SO2 resistant antimony promoted V2O5/TiO2 catalyst for NH3-SCR of NOx at low temperatures

To get the low temperature sulfur resistant V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalysts quantum chemical calculation study was carried out. After selecting suitable promoters (Se, Sb, Cu, S, B, Bi, Pb and P), respective metal promoted V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunner Emmett Teller surface area (BET-SA). Se, Sb, Cu, S promoted V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalysts showed high catalytic activity for NH₃ selective catalytic reduction (NH₃-SCR) of NO_x carried at temperatures between 150 and 400 °C. The conversion efficiency followed in the order of Se > Sb > S > V₂O₅/TiO₂ > Cu but Se was excluded because of its high vapor pressure. An optimal 2 wt% ‘Sb’ loading was found over V₂O₅/TiO₂ for maximum NO_x conversion, which also showed high resistance to SO₂ in presence of water when compared to other metal promoters. In situ electrical conductivity measurement was carried out for Sb(2%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ and compared with commercial W(10%)V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. High electrical conductivity difference (ΔG) for Sb(2%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst with temperature was observed. SO₂ deactivation experiments were carried out for Sb(2%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ and W(10%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ at a temperature of 230 °C for 90 h, resulted Sb(2%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ was efficient catalyst. BET-SA, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur (CHNS) elemental analysis of spent catalysts well proved the presence of high ammonium sulfate salts over W(10%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ than Sb(2%)/V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst.     

Reactivity of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia

The physico-chemical characteristics and the reactivity of sub-monolayer V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ deNO_x catalysts is investigated in this work by EPR, FT-IR and reactivity tests under transient conditions. EPR indicates that tetravalent vanadium ions both in magnetically isolated form and in clustered, magnetically interacting form are present over the TiO₂ surface. The presence of tungsten oxide stabilizes the surface V^IV and modifies the redox properties of V₂O₅/TiO₂ samples. Ammonia adsorbs on the catalysts surface in the form of molecularly coordinated species and of ammonium ions. Upon heating, activation of ammonia via an amide species is apparent. V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ catalysts exhibits higher activity than the binary V₂O₅/TiO₂ and WO₃/TiO₂ reference sample. This is related to both higher redox properties and higher surface acidity of the ternary catalysts. Results suggest that the catalyst redox properties control the reactivity of the samples at low temperatures whereas the surface acidity plays an important role in the adsorption and activation of ammonia at high temperatures.     

NO reduction with NH3 over chromia–vanadia catalysts supported on TiO2: an in situ Raman spectroscopic study

In situ Raman spectroscopy was used for studying the ternary 2% CrO₃–6% V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst, for which a synergistic effect between vanadia and chromia leads to enhanced catalytic performance for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH₃. The structural properties of this catalyst were studied under NH₃/NO/O₂/N₂/SO₂/H₂O atmospheres at temperatures up to 400 °C and major structural interactions between the surface chromia and vanadia species are observed. The effects of oxygen, ammonia, water vapor and sulfur dioxide presence on the in situ Raman spectra are presented and discussed.     

