Title: Chromia-vanadia catalysts supported on TiO{sub 2}: Effect of composition on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH{sub 3}

Abstract

Chromia-vanadia on titania catalysts containing 8 mol% (Cr + V) were prepared and tested for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH{sub 3}, in excess O{sub 2}, in the temperature range 250--450 C. The physicochemical properties of the prepared catalysts as well as those of the corresponding single active phase-containing samples were investigated by specific surface area and pore volume measurements, X-ray powder analysis, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, laser-Raman microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, analytical electron microscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction experiments. The best catalytic performance was achieved by the catalyst containing 2 mol% Cr and 6 mol% V (TiCr{sub 2}V{sub 6}), while all the binary active phase-containing catalysts proved to be more active than the corresponding single active phase-containing catalysts is attributed to a synergy developed between the two active phases. This synergy is maximized in the TiCr{sub 2}V{sub 6} sample, where a new Raman band, at 971 cm{sup {minus}1}, has also been observed. This peak is attributed to isolated Cr{sup 6+} species decorated by well-dispersed V{sup 5+} species. Deposition of the chromia phase on the titania surface stabilizes the texture of the final catalysts against changes provoked by deposition of the vanadia phase.
