Novel MnÀ EuÀ Fe catalysts were prepared via co-precipitation method for NO x removal by selective catalytic reduction with NH 3 (NH 3 À SCR). The MnÀ EuÀ Fe(1)-500 catalyst possessed the highest level of low-temperature activity, giving 98 % NO conversion at 100°C. This catalyst also exhibited excellent H 2 O resistance capacity, even at a high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 75,000 h À 1 . The NO conversion still maintained at approximately 90 % in the presence of 15 % H 2 O at 230°C after 50 h, and the adverse effects of H 2 O could be quickly eliminated after the removal of H 2 O. Detailed characterization and analysis indicated that strong interactions among Mn, Eu and Fe resulted in the excellent low-temperature SCR activity and H 2 O resistance of the MnÀ EuÀ Fe(1)-500 catalyst. The strong interactions lead to larger specific surface area, higher concentrations of Mn 4 + , Fe 3 + and O α ; improved redox properties, increased acid sites and acid strength, and more adsorption amounts of NO/NH 3 in the presence of H 2 O. The MnÀ EuÀ Fe(1)-500 catalyst is a potential future catalyst for low-temperature NO x removal derived from high-H 2 O-content flue gases of natural gas combustion.
