Abstract
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by dimethyl ether (DME) has been investigated over various noble metal loaded Al 2O 3 catalysts. It was found that Ag loaded Al 2O 3 was much more active than Rh, Pd, and Pt loaded ones. Further improvement of the low-temperature performance of Ag/Al 2O 3 between 200 °C and 300 °C was attempted by the addition of various amounts of Ba species; an Al 2O 3 supported Ag (1 wt.%) catalyst promoted by 0.2 wt.% Ba was the most effective for DME-SCR. UV–vis spectra showed that Ag + ion played an important role in the reaction and the addition of Ba increased the amount of this active species. Furthermore, FTIR measurements indicated that the formation of such reaction intermediates as –NCO and –CN was promoted by the isolated Ag + ions, resulting in the higher activity for DME-SCR.
