Regulating the valence and size of the active center of Co/Al2O3 catalyst improved the performance and selectivity of NH3-SCO
Journal of Environmental Sciences(2024)
摘要
To improve the activity of Co/Al2O3 catalysts in selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia (NH3-SCO), valence state and size of active centers of Al2O3-supported Co catalysts were adjusted by conducting H2 reduction pretreatment. The NH3-SCO activity of the adjusted 2Co/Al2O3 catalyst was substantially improved, outperforming other catalysts with higher Co-loading. Fresh Co/Al2O3 catalysts exhibited multitemperature reduction processes, enabling the control of the valence state of the Co-active centers by adjusting the reduction temperature. Changes in the state of the Co-active centers also led to differences in redox capacity of the catalysts, resulting in different reaction mechanisms for NH3-SCO. However, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra revealed that an excessive O2 activation capacity caused overoxidation of NH3 to NO and NO2. The NH3-SCO activity of the 2Co/Al2O3 catalyst with low redox capacity was successfully increased while controlling and optimizing the N2 selectivity by modulating the active centers via H2 pretreatment, which is a universal method used for enhancing the redox properties of catalysts. Thus, this method has great potential for application in the design of inexpensive and highly active catalysts.
