Abstract
The 30CeO2-4WO3/TiO2 catalyst was prepared utilizing cost-effective cerium chloride instead of the traditional cerium nitrate as the cerium source in this paper. The structure, physical and chemical properties, catalytic performance were characterized. The catalytic performance and N2 selectivity of the 30CeO2-4WO3/TiO2 catalyst significantly deteriorate with increased the content of Cl-. Specifically, denitration efficiency of 30CeO2-4WO3/TiO2-0.007 % exceeding 80 % and 90 % were 225 ∼ 520 °C and 241 ∼ 504 °C, respectively, whereas the maximum denitration efficiency of the 30CeO2-4WO3/TiO2-0.161 % sample was only 79.83 %. The effect mechanism of Cl- on catalytic performance was discussed. (1) XRD and BET results show that Cl- can cause the expansion of the lattice of TiO2 and CeO2, thereby increasing its crystallinity and decreasing the specific surface area. (2) Cl- interacts with NH4+ to form NH4Cl, which subsequently reacts with CeO2 to produce CeOCl, leading to the obstruction of the catalyst’s micropores. (3) XPS, NH3-TPD, and H2-TPR analyses reveal that Cl- would occupy the oxygen vacancies, impeding oxygen migration and diminishing active surface centers. (4) In-situ DRIFTs analysis demonstrates that elevated Cl- concentrations diminish NH3 adsorption capacity and facilitate nitrate species formation. The accumulation of nitrates was a primary cause of the decline in catalyst activity.
