Preparation of MnO2/MWCNTs Catalysts by a Redox Method and Their Activity in Low-temperature SCR

doi:10.15541/jim20160146

Abstract

Abstract:

Pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were modified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Afterwards, a series of MnO₂/MWCNTs were prepared via a redox method and used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO_x at 80-180℃. Structural properties and catalytic performance were investigated by specific surface area measurements (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), filed emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). The characterization results indicate that the nanoflaky MnO₂ highly disperse on MWCNTs. The results show that the low-temperature SCR activities of MnO₂/MWCNTs catalysts are 85%-100% at 140-180℃ at a weight hourly space velocity of 210 L/(g_cat·h), higher than that of catalyst fabricated via the wet impregnation method. The 10% MnO₂/MWCNTs catalyst displays first-rate SCR activity, which is attributed to its low crystallinity, high concentrations of Mn⁴⁺ and oxygen absorbtion onto the catalyst surface, as well as excellent reducibility. Additionally, compared to the MnO_x/MWCNTs catalyst, the 10% MnO₂/MWCNTs catalyst exhibits higher resistance to H₂O and SO₂.

Key words: sodium dodecyl sulfate, selective catalytic reduction, nitrogen oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotube, manganese oxide
