Abstract:
NOx and CH3SH as two typical air pollutants widely coexist in various energy and industrial processes; hence, it is urgent to develop highly efficient catalysts to synergistically eliminate NOx and CH3SH. However, the catalytic system for synergistically eliminating NOx and CH3SH is seldom investigated to date. Meanwhile, the deactivation effects of CH3SH on catalysts and the formation mechanism of toxic byproducts emitted from the synergistic catalytic elimination reaction are still vague. Herein, selective synergistic catalytic elimination (SSCE) of NOx and CH3SH via engineering deep oxidation sites over Cu-modified Nb-Fe composite oxides supported on TiO2 catalyst against toxic CO and HCN byproducts formation has been originally demonstrated. Various spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations demonstrate that the sufficient chemisorbed oxygen species induced by the persistent electron transfer from Nb-Fe composite oxides to copper oxides can deeply oxidize HCOOH to CO2 for avoiding highly toxic byproducts formation. This work is of significance in designing superior catalysts employed in more complex working conditions and sheds light on the progress in the SSCE of NOx and sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds.

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...
