It is found that C2H2-SCR is initiated and controlled by NO oxidation to NO2 over A12O3. Ce loading on A12O3 is almost inactive for NO oxidation below 350℃, since NO2 strongly adsorbs on cerium oxide, leading to the active sites being blocked, which was characterized by temperature-programmed desorption of NO and NO2 and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy after NO+O2 coadsorption over the samples. However, in the case of C2H2-SCR, Ce loading on A1203 significantly improves the reaction by accelerating the NO oxidation step in the temperature range of 250-450℃, since the nitrate species produced by NO2 adsorption is an active intermediate required by C2H2-SCR.展开更多

It was found that the co-precipitation was the most active and a 60% NO conversion was achieved at 250 oC. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brumauer-Emmett (BET), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) techniques were employed to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the catalysts. XRD results showed that amorphous MnOx or Mn-O-Ce solid solution existed in co-precipitation and impregnation prepared sample, while crystalline MnOx was found in mechanical mixing catalyst. A larger surface area was observed on co-precipitation prepared catalyst compared to those prepared by impregnation and mechanical mixing. The strong interaction between MnOx and CeO2 enhanced the reducibility of the oxides and increased the amount of Mn4+ and activated oxygen, which are favorable for NO oxidation to NO2.展开更多

XRD and TEM results showed that cubic CeO_2 and amorphous MnO_x existed in MnO_x-CeO_2 catalysts. High temperature calcination caused the sintering of amorphous MnO_x and transforming to bulk crystalline Mn_2O_3, H_2-TPR and XPS results suggested the valence of Mn in MnO_x-CeO_2 was higher than pure MnO_x, and decreased with the increasing calcination temperature, The turnover frequency(TOF) was calculated based on the initial reducibility according to H_2-TPR quantitation and kinetic study. The TOF results indicated that the initial reducibility of amorphous MnO_x with high valence manganese ions was equivalent to the active sites for NO oxidation. It can be inferred that the amorphous MnO_x plays a key role in low-temperature NO oxidation.展开更多

The reducibility of Mn 4+ ions and reactivity of activated oxygen were favorable for the catalytic performances of NO oxidation.展开更多

It is found that C2H2-SCR is initiated and controlled by NO oxidation to NO2 over A12O3. Ce loading on A12O3 is almost inactive for NO oxidation below 350℃, since NO2 strongly adsorbs on cerium oxide, leading to the active sites being blocked, which was characterized by temperature-programmed desorption of NO and NO2 and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy after NO+O2 coadsorption over the samples. However, in the case of C2H2-SCR, Ce loading on A1203 significantly improves the reaction by accelerating the NO oxidation step in the temperature range of 250-450℃, since the nitrate species produced by NO2 adsorption is an active intermediate required by C2H2-SCR.
文摘In this work,a series of BiOBr nanoplates with oxygen vacancies(OVs)were synthesized by a solvothermal method using a water/ethylene glycol solution.The number of OVs and facets of BiOBr were tuned by changing the water/ethylene glycol ratio.Although the role of OVs in photocatalysis has been investigated,the underlying mechanisms of charge transfer and reactant activation remain unknown.To unravel the effect of OVs on the reactant activation and photocatalytic NO oxidation process,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy,so‐called DRIFTS,and theoretical calculations were performed and their results combined.The photocatalytic efficiency of the as‐prepared BiOBr was significantly increased by increasing the amount of OVs.The oxygen vacancies had several effects on the photocatalysts,including the introduction of intermediate energy levels that enhanced light absorption,promoted electron transfer,acted as active sites for catalytic reaction and the activation of oxygen molecules,and facilitated the conversion of the intermediate products to the final product,thus increasing the overall visible light photocatalysis efficiency.The present work provides new insights into the understanding of the role of OVs in photocatalysts and the mechanism of photocatalytic NO oxidation.

文摘Hierarchical TiO2 hollow nanoboxes(TiO2‐HNBs)assembled from TiO2 nanosheets(TiO2‐NSs)show improved photoreactivity when compared with the building blocks of discrete TiO2‐NSs.However,TiO2‐HNBs can only be excited by ultraviolet light.In this paper,visible‐light‐responsive N and S co‐doped TiO2‐HNBs were prepared by calcining the mixture of cubic TiOF2 and methionine(C5H11NO2S),a N‐and S‐containing biomacromolecule.The effect of calcination temperature on the structure and performance of the TiO2‐HNBs was systematically studied.It was found that methionine can prevent TiOF2‐to‐anatase TiO2 phase transformation.Both N and S elements are doped into the lattice of TiO2‐HNBs when the mixture of TiOF2 and methionine undergoes calcination at 400°C,which is responsible for the visible‐light response.When compared with that of pure 400°C‐calcined TiO2‐HNBs(T400),the photoreactivity of 400°C‐calcined methionine‐modified TiO2‐HNBs(TM400)improves 1.53 times in photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine‐B dye under visible irradiation(?>420 nm).The enhanced visible photoreactivity of methionine‐modified TiO2‐HNBs is also confirmed by photocatalytic oxidation of NO.The successful doping of N and S elements into the lattice of TiO2‐HNBs,resulting in the improved light‐harvesting ability and efficient separation of photo‐generated electron‐hole pairs,is responsible for the enhanced visible photocatalytic activity of methionine‐modified TiO2‐HNBs.The photoreactivity of methionine modified TiO2‐HNBs remains nearly unchanged even after being recycled five times,indicating its promising use in practical applications.

