Abstract
Abstract In this research, the mordenite based catalysts for direct decomposition of N2O have been prepared and characterized for their direct decomposition performance at the operating temperature of 300–550 °C commonly encountered in the nitric acid plants tail gases. The zeolite catalyst was prepared by 2 steps: 1. Precursor wet ion exchange, 2. Precursor impregnation. The bi-metallic catalyst thus prepared shows an excellent N2O decomposition performance. The total conversion efficiency of Pt-Fe-MOR catalyst has been achieved at 390 °C. XPS analysis confirmed platinum on mordenite supports in two forms: PtO and PtO2 species interact with oxygen ions at the metal/support interface. Deposition of Pt as a promoter on the surface of Fe-mordenite results in a considerable enhancement of catalytic activity.
