摘要:

采用共沉淀法制备了高比表面积的MnxCo3−xO4球形催化剂,研究了NH3选择性催化还原NOx性能。Mn-Co金属氧化物具有尖晶石结构,随着Co含量的增加,晶体结构由四方相转变为立方相。高浓度的表面活性氧物种和变价元素的强有效电子转移(Co3+ + Mn3+ ↔ Co2+ + Mn4+)有利于提高MnxCo3−xO4 (x = 1.0、1.5、2.0)尖晶型石催化剂的氧化还原能力,催化剂表面的Mn富集作用形成了氧缺陷结构和丰富的表面活性位点,进一步促进SCR脱硝反应,呈现出优异的催化性能。Cotet(CoMn)octO4晶体结构中,Mn离子(Mn3+和Mn4+,以三价锰为主)和部分Co离子被配置到八面体中心,这些物种作为活性位点存在着较强的电子转移交互作用,该构型对促进低温脱硝活性和保护活性位点耐受SO2毒害具有重要的意义。Mn-Co尖晶石表面的NH3-SCR脱硝反应过程主要遵循Eley-Rideal反应机理,即吸附态NH3与气态NO (或NO2)的反应路径。随着反应温度的增加,反应生成的NH4NO3中间体很可能转化为NH4NO2物种,进而分解为N2,提高了催化剂的氮气选择性。

Abstract:

Currently, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient, non-toxic, and stable catalyst for the removal of NOx via selective catalytic reduction using NH3 (NH3-SCR) that is effective at low temperatures. Mn-based catalysts are particularly representative and have been widely studied. An investigation of the collaborative participation of Mn and Co can be of great importance for improving the catalytic activity and SO2 resistance of Mn-Co oxides with a spinel structure. Therefore, in this study, we prepared MnxCo3−xO4 spherical particles with high surface area using a co-precipitation method and investigated their ability to remove NOx via NH3-SCR. Mn-Co bimetal oxides mainly possess a spinel structure and undergo a tetragonal-to-cubic phase transformation with increasing Co-content. A high concentration of surface oxygen and strong effective electron transfer between the variable valence elements (Co3+ + Mn3+ ↔ Co2+ + Mn4+) improves the redox ability of typical MnxCo3−xO4 (x = 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) spinel catalysts. In addition, Mn-enrichment leads to more oxygen vacancies and abundant surface-active sites, which further promotes the SCR catalytic performance. The investigated MnxCo3−xO4 catalysts exhibit > 91% NOx conversion at 75 ℃, almost reaching 100% conversion with increasing reaction temperature. Notably, the NOx conversion rate remained above 80% during the test time of 15 h under 150 × 10−6 SO2 at 175 ℃. It was found that the coordination structure likely formed into a Cotet(CoMn)octO4 spinel structure in which Mn ions (Mn3+ and Mn4+, mainly in trivalent manganese) and partial Co ions are configured into octahedral sites. These species were identified as the activity descriptor for probably owing to their strong electronic transfer interactions that were directly correlated with SCR activity. Furthermore, the Cotet(CoMn)octO4 configuration was important for promoting low-temperature de-NOx activity and highly conducive to protecting Mn active sites from poisoning by SO2. The active sites in this particular spinel structure with the micro-coordination structure were effectively built and maintained to ensure the smooth circulation of electronic interactions in the core octahedron. The reaction of adsorbed NH3 and gaseous NO (or NO2) mainly occurred on the surface of Mn-Co spinel following the Eley-Rideal mechanism. Additionally, the NH4NO3 intermediate was likely first transformed into NH4NO2 and then to N2 with increasing reaction temperature. Herein, we successfully synthesized a spinel-structured Mn-Co oxide catalyst comprising a Mn-enriched surface of (MnCo)3O4−ƞ spinel oxides that exhibited high NH3-SCR catalytic activity and good resistance to SO2 poisoning.
