NOx adsorption on Al2O3 and Ag/Al2O3 from first principles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrocarbon (HC) assisted selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is an appealing technology for NOx reduction in oxygen excess. In particular, a catalyst formulation with silver supported on alumina (Ag/Al2O3) has been measured to have high activity for this reaction [1,2]. Although numerous experimental studies have clarified issues concerning the Ag/Al2O3 catalyst, the nature of the active phase is still an open discussion [1,2]

The role of AgOAl entities in adsorption of NCO species and reduction of NOx
In order to investigate the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by hydrocarbons, Ag/Al2O3 models were constructed by means of density functional theory (DFT) and experimental results. The geometrical structures and vibrational frequencies obtained at B3LYP levels of DFT were compared with the corresponding experimental results. EXAFS results suggest silver ion species were predominant on the A...
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical studies of surface nitrate species on Ag/Al2O3 using DRIFTS and DFT.
Surface nitrate (NO3(-)) species on the Ag/Al2O3 play an important role in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx. In this study, the formation and configuration of surface nitrate NO3(-)(ads) species on Ag/Al2O3 and Al2O3 in the oxidation of NO have been studied using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and density functional theory (DFT) calcul...
متن کاملNovel Pd promoted Ag/Al2O3 catalyst for the selective reduction of NOx
A novel palladium promoted Ag/Al2O3 catalyst (denoted Ag-Pd/Al2O3) has been developed for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by C3H6. The Ag-Pd/Al2O3 shows a higher NOx conversion than Ag/Al2O3, especially at the temperatures ranging from 300 to 450 ◦C. The addition of a small amount of Pd (0.01 wt.%) to Ag/Al2O3 is considered to be favorable for the partial oxidation of C3H6. In situ diff...
متن کاملDensity functional theory (DFT) and DRIFTS investigations of the formation and adsorption of enolic species on the Ag/Al2O3 surface.
Molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of the novel surface enolic species intermediate on Ag/Al2O3 have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ infrared spectroscopy. The geometrical structures and vibrational frequencies were obtained at the B3P86 levels of DFT and compared with the corresponding experimental values. Theoretical calculat...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of the adsorption of methanol at the α-Al2O3(0001) surface
We present density functional theory calculations of methanol molecular adsorption at the (0001) surface of α-Al2O3, for methanol coverages of 1/4 to 1 monolayer (ML). Adsorption energies, adsorption-induced restructuring of the surface, and induced changes to the electronic structure are calculated. We find that methanol bonds with its O atom to Al atoms at the α-Al2O3(0001) surface with an ad...
