The Formation of N2O from NH3-SCR Reaction over Commercial V2O5/TiO2-Based Catalysts

چکیده
Introduction Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a strong greenhouse gas with global warming potential (GWP) which is much greater, by 310 times, than that of CO2, and chronic exposure of humans to it even with low concentrations has been known to cause miscarriages in an early gestation period, liver disorders, kidney troubles, cancers and troubles of nervous systems [1-3]. N2O having such effects and high GWP value would be produced from NH3-SCR (selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3) processes that are widely used for abating NOx from coal-, oiland natural gas-fired power plants [4]. Thus, the extent of the formation of N2O upon SCR reaction with commercial V2O5/TiO2-based catalysts is of particular interest.

Promoter effect of V2O5/TiO2 catalyst on deNOx activity and N2O formation in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3
Introduction Nitrogen oxides (NOx) cause the photochemical smog, acid rain, ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. Therefore, a great deal of studies has been performed to reduce NOx by using various catalytic systems such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or NOx storagereduction catalyst. Recently, N2O, whose greenhouse effect is 310 times larger than CO2, has been issued due to the new r...
متن کاملVOx Surface Coverage Optimization of V2O5/WO3-TiO2 SCR Catalysts by Variation of the V Loading and by Aging
V2O5/WO3-TiO2 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts with a V2O5 loading of 1.7, 2.0, 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 3.2 and 3.5 wt. % were investigated in the fresh state and after hydrothermal aging at 600 °C for 16 h. The catalysts were characterized by means of nitrogen physisorption, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In the fresh state, the SCR activity increased with increasing ...

This work tested two V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts with different vanadium precursors for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of flue gas NO using NH3 at 150–450 ̋C. While catalyst A was prepared using ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) through incipient impregnation, catalyst B was made according to the solvothermal method using vanadyl acetylacetonate (VO(acac)2) as the vanadium precursor. The catalyti...
متن کاملMECHANISTIC AND KINETIC ANALYSIS OF THE NO2 SCR REACTION AND N2O FORMATION OVER Fe AND CuZEOLITE CATALYSTS FOR THE AFTERTREATMENT OF DIESEL EXHAUSTS
Urea/NH3-SCR is presently considered a key technology for the control and abatement of NO emissions from Diesel engines; the presence of a DOC catalyst upstream from the SCR unit warrants significant amounts of NO2 entering the SCR reactors together with NO. In this work new zeolite-based catalysts promoted by Fe and by Cu were investigated: reactivity tests were performed to allow a quantitati...
متن کاملSuppressed N2O formation during NH3 selective catalytic reduction using vanadium on zeolitic microporous TiO2
Emission of N2O from mobile and off-road engine is now being currently regulated because of its high impact compared to that of CO2, thereby implying that N2O formation from the exhaust gas after-treatment system should be suppressed. Selective catalytic reduction using vanadium supported TiO2 catalyst in mobile and off-road engine has been considered to be major source for N2O emission in the ...
