Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with NH 3 is the most efficient and economic flue gas denitrification technology developed to date. Due to its high low-temperature catalytic activity, Mn-based catalysts present a great prospect for application in SCR de-NO x at low temperatures. However, overcoming the poor resistance of Mn-based catalysts to H 2 O and SO 2 poison is still a challenge. This paper reviews the recent progress on the H 2 O and SO 2 resistance of Mn-based catalysts for the low-temperature SCR of NO x . Firstly, the poison mechanisms of H 2 O and SO 2 are introduced in detail, respectively. Secondly, Mn-based catalysts are divided into three categories-single MnO x catalysts, Mn-based multi-metal oxide catalysts, and Mn-based supported catalysts-to review the research progress of Mn-based catalysts for H 2 O and SO 2 resistance. Thirdly, several strategies to reduce the poisonous effects of H 2 O and SO 2 , such as metal modification, proper support, the combination of metal modification and support, the rational design of structure and morphology, are summarized. Finally, perspectives and future directions of Mn-based catalysts for the low-temperature SCR of NO x are proposed.
