Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH3 over Mn2O3 supported with
different morphology of CeO2 Catalysts
Abstract
Three different morphologies of CeO2 supports (NP, NC, and NR) were
prepared by hydrothermal method and further Mn2O3 is impregnated on CeO2
supports using wet-impregnation methods, and their activity for NO
reduction using NH3-SCR technique is analysed. The prepared catalysts
and supports are further characterized through scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray
diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller
(BET). The catalytic performance of Mn2O3/CeO2-NP has shown the highest
conversion (76.06 %) compared to the other two catalysts in the
temperature range of 50 - 450°C.
