[The surface adsorption and selective catalytic reaction of NO on Cu-ZSM-5 using in situ DRIFTS].
The prepared Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst presents higher activity at low temperature during the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO, and the conversion from NO to N2 is 70.6% at 613 K. The in situ diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS) is an important method for studying surface adsorption of catalyst and mechanism of catalytic reaction, and was used to study the surface adsorbed species and the selective catalytic reduction reaction of NO on Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst in the presence of propene as reductant, with excess O2 and at 298-773 K. Based on the in-situ DRIFTS, a reaction mechanism is proposed that on Cu-ZSM-5, NO is first transformed to a series of NO(x) surface adsorbates, then these species react with the activating species of propene (C(x)H(y) or C(x)H(y)O(x)) to form organo-intermediates, including a process from organo-NH to organo-CN again to organo-NO(x) (organo-nitro or organo-nitrito), and finally these key intermediates react to form nitrogen. The role of Cu is to promote NO(x) content. Propene is easily activated on Cu-ZSM-5 with oxygen, and furthermore, the presence of oxygen is necessary to form organo-NO(x) intermediates.