文摘The NO oxidation reaction was studied over MnOx-CeO2 catalysts prepared by co-precipitation, impregnation and mechanical mixing method, respectively. It was found that the co-precipitation was the most active and a 60% NO conversion was achieved at 250 oC. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brumauer-Emmett (BET), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) techniques were employed to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the catalysts. XRD results showed that amorphous MnOx or Mn-O-Ce solid solution existed in co-precipitation and impregnation prepared sample, while crystalline MnOx was found in mechanical mixing catalyst. A larger surface area was observed on co-precipitation prepared catalyst compared to those prepared by impregnation and mechanical mixing. The strong interaction between MnOx and CeO2 enhanced the reducibility of the oxides and increased the amount of Mn4+ and activated oxygen, which are favorable for NO oxidation to NO2.

文摘Environmental contamination such as soot particles and NO_(x)has aroused extensive attraction recently.However,the main challenge lies in the oxidation of soot at mild temperature with the assistance of NO_(x).Here,a series of core-shell MnCeO_x catalysts were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method and employed for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of soot in the presence of NO_(x).X-ray diffraction(XRD),inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry(ICP-OES),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),N_(2)adsorptio n/deso rption,H_(2)-tempe rature programmed reduction(H_(2)-TPR),O_(2)-temperature programmed desorption(O_(2)-TPD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and Raman analyses were conducted for identifying the structure of prepared catalysts and investigating redox properties of the core-shell mixed oxide,which shows excellent performance for NO oxidation and the T_(50)about 350℃for soot oxidation.Besides,soot particle is oxided at 304℃in the presence of NO,while T_(50)augments up to 340℃in the absence of NO.In the NO_(x)assisted elimination cases of soot,NO_(2)generated from NO in emission gas is generally reckoned as a facilitator which significantly reduces ignition temperature of soot particles.Possible catalytic mechanism over core-shell MnCeO_(x)catalysts is also proposed in this paper.

文摘Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2visible‐light driven photocatalysts,were respectively fabricated by hydrothermal and room‐temperature deposition methods with the use of BiBr3and NaOH as precursors.Both Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2were composed of irregular nanosheets.The Bi4O5Br2nanosheets exhibited high and stable visible‐light photocatalytic efficiency for ppb‐level NO removal.The performance of Bi4O5Br2was markedly higher than that of the Bi12O17Br2nanosheets.The hydroxyl radical(?OH)was determined to be the main reactive oxygen species for the photo‐degradation processes of both Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2.However,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy analysis revealed that Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2featured different conversion pathways for visible light driven photocatalytic NO oxidation.The excellent photocatalytic activity of Bi4O5Br2resulted from a high surface area and large pore volumes,which facilitated the transport of reactants and intermediate products,and provided more active sites for photochemical reaction.Furthermore,the Bi4O5Br2nanosheets produced more?OH and presented stronger valence band holeoxidation.In addition,the oxygen atoms of NO could insert into oxygen‐vacancies of Bi4O5Br2,whichprovided more active sites for the reaction.This work gives insight into the photocatalytic pollutant‐degradation mechanism of bismuth oxyhalide.

文摘MnO_x-CeO_2 catalysts were synthesized to investigate the active sites for NO oxidation by varying the calcination temperature. XRD and TEM results showed that cubic CeO_2 and amorphous MnO_x existed in MnO_x-CeO_2 catalysts. High temperature calcination caused the sintering of amorphous MnO_x and transforming to bulk crystalline Mn_2O_3, H_2-TPR and XPS results suggested the valence of Mn in MnO_x-CeO_2 was higher than pure MnO_x, and decreased with the increasing calcination temperature, The turnover frequency(TOF) was calculated based on the initial reducibility according to H_2-TPR quantitation and kinetic study. The TOF results indicated that the initial reducibility of amorphous MnO_x with high valence manganese ions was equivalent to the active sites for NO oxidation. It can be inferred that the amorphous MnO_x plays a key role in low-temperature NO oxidation.

