Effect of CuSAPO-34 catalyst preparation method on NOx removal from diesel vehicle exhausts

CuSAPO-34 samples prepared by hydrothermal synthesis (HS), pore-volume impregnation (PVI), and ion-exchange (IE) methods were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction with hydrogen, X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption. The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) ability over CuSAPO-34 for NOx from a simulated diesel exhaust was investigated through C3H6-SCR and NH3-SCR, before and after aging of the CuSAPO-34 catalyst. The results indicated that the sample prepared by IE had significantly better activity compared with those prepared using HS and PVI, especially in C3H6-SCR at temperatures below 300 °C. The activity of CuSAPO-34 in NO SCR was affected by the preparation method as a result of changes in the specific area (ABET), pore-size distribution, and the valence state of the active component. The active component of the catalyst prepared by HS was mainly Cu2+, whereas those of samples prepared by IE and PVI were mainly Cu+. Aging treatment can destroy the structure of the catalyst, decrease its surface area, and reduce the number of active Cu components on the catalyst surface, leading to a visible decrease in catalytic activity. The CuSAPO-34 prepared using the PVI method had the smallest decrease in NO SCR activity after aging, showing that it had better anti-aging properties.

Graphical abstractCuSAPO-34 catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, ion exchange, and pore-volume impregnation. The de-NOx activity of CuSAPO-34 strongly depended on the preparation method, and the sample prepared using ion exchange performed best in selective catalytic reduction in both NH3-SCR and C3H6-SCR.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
