Deskripsi

Currently, the elimination of gaseous pollutants—particularly nitrogen oxides—has emerged as a significant concern. Among various deNO<sub>x</sub> technologies, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has gained prominence as the primary approach for NO<sub>x</sub> abatement, owing to its superior performance. In this study, novel low-temperature SCR catalysts were developed by regulating the pH value and doping cobalt based on a V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-MoO<sub>3</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> (VMT) catalyst. The results show an increased SCR performance with 82.8% and 91.1% for catalysts after pH (=10) modification (VMT-10) and (1 wt%) Co/pH (=10) modification (1CoVMT-10), respectively. H<sub>2</sub>-TPR, NH<sub>3</sub>-TPD, XPS and DRIFTS confirmed that the pH regulation transformed polymerization V species into isolated V<sup>5+</sup>=O, thus leading to an increase in the number of acid sites, which enhanced the NH<sub>3</sub> and NO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the DRIFTS study indicated that the NH<sub>3</sub>-SCR reaction over 1CoVMT-10 followed the E–R and L–H mechanism.
