Abstract
The performances of Mn modified Pd/TiO2-Al2O3 catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by H2 (H2-SCR) were investigated in this study. The added Mn not only enhanced the activity but also remarkably increased N2 selectivity above 150°C. Based on the characterization, it was found that Pd was present in the form of PdO and the synergetic effect between Pd and Mn led to more NOx adsorbed and activated over Mn promoted Pd/TiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. In situ DRIFTS studies demonstrated that the addition of Mn resulted in new types of adsorbed nitrite and nitrate species formed, both of which are reactive in the H2-SCR process. Moreover, NH3 and NHx (x=0-2) species adsorbed on Lewis acid sites were dominantly present instead of NH4+ species on Brønsted acid sites over the Mn modified Pd/TiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. Therefore, the H2-SCR of NOx reaction was facilitated to proceed following the well-established NH3-SCR reaction route.
