Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out to investigate the diffusion behaviors of NH3 and flue gases on CeO2-TiO2 (CT) catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. The influence of temperature, gas mixtures, and slit width of catalyst on the diffusivity of the target molecules were studied. The results showed that both temperature and the competitive diffusion of the target molecules substantially impact gas diffusion within nano-slits. The NH3 diffusion was demonstrated to have heightened sensitivity to temperature fluctuations. SO2 showed the greatest hindering effect in all of five gases. The negative effect on NH3 diffusion was greater when H2O existed in the form of hydroxyl groups. Increasing the slit distance of catalyst significantly mitigated this effect, with a decrease in diffusion impedance from 32.51 % to 5.01 % as the distance expanded from 2.5 nm to 7.5 nm. As for NO, a similar suppressive effect was observed when mixed with SO2, but the influence of hydroxyl groups was notably less pronounced compared to NH3. Specifically, there was only a decrease of 15.14 % at a distance of 2.5 nm, followed by almost no decrease when the distance was increased to 7.5 nm.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
