Abstract

The SCR activity of MO_x (M=Al, P, Si, Zr) promoted V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ was investigated before and after sulfation. In situ IR spectroscopy indicated that the VO_x active sites preferentially anchor on promoter generated surface hydroxyl. In situ Raman spectroscopy confirmed that all oxides are completely dispersed on the TiO₂ surface. In situ NH₃-IR spectroscopy showed that the oxides can increase the Lewis (AlO_x and ZrO_x) and Brønsted (PO_x, SiO_x, VO_x, WO_x and SO_x) acid site concentrations. The SiO_x and ZrO_x promoters had little effect on NO conversion, while the AlO_x and PO_x promoters and surface sulfation generally inhibited it. The SiO_x promoted catalyst was highly SCR active despite lacking Lewis acid sites, indicating that they are not vital for SCR. The N₂O formation activity of the catalyst was inhibited by surface sulfation and the promoters, correlating with the promoter and SO_x induced increase in the Brønsted acid sites’ strength.
