Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane over cerium and silver ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new catalyst comprising cerium and silver ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite is reported in this paper, for the reduction of nitric oxide by methane in the presence of excess oxygen. The bi-cation exchanged Ce-Ag-ZSM-5 catalyst was very active for this reaction, while either Ce-ZSM-5 or Ag-ZSM-5 alone showed low activity. The presence of oxygen in the feed gas mixture enhanced the activity of the catalyst and the NO conversion to N2 increased with the CH4/NO ratio and Ag loading of the zeolite. The presence of water vapor had a small adverse effect on the catalyst activity. The coexistence of Ce and Ag ions in the zeolite is crucial for achieving high NO conversion to N2. A small amount of cerium is adequate to promote the selective catalytic reduction of NO. The two main functions of Ce ions are (i) to provide the Ag ion sites with NO2 by catalyzing the oxidation of NO to NO2 and (ii) to suppress the direct CH4 oxidation to CO2. The Ag sites are the active centers where the reaction of NO2 with CH4 takes place. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

On the Promotion of Ag–ZSM-5 by Cerium for the SCR of NO by Methane
The promotion of Ag–ZSM-5 by cerium for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with methane in the presence of an excess of oxygen was studied in this work. Ce–Ag–ZSM-5 catalyzes the CH4-SCR of NOx over the temperature range of 450–600◦C. Rate measurements of NO reduction to N2 under SCR conditions and of the competing CH4 oxidation by O2 (CH4 combustion) show that incorporation of a sma...
متن کاملNO reduction by CH4 in the presence of excess O2 over Pd/sulfated zirconia catalysts
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by methane in the presence of excess oxygen has been studied on a series of Pd catalysts supported on sulfated zirconia (SZ). This support is not as sensitive to structural damage by steaming as the acidic zeolites, such as H-ZSM-5 and H-Mor. In previous studies, it was shown that this type of acidic zeolites are able to stabilize Pd2+ ions and prom...
متن کاملNo removal in the selective catalitic reduction process over Cu and Fe exchanged type Y zeolites synthesized from coal fly ash
The nitric oxide (NO) removal capacity of ion-exchanged zeolite Y obtained from coal combustion fly ash was evaluated in this work. Zeolite Y was exchanged either with Cu or Fe to obtain two different catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx from flue gas. The selective catalytic reduction experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 350°C, water content 0% an...

Mesoporous and conventional Fe-containing ZSM-5 catalysts (0.5–8 wt% Fe) were prepared using a simple impregnation method and tested in NO selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with NH3. It was found that mesoporous Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts exhibit higher SCR activities than comparable conventional catalysts. Furthermore, conventional Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts have maximum activity at ~ 2.5 wt% Fe while for t...
