Abstract:

The effects of different hydrothermal aging temperatures on the structure and catalytic activity of NH3-SCR of K poisoned 0.4K-Cu-SAPO-18 samples were studied. The results showed that K poisoning had little effect on the structure of the samples, but the NH3-SCR performance was significantly reduced. At 350 ℃, the NO conversion rate of 0.4K-Cu-SAPO-18 was 65.88%, which was significantly lower than 90.85% of the unpoisoned Cu-SAPO-18 sample. The hydrothermal aging temperature obviously affected the structure of the catalyst, reducing active sites and surface acidity. As the hydrothermal aging temperature increases, the AEI structure of the catalyst was destroyed, the active species decreased, and the catalytic activity decreased significantly. H2-TPR results showed that the total amount of isolated Cu2+ and Cu+ varied from 66.61 and 1.32 μmol/g for unpoisoned Cu-SAPO-18 samples to 39.52 and 101.96 μmol/g for K poisoned 0.4K-Cu-SAPO-18 samples, respectively, indicating that isolated Cu2+ was easily converted to Cu2O in K poisoned samples. After K poisoning, the number of weak acid sites, medium strong acid sites and strong acid sites decreased, from 0.201, 0.103 and 0.302 mmol/g for unpoisoned Cu-SAPO-18 sample to 0.102, 0.086 and 0.071 mmol/g for poisoned 0.4K-Cu-SAPO-18 sample, respectively. The results of NH3-TPD and in situ IR showed that K competitively replaced isolated Cu2+ and H+ in the catalyst[K++Si—O(Cu2+)—Al → Si—O(K+)—Al+Cu2+, K++Si—O(H+)—Al → Si—O(K+)—Al+H+], and decreased the active and acidic sites of 0.4K-Cu-SAPO-18 sample, which resulted in the decrease of its catalytic activity. In the low temperature NH3-SCR reaction, Elye-rideal(E-R) and Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H) mechanisms were performed for both K poisoned and unpoisoned samples, and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism was dominant. However, the reaction rate of K poisoning samples decreased significantly.
