Abstract: | In order to improve a “Three Function Catalysts Model”, the present paper deals with alumina based catalysts containing cobalt and palladium for the NO reduction by methane. The deNOx temperature window was estimated by adsorption and subsequent desorption of NO in lean conditions. Two NOx desorption peaks were detected for both catalysts. For Pd(0.63)Co(0.58)/Al2O3, the two desorption peaks appeared at 205 and 423 °C, whereas for Pd(0.14)Co(0.57)/Al2O3, the maxima desorption temperature peaks were at 205 and 487 °C. In addition, NO oxidation was also studied to evaluate the catalyst first function. It was found that, the oxidation begins on Co–Pd/Al2O3 around 250 °C. On Pd(0.63)Co(0.58)/Al2O3, 8% of deNOx were found in the range of the second NOx desorption peak temperature (410 °C). During TPSR, CxHyOz species such as formaldehyde were detected. These oxygenate species are the reactive intermediate for deNOx by methane. |
