temperatures below 200 °C. There is a general agreement that combining Mn with another metal oxide, such as CeOx improves catalytic activity. However, to date, there is an unsettling debate on the role of Ce as Mn promoter on the SCR reaction. To solve this, here we have systematically studied the effect Ce by preparing, characterizing and testing around 30 catalysts aiming for a well-controlled homogeneous dispersion of the metal oxides. Our results show that, at low-temperature SCR conditions, the intrinsic activity of the Mn active sites is not positively affected by Ce species in intimate contact. In fact, the results suggest that Ce is electronically interacting with Mn and decreasing the active-site average activity. To confirm our findings, activities reported in literature were surface-area normalized and the analysis do not support an increase in activity by Ce addition. Therefore, we can unequivocally conclude that the beneficial effect of Ce is textural, increasing catalyst surface area and therefore the total number of active sites. Besides, addition of Ce is increasing N2 selectivity as it suppresses second-step oxidation reactions and thus N2O formation by structurally diluting the MnOx active sites. Therefore, the textural promoting effect still makes Ce an interesting additive for Mn catalysts.

A series of spherical-like MnOx/TiO2 catalysts with F-doped were prepared by using sol-gel method and investigated for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 at the temperature ranging from 100 °C to 200 °C. The 0.07Ce-MnOx/TiO2 catalyst shows the highest activity and yields 95% NO conversion at 200 °C. With the help of XRD, TGA, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, BET and TEM, the structures and properties of the catalysts were characterized. The results show that it is a fine modifier for TiO2 support with appropriate amounts of F doping, and F ions can enter into TiO2 lattice, reducing the formation of rutile TiO2 and the crystallization of MnOx. However, MnTiO3 was generated in the catalysts with excess F doping. This would cause larger diameter of spherical particle and smaller surface area. But the amounts of the surface acid sites increased, and the reduction ability of catalysts was enhanced, which is beneficial for catalytic activity of the catalysts.

Copper and iron promoted ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by one-pot synthesis using urea. The studied catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, XPS, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD), and tested by the selective catalytic reduction by ammonia (NH3-SCR) of NO in the absence and presence of water vapor, under the experimental conditions representative of exhaust gases from stationary sources. The influence of SO2 on catalytic performance was also investigated. Among the studied catalysts, the Fe-Zr sample showed the most promising results in NH3-SCR, being active and highly selective to N2. The addition of SO2 markedly improved NO and NH3 conversions during NH3-SCR in the presence of H2O. The improvement in acidic surface properties is believed to be the cause.
