Abstract
The reduction of NO by propene in the presence of excess oxygen over mechanical mixtures of Au/Al 2O 3 with a bulk oxide has been investigated. The oxides studied were: Co 3O 4, Mn 2O 3, Cr 2O 3, CuO, Fe 2O 3, NiO, CeO 2, SnO 2, ZnO and V 2O 5. Under lean C 3H 6-SCR conditions, these oxides (with the exception of SnO 2) convert selectively NO to NO 2. When mechanically mixed with Au/Al 2O 3, the Mn 2O 3 and Co 3O 4 oxides and, to a much greater extent, CeO 2 act synergistically with this catalyst greatly enhancing its SCR performance. It was found that their synergistic action is not straightforwardly related to their activity for NO oxidation to NO 2. The exhibited catalytic synergy may be due to the operation of either remote control or a bifunctional mechanism. In the later case, the key intermediate must be a short-lived compound and not the NO 2 molecule in gas-phase.
