Abstract:

Cobalt-containing mixed oxides(CAO) were prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrotalcite-like precursors with Co/Al molar ratio varying from 2 to 7. The catalytic activity of the CAO was investigated for the simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and diesel soot particulates by temperature-programmed reaction(TPR) technique in a fixed-bed flow reactor. The relationship between the catalyst structure and performance were clarified through ICP, BET, SEM and XPS measurements. The results show that all catalysts exhibit a nonstoichiometric spinel phase. Oxygen species present on the catalyst surface included lattice oxygen, the adsorbed oxygen and(or) the surface hydroxyl species, which acted for different mechanisms in soot oxidation. The catalytic activity was influenced by both Co/Al ratio and calcinations temperature. 4CAO-800 with the Co/Al molar ratio of 4 and calcinations temperature of 800 ℃ show the best activity with a low ignition tempe-rature(ti=290 ℃) and high selectivity to N2 formation(SN2/C=3.5%). During the NOx-soot reactions, a re-dox mechanism and a spillover mechanism may occur simultaneously for the catalytic soot oxidation.