文摘Oxygen-vacancies(OVs)play significant roles in semiconductor-based photocatalysis,such as elevating light absorption property,photogenerated carries separation efficiency,molecular activation,and photocatalytic activity.However,heat-treatment of semiconductors in dangerous H_(2)atmosphere is usually indispensable for OVs formation.In this work,C-doped Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(12)nanosheets were facially heat-treated in H_(2)O vapor(~2.3 vol%)mixed with Ar at 300℃to in-situ introduce OVs by the proposed reactions of C(s)+H_(2)O(g)→CO(g)+H_(2)(g)and H_(2)(g)+O_(Lattice)→H_(2)O(g)+OV.The formation of OVs,which was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR),can narrow the band gap,and enhance the photogenerated e~-/h~+separation efficiency on Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(12).Moreover,OVs-rich Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(12)nanosheets can facilitate molecular O_(2)activation and produce more reactive oxygen species(ROS),especially~1 O_(2),which greatly improve the NO to NO_(3)~-conversion efficiency with NO removal rate of~63%and NO_(3)~-production selectivity of~92.6%.The present work will bring new insights into the construction and roles of OVs in semiconductor-based photocatalysis.

文摘Catalytic oxidation of NO at room temperature was carried out over nitrogen(N)-doped sludge char(SC)prepared from pyrolysis ofmunicipal sewage sludge,and urea was adopted as nitrogen source.The effects of different N-doping methods(one-step and two-step method),dried sludge(DS)/urea mass ratios(5:1,4:1,3:1,2:1,and 1:1),SC preparation procedures(pyrolysis only,pyrolysis with acid washing,and pyrolysis with KOH activation and acid washing),and different pyrolysis temperatures(500,600,700,and 800°C)on the catalytic oxidation of NO were compared to optimize the procedure for SC preparation.The results indicated that N-doping could obviously promote the catalytic performance of SC.The one-step method with simultaneous sludge pyrolysis(at 700°C),KOH activation,and N-doping(DS/urea of 3:1)was the optimal procedure for preparing the N-doped SC with the NO conversion rate of 54.7%,whereas the optimal NO conversion rate of SC without N-doping was only 47.3%.Urea worked both as carbon and nitrogen source,which could increase about 2.9%-16.5%of carbon and 24.8%-42.7%of nitrogen content in SC pyrolyzed at 700°C.N-doping significantly promoted microporosity of SC.The optimal N-doped SC showed specific surface areas of 571.38 m^(2)/g,much higher than 374.34 m^(2)/g of the optimal SC without N-doping.In addition,N-doping also increased amorphousness and surface basicity of SC through the formation of N-containing groups.Finally,three reaction paths,i.e.microporous reactor,active sites,and basic site control path,were proposed to explain the mechanism of N-doping on promoting the catalytic performance of NO.

文摘NO oxidation with H_(2)O_(2)as the oxidant is a promising green denitration technology.However,the current metal oxide catalysts still have many disadvantages for this reaction,such as insufficient catalytic activity for H_(2)O_(2)activation,poor selectivity,and low stability.In this study,we employ atomically dispersed Co anchored on SBA-15 with Co-O_(4)structure for NO oxidation,which achieves a 90%removal efficiency of NO under low molar ratio of H_(2)O_(2)to NO(1.56),ultra-low temperature(80℃),and ultra-high space velocity(720,000 h^(-1)),representing the top-level performance among previously reported catalysts.More interestingly,our work reveals that by taking advantage of the uniform Co-O_(4)structure,H_(2)O_(2)is mainly directionally converted into·O_(2)^(-)at the Co-O_(4)site,and·O_(2)^(-)plays a key role for achieving the deep-oxidation of NO to produce NO_(3)^(-),which is contrast to the previously reports that^(1)O_(2)is the main free radical for NO oxidation.This study highlights the great potentials of single-atom catalysts for improving the H_(2)O_(2)utilization performance for NO oxidation.

文摘Graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4),CN)is recognized as the most extensively studied organic polymeric photo-catalyst for pollution control and energy conversion due to its facile synthesis and suitable electronic band structure.The aim of the present work is to explore the effect of precursors,such as urea(U,(NH_(2))_(2)CO),dicyandiamide(D,C_(2)H_(4)N_(4))and melamine(M,C_(3)H_(6)N_(6)),on the structure and photocatalytic activity of the ob-tained CN samples,denoted as UCN,DCN and MCN,respectively.The sheet-like UCN sample shows significantly enhanced photoreactivity in both NO oxidation and CO_(2)reduction compared to the bulk DCN and MCN materials.In addition,UCN demonstrates the ability to suppress the formation of toxic NO_(2)intermediate during the photocatalytic oxidation of NO.The improved photocatalytic activity of UCN can be attributed to a dual effect:first,its increased specific surface area provides more active sites for the photocatalytic reaction;second,it ex-hibits a stronger affinity for substrates like NO and CO_(2),which facilitates charge migration at the interface.

