Abstract
Flue gas denitrification has been a worldwide topic to build a low carbon society. In view of its high efficiency, high stability, mature technology and large amount of flue gas treatment, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has been the most promising approach for removing NOx. As the core of the SCR technology, the catalyst has been attracting wide attention. In particular, developing a novel metal oxide denitrification catalyst with merits of high efficiency, low cost and being environmentally friendly has become an emerging research topic for environmental protection. The TiO2–CeO2 complex oxides reveal optimal catalytic performance and are considered by many as an excellent catalytic material for future SCR of NOx. In order to further enhance its anti-poisoning ability and optimize the catalytic stability of the TiO2–CeO2 complex oxides in denitrification, the promotional effect of a zirconium additive on the catalytic performance of the representative Ti0.8Ce0.2O2 for NH3-SCR of NO is systematically studied for the first time in the present work. Results show that zirconium additives not only dramatically improve the catalytic activity and N2 selectivity, but also significantly enhance the anti-sulfur ability. The promotional mechanism indicates that the improving effects are not induced by variation of specific surface area, but are caused by other reasons relating to redox properties, microstructure, and surface acidity of the catalyst.
