Abstract

The NH3-SCR has gained widespread usage due to its exceptional denitrification efficiency. It achieves high nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction rates within the temperature range of 300⁰C to 400℃. Nonetheless, most of the catalyst have a limited temperature range for effective NOx removal applications. For sustainable utilization of common combustion units, it has become essential to develop a catalyst which can provide a broader spectrum of temperature range for NOx reduction. This study is thus aimed to enhance the structure of ZSM-5 zeolite molecular sieves using tetrapropylammonium bromide. Copper and iron ions (total 3% weight) were incorporated to boost the reaction at temperatures of 180⁰C, 250⁰C and 320⁰C. The overall efficiency of NOx removal was above 81%, highest being 97.6%. The carrier significantly impacts the NOx conversion rate with increased copper ion content in the samples at medium and low temperatures. The Particulate Matter removal efficiency ranged from 90.1% to 93.1%.