Molecular structure and reactivity of the group V metal oxides

The molecular structures and reactivity of the group V metal oxides (V₂O₅, Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅) were compared. Their solid state structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, number of active surface sites and their chemical reactivity properties were examined. For the bulk oxides, the solid state structural chemistry and the physical and electronic properties are well established. The number of active surface sites and the distribution of surface redox/acid sites were determined with methanol chemisorption and methanol oxidation, respectively. These studies revealed that the active surface sites present in pure V₂O₅ are primarily redox sites and the active surface sites in pure Nb₂O₅ are essentially acidic in nature. Furthermore, the surface redox sites present in pure V₂O₅ are orders of magnitude more active than the surface acid sites in pure Nb₂O₅. Consequently, the catalytic properties of bulk V₂O₅–Nb₂O₅ mixed oxides are dominated by the vanadia component. For the supported metal oxides, where the group V metal oxides are present as two-dimensional metal oxide overlayers, the structural and electronic properties are not well established in the literature. From a combination of molecular spectroscopic characterization methods (e.g., XANES, Raman, IR and UV–Vis DRS), it was possible to obtain this fundamental information. Methanol chemisorption studies demonstrated that a similar number of active surface sites are present in the supported vanadia and niobia catalyst systems. Similar to their bulk oxides, the surface vanadia species possess redox characteristics and the surface niobia species primarily possess acidic characteristics (Lewis acidity). The surface niobia species was a very sluggish redox site during oxidation reactions (e.g., methanol oxidation to formaldehyde and SO₂ oxidation to SO₃), but significantly promoted the surface vanadia redox sites for oxidation reactions that required dual surface redox and acid sites (e.g., butane oxidation to maleic anhydride and selective catalytic reduction of NO_x by NH₃ to produce N₂). These new fundamental insights are allowing for the molecular engineering of group V metal oxide catalysts (especially vanadia and niobia). In contrast, the molecular structure and reactivity properties of Ta₂O₅ catalysts are not yet established and will require significant research efforts.     

溶胶-凝胶原位合成宽活性温度V2O5/TiO2脱硝催化剂

Selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide containing excess water and ammonia over vanadia–titania aerogel catalysts

A series of V₂O₅–TiO₂ aerogel catalysts were prepared by sol–gel method with subsequent supercritical drying with CO₂. The aerogel catalysts showed much higher surface areas and total pore volumes than V₂O₅–TiO₂ xerogel and impregnated V₂O₅–TiO₂ catalysts. Two species of surface vanadium in the aerogel catalysts were identified by Raman measurements: monomeric vanadyl and polymeric vanadates. The selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the presence of excess water and ammonia was studied over these catalysts. Aerogel catalysts showed very high conversion of H₂S without harmful emission of SO₂. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR), XRD and Raman analyses revealed that the high catalytic performance of the aerogel catalysts originated from their highly dispersed VO_x species and high reducibility.

Molecular structure and reactivity of the Group V metal oxides

The physical, electronic and reactivity properties of bulk and supported Group V metal oxides (V, Nb, Ta and Db) were compared at the molecular level. Dubnium is a very short-lived element, 60 s, whose properties have not been extensively studied, but can be predicted from knowledge of the other members of the Group V metal oxides. Bulk V₂O₅ possesses platelet morphology with the active surface sites only located at the edges: primarily surface redox sites and some surface acidic sites. Bulk Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅, as well as to be expected for bulk Db₂O₅, possess isotropic morphologies and the active surface sites relatively homogeneously dispersed over their surfaces: only surface acidic sites. However, the bifunctional bulk V₂O₅ was found to exhibit a much higher specific acidic catalytic activity than the acidic bulk Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅, the latter being almost identical in their specific acidic catalytic activity. The bulk properties of the Group V metal oxides were essentially transferred to the analogous supported Group V metal oxides, where the active Group V metal oxides were present as a two-dimensional monolayer on various oxide supports (e.g., Al₂O₃, TiO₂, ZrO₂ as well as Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅). For supported vanadia catalysts, the active surface sites were essentially redox sites, with the exception of supported V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ that also contained strong acidic sites. For supported niobia and tantala catalysts, as well as to be expected for supported dubnia catalysts, the active surface sites were exclusively acidic sites. However, the TOF_redox for the supported vanadia catalysts and the TOF_acidic for the supported niobia and tantala catalysts varied over several orders of magnitude as a function of the specific oxide support with the electronegativity of the oxide support cation. However, the TOF_redox varied inversely to that of the TOF_acidic variation because of the opposite requirements of these active surface sites. Surface redox sites are enhanced by reduction and surface acidic sites are enhanced by stabilization (lack of reduction). The current fundamental understanding of the Group V metal oxides allows for the molecular engineering of their metal oxide applied catalytic materials.

