Abstract: | The activities for NO reduction with ammonia in the presence and absence of O2 have been examined over copper salts supported on activated carbon (AC) and carbon black (CB) which have been characterized
by application of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy before and after use in the reduction process. The beneficial
effects of increases in loading and the introduction of oxygen are demonstrated. On the most active catalyst and under optimum
conditions 100% reduction of the NO to N2 occurs at 180 °C and Cu, Cu2O and CuO on the catalyst are shown to be present at various stages of the preparation and reduction process with large crystallites
of metallic copper detected on the AC catalyst of optimum loading. Deactivation and regeneration of the catalysts is also
examined. A mechanism for the redox process is proposed.
