Abstract
- • Nb/MnO 2 -S with the low-temperature activity and calcium-resistant property was prepared for NH 3 -SCR. • Sulfates species protect Nb active sites by combining with calcium on Ca–Nb/MnO 2 -S. • The redox property and acidic sites are reserved on calcium-poisoned Nb/MnO 2 -S. • Calcium-poisoned Nb/MnO 2 -S exhibits the superior activity owing to the efficient NH 3 adsorption. Reducing the poisoning effect of alkaline earth metals over catalysts in industrial fields presents a great challenge to selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with ammonia. Herein, we successfully introduce sulfates to the surface of supported manganese-based oxides (Nb/MnO 2 -S) for trapping calcium species, and Nb/MnO 2 -S catalyst with superior low-temperature performance and calcium-resistant property still exhibits excellent de-NO x activity in a wide operating temperature window (175–350 °C, over 80 % NO x conversion with a gas hourly space velocity of 60,000 h−1) after calcium poisoning. In this case, the addition of sulfates increased the quantity of chemisorbed oxygen on Nb/MnO 2 -S, thus accelerating the redox cycle in NH 3 -SCR reaction. Significantly, compared with calcium-poisoned Nb/MnO 2 , relevant spectroscopy analysis and theoretical calculations further reveal that sulfates species prefer to interact with calcium and release the Nb active sites, which maintains the efficient NH 3 adsorption and preserves a large amount of Brønsted acid sites over calcium-poisoned Nb/MnO 2 -S, thus promoting calcium-resistant performance. This work will provide a general strategy to develop calcium-resistant SCR catalysts with low-temperature activity for industrial applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
