Abstract:
Combined oxide catalysts are prepared for catalytic combustion of soot and regeneration from diesel emissions. Thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA) and temperature programmed oxidation(TPO)are used to evaluate the activity of catalysts under the influence of composition,atomic ration, H2O, calcinations temperature and mass ration between catalysts and soot. Results show that Cu-Mo-O had high activity among double metal oxide catalysts. Among multicomponent metal oxide catalysts, Cu-K-Mo-O had high activity when atomic ratio Cu: K: Mo = 1:1:2 and mass ration between catalysts and soot equals 5: 1. Under this condition, soot ignition temperature of Cu-K-Mo-O catalyst was 327 degrees C. H2O addition and calcinations temperature had little influence on it,which is one kind of compatible catalyst for soot control and catalytic regeneration from diesel emissions.
