Abstract:
Manganese-based catalysts have shown great potential for use as a hydrocarbon reductant for NO reduction (HC-SCR) at low temperatures if their catalytic stability could be further maintained. The effect of CeO2 as a promoter and catalyst stability agent for activated carbon supported MnO was investigated during low temperature deNO based on a C2H4 reductant. The modern characterization technology could provide a clear understanding of the activity observed during the deNO tests. When reaction temperatures were greater than 180 °C and with ceria concentrations more than 5%, the overall NO conversion became stable near 70% during long duration testing. In situ DRIFTS shows that C2H4 is adsorbed on the Mn3Ce3/NAC catalysts to generate hydrocarbon activated intermediates, R-COOH, and the reaction mechanism followed the E-R mechanism. The stability and the analytical data pointed to the formation of stable oxygen vacancies within Ce3+/Ce4+ redox couplets that prevented the reduction of MnO2 to crystalline Mn2O3 and promoted the chemisorption of oxygen on the surface of MnO -CeO structures. Based on the data, a synergetic mechanism model of the deNO activity is proposed for the MnO -CeO catalysts.

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.
Alkynes 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.
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
