Removal of NO(x) at low temperature over mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3 catalyst
Abstract:
Low-temperature selective catalytic reduction was carried out over various kinds of manganese oxide (MnOx) catalysts. Mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3, commercial bulk Mn2O3, and Mn/SBA-15 were used as the catalyst. The NOx removal performances of the catalysts were compared. Three different amounts of Mn (5, 10, and 15 wt%) were impregnated on SBA-15 to synthesize Mn/SBA-15. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were examined by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and H2-temperature programmed reduction analyses. Of all catalysts examined, mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3 exhibited the highest low-temperature SCR de-NOx efficiency, reaching about 90% at 175 degrees C. This is attributed to strong reducing ability and high oxygen mobility of mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3 and well dispersed Mn2O3 in its mesoporous framework.

Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
