Abstract

A novel and high performance silver loaded hydroxyapatite (HAp) catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by propene is reported for the first time. The catalysts with variable silver contents have been prepared and characterized extensively by different techniques such as XRD, XPS, BET-surface area, TPR, TPD and ICP analyses. The DeNOx activities of these catalysts are measured at reaction temperature ranged from 250 to 500 °C. The 1.5 wt.% Ag/HAp is found to be best among all the catalysts studied showing about 70% conversion and 60% selectivity towards N2 formation at 375 °C in oxygen rich atmosphere.
