Abstract: | Using TiO2 as carrier, CuO/TiO2 catalysts with different CuO loading were prepared by the impregnation method. The catalytic activities in NO+CO reaction
were examined with a micro-reactor gas chromatography reaction system and the methods of TPR, XPS and NO-TPD. It was found
that the catalytic activities were affected by pretreatment atmosphere, i.e. H2 atmosphere > reduction–reoxidation > 10%CO/He > reaction gas (fresh sample). NO decomposition was better by low-valence Cu
species than by high-valence Cu species, i.e. Cu0>Cu+>Cu2+. The XPS results indicated that Cu species on CuO/TiO2 were Cu0, Cu+, normal Cu2+(Cu2+(I)) and chain-structured Cu2+(Cu2+(II)) as –Cu–O–Ti–O–. The activities of Cu2+(II) were much higher than that of Cu2+(I), but both species were very unstable in the reaction atmosphere and easily reduced by CO, which accounted for the variable
activities of fresh catalysts with increasing reaction temperature. In NO+CO reaction, the redox process was a cycle of Cu+–Cu2+(I) at low reaction temperature but was a cycle of Cu0–Cu+ at high reaction temperature. As shown by NO-TPD, high catalytic activities could be attributed to the following factors,
e.g. oxygen caves on the catalyst’s surface after pretreatment with H2 and reduction–reoxidation, formation of Cu0 after pretreatment with H2, and increment of Cu species dispersion and formation of Cu2+(II) after pretreatment with reduction–reoxidation. |
