Synthesis of highly loaded Cu/Ce mesoporous silica. Active catalyst for the simultaneous reduction of SO2 and NO with CO.
We report the synthesis of a thermally stable, highly loaded (15 wt.%) Cu/Ce bimetallic mesoporous silica with high surface area and metal dispersion, which was the first template assisted mesoporous network successfully tested for the simultaneous reduction of SO2 and NO with CO, achieving complete conversion of the reactants to elemental sulfur and N2 at high space velocity 32,000 h(-1).