EPR spectroscopic characterization of DeNOx and SO2 oxidation catalysts and model systems

The industrial SO₂ oxidation catalyst VK69 deactivates at around 440°C in a 10% SO₂, 11% O₂, 79% N₂ gas mixture. In situ EPR measurements show that the deactivation is caused by the precipitation of V(IV) compounds. DeNO_x catalysts based on V₂O₅/TiO₂, the TiO₂ support, analytical grade anatase and transition metal-exchanged Al-PILCs (pillared clay) have been characterized by EPR spectroscopy and the catalytic activity of the catalysts monitored up to 500°C. Depending on the exchanged metal ion, a relatively large temperature range for the catalytic activity towards the SCR reaction was observed.     

Selective removal of H2S from coke oven gas

The catalytic performance of some metal oxides in the selective oxidation of H₂S in the stream containing water vapor and ammonia was investigated in this study. Among the catalysts tested, V₂O₅/SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ catalyst showed good conversion of H₂S with very low selectivity to undesired SO₂. Hydrogen sulfide could be recovered as harmless solid products (elemental sulfur and various ammonium salts), and distribution of solid products was varied with types of catalyst and compositions of reactant. XRD and FT-IR analysis revealed that the salt was mixture of ammonium–sulfur–oxygen compounds. It was noteworthy that V₂O₅/SiO₂ catalyst produced elemental sulfur and ammonium thiosulfate, and that elemental sulfur was principal product on Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ catalyst. Small amount of ammonium sulfate was obtained with the Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ catalyst. In order to elucidate the reaction path, the effects of O₂/H₂S ratio and concentration of NH₃ and H₂O are also studied with the V₂O₅/SiO₂ catalyst.     

Effect of V2O5 on the catalytic activity of Pt-based diesel oxidation catalyst

We investigated the suppression of SO₂ oxidation activity by vanadium oxide in Pt-based diesel oxidation catalyst using reaction experiments, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), infrared (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There was no interaction between Pt and S indicated by the XPS results. SO₂ was not adsorbed on Pt at room temperature indicated by the absence of peak arising from SO₂ in SO₂ TPD spectra. SO₂ molecules were adsorbed on the hydroxyl groups of TiO₂ and migrated to Pt particles to react with oxygen adsorbed on it. V₂O₅ decreased the adsorption of SO₂ on TiO₂ by the blockage of V₂O₅ on TiO₂.     

Photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol in aqueous suspension by using polycrystalline TiO2 samples impregnated with Cu(II)-phthalocyanine

A number of supported metal oxide catalysts were screened for their catalytic performance for the oxidation of carbon black (CB; a model diesel soot) using NO₂ as the main oxidant. It was found that contact between the carbon and catalyst was a key factor in determining the rate of oxidation by NO₂. Oxides with low melting points, such as Re₂O₇, MoO₃ and V₂O₅ showed higher activities than did Fe₃O₄ and Co₃O₄. The activities of MoO₃ and V₂O₅ on various supporting materials were also examined. MoO₃/SiO₂ was the most active catalyst among the supported MoO₃ examined, whereas, V₂O₅/MCM-41 showed the highest activity among the supported V₂O₅. Different performances of the supported MoO₃ catalysts were explained by the interaction of MoO₃ with the supports: a strong MoO₃/support interaction may result in a poor mobility of MoO₃ and a poor activity for oxidation of carbon by NO₂. The high activity of V₂O₅/MCM-41 was associated with its catalysis of the oxidation of SO₂ by NO₂ to form SO₃, which substantially promotes oxidation of carbon by NO₂. Addition of transition metal oxides or sulfates to supported MoO₃ and V₂O₅ was also investigated. Combining MoO₃ or V₂O₅ with CuO on SiO₂, adding VOSO₄ to MoO₃/SiO₂ or MoO₃/Al₂O₃ and adding TiOSO₄ or CuSO₄ to V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ improved the catalytic performance.

