MnÀ Ni oxides supported on ordered mesoporous alumina (OMA) catalysts were applied to the NH 3 À SCR of NO x at lowtemperature compared with MnÀ Ni oxides supported on commercial γ-Al 2 O 3 . The NO x conversion and N 2 selectivity of MnÀ Ni/OMA were superior to the MnÀ Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 in the temperature window of 90~240°C. BET, XRD, NH 3 À TPD, NO + O 2 À TPD, Pyridine-IR, H 2 À TPR, and XPS were performed to characterized the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. The characterization results manifested that supports conduct a significant part on the structural and catalytic properties of catalysts for NH 3 À SCR performance. Compared with MnÀ Ni/Al 2 O 3 , the super SCR performances of MnÀ Ni/OMA could be ascribed to not only the higher dispersion of MnO x but also more abundant Lewis acid sites, and the increase in redox capacity since the extremely primary MnO 2 phase on catalyst's surface. Furthermore, in situ DRIFTs were conducted to detect the SCR-reaction mechanism over the two catalysts. Results demonstrate that although the OMA support can greatly enhance the catalytic activity of MnÀ Ni/OMA catalysts, the reaction mechanism over MnÀ Ni/OMA does not alter in comparison with MnÀ Ni/Al 2 O 3 . Namely, the concurrence of Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LÀ H) and Eley-Rideal (EÀ R) mechanism, among which the EÀ R mechanism plays a dominant role.[a] Dr.
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.
