Abstract

The NH3-SCR technology, based on CeO2-MnOx catalysts, is of great significance for NOx removal at low temperatures. Microwave irradiation, as an effective heating approach, can enhance the low-temperature NH3-SCR activity of catalysts. Herein, the structure-activity relationship of CeO2-MnOx oxides catalysts was explored under microwave irradiation. The MnOx catalyst and Ce-Mn(1:1) mixed oxide catalyst exhibited good low-temperature de-NOx performance in the microwave field. With the increase of microwave irradiation intensity and time, the structure and phase composition of MnOx material underwent significant changes. CeO2 played a key role in maintaining the structural stability of the Ce-Mn(1:1) catalyst. In addition, microwave irradiation affected the redox properties and acidity of the catalyst, regulating the catalytic performance. Suitable microwave operation conditions were conducive to increasing the number of acidic sites and enhancing the redox properties, which improved the low-temperature catalytic activity of the catalyst.
