摘要: 氮氧化物(NOx)作为我国主要的大气污染物,通常采用氨气选择性催化还原(NH3-SCR)技术实现其超低排放。低温NH3-SCR具有能耗低、成本低等优势备,但在120 ℃条件下,MnOx基催化剂普遍存在稳定性不足和SO2、H2O中毒的问题。为提高MnOx基催化剂在低温、稀薄烟气条件下的脱硝性能,本研究采用沉淀-焙烧分解法制备了CeO2/MnOx催化剂。通过一系列表征手段,系统研究了CeO2对催化剂结构、表面性质及低温NH3-SCR性能的影响。结合第一性原理计算,从微观层面揭示了CeO2对催化机理的影响及其降低反应活化能的内在原因。结果表明,添加CeO2细化了催化剂微观颗粒尺寸,降低了主晶相MnO2的占比,显著提升了催化剂的弱酸位点浓度,提高了Mn3+/Mn和Oα/O比值,改善了催化剂的表面酸性和氧化还原性能。其中,Mn∶Ce物质的量比为10∶3和10∶5的Mn10Ce3和Mn10Ce5催化剂在120 ℃获得了98%以上的NO转化率和较好的稳定性,且添加CeO2使团聚态的MnOx得到分散和Mn4+分布浓度降低,这在一定程度上阻碍了高价态Mn4+对NH3和NO的过度氧化,从而抑制了N2O的形成,提升了催化剂的N2选择性。第一性原理计算进一步证实,添加CeO2可降低反应路径中各中间态的活化能,从而降低反应温度并提高低温NH3-SCR效率。

Abstract: Nitrogen oxides (NOx), as the main atmospheric pollutants in China, are usually removed through ammonia selective catalytic reduction ((NH3-SCR) technology to achieve ultra-low emissions. Low-temperature NH3-SCR has gained much attention due to its low energy consumption and cost. However, MnOx-based catalysts generally suffer from insufficient stability and are susceptible to SO2 and H2O poisoning at 120 ℃. To improve the denitrification performance of MnOx-based catalysts under low temperature and lean flue gas conditions, CeO2/MnOx catalysts were prepared by precipitation-calcination decomposition method in this study. The influence of CeO2 modification on structure, surface properties, and low-temperature NH3-SCR performance of catalyst was systematically studied. Combining first principles calculations, the influence of CeO2 modification on catalytic mechanism and underlying reasons for reducing activation energy of the reaction was revealed at microscopic level. The results showed that the addition of CeO2 refined the micro particle size of catalyst, reduced the proportion of main crystalline phase MnO2, significantly increased the concentration of weak acid sites in the catalyst, increased the proportion of Mn3+/Mn and Oα/O, and improved the surface acidity and redox performance of catalyst. The prepared Mn10Ce3 and Mn10Ce5 catalysts with Mn∶Ce molar ratios of 10∶3 and 10∶5 achieved a NO conversion rate of over 98% and good stability at 120 ℃. The addition of CeO2 dispersed the aggregated MnOx and reduced the concentration of Mn4+ distribution, which to some extent hindered the excessive oxidation of NH3 and NO by high valence Mn4+, thereby suppressing N2O formation and improving N2 selectivity of the catalyst. First principles calculations further confirmed that CeO2 modification reduced the activation energy of various intermediate states in the reaction pathway, thereby lowering the reaction temperature and improving the low-temperature NH3-SCR efficiency.
