Effects of the incorporation of Cr, Ni, Co, Ag, Al, Ni and Pt cations in titanate nanotubes (NTs) were examined on the NOx conversion. The structural and morphological characterizations evidenced that the ion-exchange reaction of Cr, Co, Ni and Al ions with the NTs produced catalysts with metals included in the interlayer regions of the trititanate NTs whereas an assembly of Ag and Pt nanoparticles were either on the nanotubes surface or inner diameters through an impregnation process. Understanding the role of the different metal cations intercalated or supported on the nanotubes, the optimal selective catalytic reduction of NOx by CO reaction (SCR) conditions was investigated by carrying out variations in the reaction temperature, SO2 and H2O poisoning and long-term stability runs. Pt nanoparticles on the NTs exhibited superior activity compared to the Cr, Co and Al intercalated in the nanotubes and even to the Ag and Ni counterparts. Resistance against SO2 poisoning was low on NiNT due to the trititanate phase transformation into TiO2 and also to sulfur deposits on Ni sites. However, the interaction between Pt2+ from PtOx and Ti4+ in the NTs favored the adsorption of both NOx and CO enhancing the catalytic performance.

The Ce-V/TiO2 catalysts with the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) were prepared by method of Sol-gel and insuccation. The phase compositions, microstructures and specific surface area of the catalysts were analyzed by XRD, SEM and BET, respectively. The effect of CeO2 and V2O5 loading and reaction temperature on the catalytic performances of the as-prepared catalysts was investigated by using the selective reduction of NOx with NH3. The results showed all the as-prepared Ce-V/TiO2 catalysts were made up of nanometer grains. Compared to conventional TiO2 catalysts, the as-prepared Ce-V/TiO2 catalysts possessed better catalytic performance, higher adsorbability and larger area of contact with reactant, which is due to large quantity surface micropores. The NOx conversion of SCR over 5wt%Ce-10wt%V/TiO2 catalysts reached 96.2% at the reaction temperature of 500 oC.

A systematic modeling approach was scrutinized to develop a kinetic model and a novel monolith channel geometry was designed for NH3 selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) over Cu-ZSM-5. The redox characteristic of Cu-based catalysts and the variations of NH3, NOx concentration, and NOx conversion along the axis in porous media channels were studied. The relative pressure drop in different channels, the variations of NH3 and NOx conversion efficiency were analyzed. The model mainly considers NH3 adsorption and desorption, NH3 oxidation, NO oxidation, and NOx reduction. The results showed that the model could accurately predict the NH3-SCR reaction. In addition, it was found that the Cu-based zeolite catalyst had poor low-temperature catalytic performance and good high-temperature activity. Moreover, the catalytic reaction of NH3-SCR was mainly concentrated in the upper part of the reactor. In addition, the hexagonal channel could effectively improve the diffusion rate of gas reactants to the catalyst wall, reduce the pressure drop and improve the catalytic conversion efficiencies of NH3 and NOx.

The calcined temperature of the carrier obviously affected SCR activity of catalysts, WO3/Ce0.68Zr0.32O2-500 showed the best low-temperature NH3-SCR activity due to its more Lewis acid sites and stronger redox property.

Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O heterostructures were successfully synthesized using a simple and convenient method. The Pt nanoparticle density on the Ag@Cu2O can be controlled by changing the concentration of the Pt precursor. The synthesized Ag@Cu2O–Pt nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic performance, which was greatly affected by changes in the Ag@Cu2O–Pt structure. To optimize the material’s properties, the synthesized Ag@Cu2O–Pt nanoparticles were used to catalyze toxic pollutants and methyl orange (MO), and nontoxic products were obtained by catalytic reduction. The Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O nanoparticles showed excellent catalytic activity, which significantly decreased the pollutant concentration when the nanoparticles were used for catalytic reduction. The redistribution of charge transfer is the nanoparticles’ main contribution to the catalytic degradation of an organic pollutant. This Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O material has unique optical and structural characteristics that make it suitable for photocatalysis, local surface plasmon resonance, and peroxide catalysis.

The redox cycle (Ce4+ + Fe2+ ↔ Ce3+ + Fe3+) over the Fe–Ce–Ti catalyst contributes to the activation of NOx and NH3 and thus the formation of reaction intermediates, leading to the high catalytic performance for the NH3-SCR of NOx.

The goal of the study was to modify activated carbon (AC) with nitrogen groups and ceria and to test the obtained materials in low temperature selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides. For that purpose, the starting AC was oxidized with HNO3 of various concentrations, modified with urea and doped with 0.5 wt.% of Ce. It was observed that the increased concentration of acid influenced the catalytic activity, since textural and surface chemistry of activated carbon was changed. The most active sample was that modified with 14 M HNO3 and it reached 96% of NO conversion at 300 °C. Additionally, the addition of Ce improved the catalytic performance of modified AC, and NO was reduced according to oxidation–reduction mechanism, characteristic for supported metal oxides. Nevertheless, the samples promoted with Ce emitted significantly higher amount of CO2 comparing to the non-promoted ones.
