Abstract:
NO is a major atmospheric pollutant that is emanated by motor vehicles, thermal power plants, and industrial boilers. Therefore, the removal of NO is a research hotspot in the exhaust gas treatment field. Numerous methods have been used to eliminate NO : the selective catalytic reduction of NO using C3H6 as the reducing agent (C3H6-SCR) is an effective method to remove NO . The key issue in NO removal in C3H6-SCR is to obtain catalysts with low-temperature activity and wide operating temperatures. Till date, different supported wide-temperature-active molecular sieve catalysts have been prepared and used in C3H6-SCR reactions. Studies have shown that the catalytic performance of supported catalysts is related not only to the active component but also to the structural and textural parameters of the molecular sieve supports. This review summarizes the structural and textural characteristics, catalytic properties, and catalytic mechanism of molecular sieve catalysts with different pore structures for C3H6-SCR reactions. The design strategies of supported molecular sieve catalysts are suggested. The goal of this review is to highlight (1) the structural and textural characteristics and low-temperature catalytic performance of different supported molecular sieve catalysts; (2) the relationship between wide-temperature window and loaded active components, as well as carriers of the supported molecular sieve catalysts; and (3) design strategies and development prospects of supported molecular sieve catalysts with low-temperature activity and wide-temperature operating range for C3H6-SCR reactions.

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.
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 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.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the...
Preparation of Amines: Reduction of Oximes and Nitro Compounds
Though catalytic hydrogenation can reduce nitrobenzenes, the reduction is nonselective in the presence of other functional groups. For instance, if nitrobenzene contains an aldehyde group,...
