Abstract:
Reducing the poisoning effect arising from alkali metals over catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH3 is still an urgent issue to be solved. Herein, alkali-resistant NO reduction over B-doped CeO2/TiO2 catalysts (Ce-B/TiO2) with Ce-O-B alkali-capture sites was originally demonstrated. It was noted that boron was confirmed to be doped into the lattice of CeO2 to form the Ce-O-B structure. In this way, more active Ce(III) species and oxygen vacancies were generated from B-doped CeO2, thus accelerating the redox cycle and enhancing the adsorption/activation of NO. Gratifyingly, the created Ce-O-B sites as alkali-capture sites could be effectively combined with K and release the poisoned Ce active sites, which maintained efficient NH3 and NO adsorption/activation over K poisoned Ce-B/TiO2. This work paves a way for designing highly efficient and alkali-resistant SCR catalysts in both academic and industrial fields.

Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

02:47Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