文摘NO adsorption behavior on H-ZSM-5 was investigated using a fixed-bed reactor and the adsorption mechanism was studied by temperature programmed desorption(TPD),in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and thermogravimetric(TG)analysis.Results showed that heat releasing area(HRA)occurred at the beginning of NO and O_(2) co-adsorption on H-ZSM-5,and after the disappearance of HRA,zeolites with different silicate-aluminum ratios showed different adsorption efficiency.The impurities in flue gas had a negative effect on the adsorption of NO and the influence could be ranked in descending order as follows:SO_(2)>H_(2)O>CO_(2).TPD and FTIR analyses suggested that nitrates were formed during exposure of zeolites to NO without O_(2) and different kinds of nitrogen oxides were observed after O_(2) was added into the system.An adsorption mechanism involving rapid oxidation of NO was proposed to explain the NO adsorption behavior under aerobic atmosphere.This work may be crucial for understanding the catalysis mechanism of metal ion-based ZSM-5 zeolites and the design of proper catalyst supporter.

文摘Due to the increasingly strict emission standards of NOx on various industries,many traditional flue gas treatment methods have been gradually improved.Except for selective catalytic reduction(SCR)and selective non-catalytic reduction(SNCR)methods to remove NOx from flue gas,theoxidation method is paying more attention to NOx removal now because of the potential to simultaneously remove multiple pollutants from flue gas.This paper summarizes the efficiency,reaction conditions,effect factors,and reaction mechanism of NO oxidation from the aspects of liquid-phase oxidation,gas-phase oxidation,plasma technology,and catalytic oxidation.The effects of free radicals and active components of catalysts on NO oxidation and the combination of various oxidation methods are discussed in detail.The advantages and disadvantages of different oxidation methods are summarized,and the suggestions for future research on NO oxidation are put forward at the end.The review on the NO removal by oxidation methods can provide new ideas for future studies on the NO removal from flue gas.

文摘La1-x Cax MnO3 (x=0-0.3) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized by citrate sol-gel method. The physical and chemical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brumauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NO+O2 -TPD (temperature-programmed desorption), activated oxygen evaluation and H2 -TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) technologies. The results showed that NO catalytic oxidation activity was significantly improved by Ca substitution, especially for lower temperature activity. The La0.9 Ca0.1 MnO 3 sample showed the maximum conversion of 82% at 300 oC. The monodentate nitrates played a crucial role for the formation of NO2 . The reducibility of Mn 4+ ions and reactivity of activated oxygen were favorable for the catalytic performances of NO oxidation.
文摘Photocatalysis is considered a promising technique for removal of pollutants from indoor air.However,the low selectivity and limited recyclability of photocatalysts in powder form currently limit their practical application.In this work,we reported the successful preparation of a monolithic tungsten oxide(WO3)/graphene oxide(GO)aerogel photocatalyst through a cost‐effective freeze‐drying method.GO not only acts as a macroscopic support,but also increases the catalyst surface area from 46 to 57 m2/g,enhances the light absorption in the visible‐light region,and raises the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs.The Obtained WO3/GO aerogel exhibited an outstanding visible‐light photocatalytic degradation rate of nitric oxide of 51%,which was 3.3 times that of pristine WO3 powder.In addition,the aerogel displayed excellent selectivity,with a generation fraction of toxic nitrogen dioxide of as low as 0.5%.This work presents a facile synthesis route to fabricate a monolithic WO3/GO aerogel photocatalyst with great promise for air purification.

文摘A series of La1-xCexMnO3+δ(x=D,0.05,0.1,0.2,and 0.3)perovskites and Mn-Ce mixed oxides were prepared.Their physico-chemical properties were systematically characterized and the NO oxidation activities of the catalysts were investigated.The La0.9Ce0.1MnO3+δhas the best activity among all of the catalysts,with a maximum NO conversion of 85%at 300℃.The characterization results indicate that the doping of Ce improves the properties of the perovsidtes in terms of the specific surface area,the average valence state of Mn ions,the number of reactive oxygen species and the NOx desorption behaviors.The Mn-Ce mixed oxide calcined at 500℃shows a similar NO oxidation activity with La0.9Ce0.1MnO3+δ.However,the activity of the mixed oxide obtained at 750℃decreases a lot,which results from the loss of active sites and active oxygen species.
