In the present study the catalytic activities of several TiO2-supported metal and metal oxide
catalysts have been tested simultaneously for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides
with ammonia (NH3-SCR) using high-throughput-screening equipment. Two different series of
various catalyst samples were evaluated for different feed gas compositions, both with and
without water, and before and after SO2 exposure. The first series of samples consisted of catalysts
containing a single metal or metal oxide (Mg, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, Rh, Ag, W, Ir, or
Pt), including a commercial SCR catalyst sample for comparison. Of the metals investigated in
the first series, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Rh were found to have the most interesting catalytic properties,
regarding activity and selectivity at high or low temperatures. A second series of samples were
prepared containing combinations of the selected metals, and the results from the catalytic tests
show a general trend of increased SCR activity at lower temperatures when Rh is added to the
multiple-metal samples. The results further indicate that it is possible to widen the active
temperature window by combining different metals in the catalyst formulation.
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.
