Zr is added to the Fe−Mn/Ti catalyst to increase NO conversion and improve SO 2 tolerance. It is found that 0.03 is the optimal ratio for Zr/(Ti + Zr). With this ratio, the NO conversion below 150 °C increases, and the SO 2 poisoning is alleviated, while the further increase of Zr does not have a positive effect on NO conversion and SO 2 tolerance. With Zr additive, more manganese oxides are reduced in the form of MnO 2 and Mn 2 O 3 at lower temperature in H 2 -TPR, and the total amount of H 2 consumption rises, indicating better redox properties. It leads to the increase of NO complexes on the catalysts. Despite the small decrease of NH 3 adsorption, the reaction via the L−H way is promoted and NO conversion increases. Furthermore, more nitrates and NO 2 are formed in the reaction with SO 2 on Fe−Mn/Ti−Zr(0.03) compared to Fe−Mn/Ti, so the L−H reaction way is less inhibited by SO 2 with Zr additive, and the SO 2 tolerance of this catalyst is also improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
