By using the SIT equation and solvent extraction to consider activities of chloride and metal complexes in the aqueous and ethylene glycol layers, it is figuratively like viewing the system through a special lens which makes everything clearer.
Selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with NH3 (NH3-SCR) is still the most commonly used control technology for nitrogen oxides emission. Specifically, the application of rare earth materials has become more and more extensive. CeO2 was widely developed in NH3-SCR reaction due to its good redox performance, proper surface acidity and abundant resource reserves. Therefore, a large number of papers in the literature have described the research of cerium-based catalysts. This review critically summarized the development of the different components of cerium-based catalysts, and characterized the preparation methods, the catalytic performance and reaction mechanisms of the cerium-based catalysts for NH3-SCR. The purpose of this review is to highlight: (1) the modification effect of the various metal elements for cerium-based catalysts; (2) various synthesis methods of the cerium-based catalysts; and (3) the physicochemical properties of the various catalysts and clarify their relations to catalytic performances, particularly in the presence of SO2 and H2O. Finally, we hope that this work can give timely technical guidance and valuable insights for the applications of NH3-SCR in the field of NOx control.
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.
