Abstract: Since NOx emission requirements from stationary and mobile sources are more strictly regulated in the United States, Europe, and other countries; researchers have conducted many studies to improve the performance of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts to meet more and more stringent emission standards. Herein, we reported the synthesis of small pore zeolite (Cu)-SSZ-13 using N,N,N-dimethylethylcyclohexylammonium as the structure directing agent. The catalytic activity of the fresh and hydrothermal aged copper exchanged supported on SSZ-13 catalyst was investigated in the SCR of NOx using NH3 as a reductant. Cu-SSZ-13 possessing a high SCR performance (NOx conversion reached approximately 100% at 250oC), and high hydrothermal stability in combination with an easy synthesis route is considered to be a potential catalyst for SCR application. Keywords: Zeolite, SSZ-13, synthesis, SCR, NOx.

The Fe/(SZr) and S(Fe/Zr) sulfated iron-based catalysts, prepared by impregnation methods through changing the loading order of Fe2O3 and SO42− on ZrO2, were investigated on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by ammonia. It was studied that the existent forms of Fe2O3 and SO42− on the surface of catalysts were affected by the loading order. The Fe/(SZr) catalyst surface had isolated Fe2O3 and SO42− species and followed both the L-H mechanism and the E-R mechanism, whereas the S(Fe/Zr) catalyst contained SO42− specie and sulfate only and mainly followed the E-R pathway. These factors affected the redox ability and NH3 adsorption, which might be key to the SCR reaction.

The rising rate of pollution in urban areas has become a worldwide concern in recent years. Diesel engines are considered one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions, and they are responsible for several health problems as well. Diesel engines contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen. The reduction of Nitric oxides (NOx) emission from diesel engine exhaust is currently being researched by automotive manufacturers. After much research, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology was discovered to be effective in reducing nitrogen oxide emission from diesel engine exhaust. This paper is an attempt to explore the problems associated with the use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and compares selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with the latest technology named solid selective catalytic reduction (SSCR) for efficient reduction of NOx emission from the exhaust of diesel engines. The issue of contamination, malfunctioning, and freezing of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at low temperatures are the major problems associated with the application of SCR. It is observed that by controlling the quantity of ammonia slip, SSCR can give better performance in the reduction of NOx emission from the exhaust of diesel engines.

Abstract Zeolites, as efficient and stable catalysts, are widely used in the environmental catalysis field. Typically, Cu-SSZ-13 with small-pore structure shows excellent catalytic activity for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH3-SCR) as well as high hydrothermal stability. This review summarizes major advances in Cu-SSZ-13 applied to the NH3-SCR reaction, including the state of copper species, standard and fast SCR reaction mechanism, hydrothermal deactivation mechanism, poisoning resistance, and synthetic methodology. The review gives a valuable summary of new insights on the matching between SCR catalyst design principles and the characteristics of Cu2+-exchanged zeolitic catalysts, highlighting the significant opportunity presented by zeolite-based catalysts. Principles for designing zeolites with excellent NH3-SCR performance and hydrothermal stability are proposed. On the basis of these principles, more hydrothermally stable Cu-AEI and Cu-LTA zeolites are elaborated as well as other alternative zeolites applied to NH3-SCR. Finally, we call attention to the challenges facing Cu-based small-pore zeolites that still need to be addressed.
