Performance Study f V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 Mixed Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts in Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nox Prepared by Co-Precipitation Method

In this work, the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 in the presence of oxygen over a series of Vanadia-Titania was investigated. Catalysts prepared by Co-precipitation method with oxalic acid. Response surface methodology involving central composite design was employed to model and optimize the catalyst preparation parameters of (V loading, calcination temperature, and Co-precipitation temperature) in Selective catalytic reduction of NO at 300 degrees C. Results show that RSM model is able to predict NO conversion data with an acceptable level of accuracy (R-2=0.995). The optimum conditions for V loading, Calcinations Temperature, and Co- precipitation temperature were 0.000654 mole, 441 degrees C and 83 degrees C, respectively. 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
