Abstract:
A novel route is developed for regeneration of deactivated commercial NH3-SCR catalysts, which includes an initial in situ construction of anatase TiO2 porous film, followed by loading of MnOx, CeOx, and Mn-Ce mixed oxides as active components. The regenerated catalysts present largely improved low-temperature denitrification performance due to the synergetic effect of MnOx and CeOx. The denitrification efficiency could reach a high value of 97% at 200 °C and 100% at 250 °C when the Ce-Mn mixed oxides are loaded at the optimized molar quantity ratio of 10:9 (Ce:Mn). Properties and reaction mechanisms of the regenerated catalysts are investigated with characterizations of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Our results demonstrate that the adsorption and oxidation of NO plays a crucial role for these three catalysts even though a difference exists on the reaction pathways. Graphical abstract.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
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.
