Abstract

A series of nickel-manganese bi-metal oxide catalysts of different Ni/Mn ratios were prepared by a co-precipitation method for the low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 in the presence of excess O2. The NO conversion over different catalysts decreased in the following sequence of Ni(0.4)-MnOx>MnOx>> Ni(1)-MnOx>Ni(2.5)-MnOx>NiOx. The Ni(0.4)-MnOx catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity, 85% of NO conversion at 95°C and 100% from 120 to 240°C, among the catalysts investigated. The TPR, XPS, NH3-TPD and in situ FTIR results revealed that Mn4+ was the main active species for SCR reaction and the addition of nickel species enhanced the surface concentration and acidity of Lewis acid sites. A possible synergetic catalytic effect was proposed for the low temperature SCR reaction through the electron transfer between Mn and Ni ions.
