Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH3 over Mn2O3 supported with different morphology of CeO2 Catalysts
Three different morphologies of CeO2 supports (NP, NC, and NR) were prepared by hydrothermal method and further Mn2O3 is impregnated on CeO2 supports using wet-impregnation methods, and their activity for NO reduction using NH3-SCR technique is analysed. The prepared catalysts and supports are further characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). The catalytic performance of Mn2O3/CeO2-NP has shown the highest conversion (76.06 %) compared to the other two catalysts in the temperature range of 50 - 450°C.
