Abstract
Mg–Cu–Fe oxide systems, obtained from hydrotalcite-like precursors, were tested as catalysts for the selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of ammonia. Copper containing catalysts were active in low-temperature SCO processes; however, their selectivity to nitrogen significantly decreased at higher temperatures. The optimum composition of the catalyst to guarantee high activity and selectivity to N2 was proposed. Temperature-programmed experiments, SCO catalytic tests performed with various contact times and additional tests on the samples in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia showed that the SCO process over the studied calcined hydrotalcites proceeds according to the internal SCR mechanism and oxidation of ammonia to NO is a rate-determining step in the low-temperature range.
