The main phases in the clinker after sintering at 1350 °C are 12CaO?7Al2O3, 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 and 2CaO?SiO2 when the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 is 3.0 and the molar ratio of CaO to Al2O3 is 1.0. The proportion of 12CaO?7Al2O3 increases with the increase of Na2O addition when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 is from 0 to 0.4, while the proportion of 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 decreases with the increase of Na2O addition. Na2O forms solid solution in 12CaO?7Al2O3, which increases the volume of elementary cell of 12CaO?7Al2O3. The formation temperature of 12CaO?7Al2O3 is decreased by 30 °C when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 increases from 0 to 0.4 determined by DSC. The alumina leaching property of clinker increases obviously with the increase of Na2O addition.展开更多

文摘Ammonia Selective Catalytic Reduction(NHs-SCR)technology has been employed to eliminate NO_(x) from diesel engine exhaust,with Cu-SSZ-13 serving as the commercial catalyst.The greenhouse gas N_(2)O is produced as a byproduct when using Cu-SSZ-13 as the NH_(3)-SCR catalyst.To achieve synergistic control of pollutants and greenhouse gases in diesel engine exhaust,rational design of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts is required.In this study,the effect of Brønsted acid sites in Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts on the formation of N_(2)O was investigated.Mild thermal treatmentwas innovatively employed to prepare Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts with different amounts of Brønsted acid sites.EPR,H_(2)-TPR,NH_(3)-TPD,NMR were utilized to determine that the Brønsted acid sites were modified while the Cu species remained unchanged.Thereby an accurate assessment of the influence of Brønsted acid sites on N_(2)O formation could be achieved.Our results showed that Cu-SSZ-13 with more Brønsted acid sites produced less N_(2)O during the NH_(3)-SCR reaction.In the low-temperature region,the presence of framework acid sites facilitates the decomposition of the NH_(4)NO_(3)assisted by NO to form N_(2)and H_(2)O,reducing the formation of N_(2)O.In the high-temperature region,the Brønsted acid sites promote the decomposition of NH_(2)NO into N_(2)and H_(2)O.Meanwhile,the N_(2)O-SCR reaction can also be promoted by Brønsted acid sites,thereby decreasing N_(2)O emissions.This study suggests that in the future design and synthesis of Cu-SSZ-13 zeolites,attention should be paid to creating more Brønsted acid sites in Cu-SSZ-13 to reduce N_(2)O emissions.

文摘The formation characteristics of calcium aluminates in the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system with sodium oxide was investigated by XRD, SEM-EDS and DSC-TG technologies. The main phases in the clinker after sintering at 1350 °C are 12CaO?7Al2O3, 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 and 2CaO?SiO2 when the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 is 3.0 and the molar ratio of CaO to Al2O3 is 1.0. The proportion of 12CaO?7Al2O3 increases with the increase of Na2O addition when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 is from 0 to 0.4, while the proportion of 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 decreases with the increase of Na2O addition. Na2O forms solid solution in 12CaO?7Al2O3, which increases the volume of elementary cell of 12CaO?7Al2O3. The formation temperature of 12CaO?7Al2O3 is decreased by 30 °C when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 increases from 0 to 0.4 determined by DSC. The alumina leaching property of clinker increases obviously with the increase of Na2O addition.
