“…H-ZSM-5 is also regarded to perform as a catalyst to selectively produce N 2 from NH 3 and NOx [6], both of which are intermediate products of DMF. In contrast, the reactants and byproducts hardly adsorbed on basic ZrO 2 [7,8], and thus would be easily released outside of the reaction system. SiO 2 displayed a medium activity between that of H-ZSM-5 and ZrO 2 , probably due to not having either strong acidity or basicity [9].…”
