The influence of the combustion products of different lubrication oil additives and impurities in fuel or urea solution on the activity and selectivity of V 2 O 5 /WO 3 -TiO 2 catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides by ammonia was investigated. Focusing on the deactivation by calcium, phosphate, and potassium, the DeNO x activity followed the order K)Ca>PO 4 . This trend was investigated on the structural level of the catalyst by means of temperature programmed desorption of ammonia (NH 3 -TPD) and a DRIFT characterization of the adsorbed ammonia species. The results suggest that the studied elements strongly reduce the acidity of the SCR catalyst in the order K ) Ca>PO 4 by mainly affecting the Brønsted acidity of the surface.
At 150°C, HNCO adsorbs dissociatively on Fe-ZSM5 producing principally isocyanate species (-NCO) adsorbed on Al and Fe sites. In the presence of water the hydrolysis of the -NCO groups to NH 3 was observed. Comparison of the DRIFT results with measurements of the catalytic activity of coated cordierite monoliths suggests that -NCO groups are likely intermediate species in the hydrolysis of HNCO over Fe-ZSM5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