The structures of VOx/MOx and alkali-VOx/MOx catalysts and their catalytic performances for soot combustion

Vanadium oxides supported on γ-Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ were studied on their molecular structures and reactive performances for soot combustion. To investigate the effect of different alkali metals on the structures and reactivities of supported-vanadium oxide catalysts, they were doped into the V₄/TiO₂ catalyst which had the best intrinsic activity for soot combustion in the selected supported vanadium oxide catalysts. The experimental results demonstrated that the catalytic properties of these catalysts depended on the vanadium loading amount, support nature, and the presence or the absence of alkali metals. The spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR and UV–vis) and H₂-TPR results revealed that the higher activity of alkali-promoted vanadium oxide catalysts could be related to the ability of alkali metal promoting the redox cycle of the active vanadyl species. TG results showed that adding alkali to V_m/TiO₂ catalyst was beneficial to lowering their melting points. Low melting points could ensure the good surface atom migration ability, which would improve the contact between the catalyst and soot. Due to the alkali metal components promoting the redox ability and the mobility of the catalysts, alkali-modified vanadium oxide catalysts could remarkably improve their catalytic activities for soot combustion. The catalytic activity order for soot combustion followed Li > Na > K > Rb > Cs in the catalyst system of alkali-V₄/TiO₂, and the reason why it followed this sequence was discussed.     

Effects of microwaves on selective oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid over a V2O5/TiO2 system

Two series of catalysts, V₂O₅/TiO₂ and modified V₂O₅/TiO₂, were prepared with a conventional impregnation method. They were tested in the selective oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid under microwave irradiation. The reaction conditions were optimized over V₂O₅/TiO₂. It was found that in the microwave catalytic process the optimum reactor bed temperature of the titled reaction decreases to 500 K (600 K in the conventional process). The modification of V₂O₅/TiO₂ with MoO₃, WO₃, Nb₂O₅ or Ta₂O₅, which has no negative influence on the reaction in the conventional catalytic process, can greatly promote the catalytic activities in the microwave process, leading to a high yield of benzoic acid (41%). The effects of microwave electromagnetic field on the catalysts are discussed.     

Combined effect of H2O and SO2 on V2O5/AC catalysts for NO reduction with ammonia at lower temperatures

Combined effect of H₂O and SO₂ on V₂O₅/AC the activity of catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH₃ at lower temperatures was studied. In the absence of SO₂, H₂O inhibits the catalytic activity, which may be attributed to competitive adsorption of H₂O and reactants (NO and/or NH₃). Although SO₂ promotes the SCR activity of the V₂O₅/AC catalyst in the absence of H₂O, it speeds the deactivation of the catalyst in the presence of H₂O. The dual effect of SO₂ is attributed to the SO₄²⁻ formed on the catalyst surface, which stays as ammonium-sulfate salts on the catalyst surface. In the absence of H₂O, a small amount of ammonium-sulfate salts deposits on the surface of the catalyst, which promote the SCR activity; in the presence of H₂O, however, the deposition rate of ammonium-sulfate salts is much greater, which results in blocking of the catalyst pores and deactivates the catalyst. Decreasing V₂O₅ loading decreases the deactivation rate of the catalyst. The catalyst can be used stably at a space velocity of 9000 h⁻¹ and temperature of 250 °C.

改性钒铈基催化剂催化氧化烟气中邻二甲苯

燃煤过程中产生微量VOCs随烟气排放将导致大气污染。本文以Mn、Fe、Co、Cu对钒铈钛（Ce-V₂O₅/TiO₂）催化剂进行改性,并研究催化剂对烟气中典型VOCs中的邻二甲苯氧化脱除行为。研究结果表明,Mn、Fe改性分别在低温段和中高温段有效提高Ce-V₂O₅/TiO₂催化剂对烟气中邻二甲苯的催化氧化效率。烟气中的水蒸气、SO₂、NH₃、NO对催化氧化有不同的抑制程度,其中NH₃对催化效率抑制作用最强。不同改性催化剂对烟气组分反应不同,Fe改性Ce-V₂O₅/TiO₂催化剂抗烟气复杂组分中抗毒性最强。表征结果表明,Fe改性的Ce-V₂O₅/TiO₂催化剂表面积高、氧化还原性强,具有高催化活性与较强抗中毒性,可能成为一种针对燃煤烟气中有机污染物高效脱除的有潜力的催化剂材料。
