Abstract

The activation of crystalline and amorphous chromia surfaces by thermal pretreatment in argon and oxygen adsorption at 473 K has been studied by diffuse reflectance FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The formation of coordinatively unsaturated chromium sites during thermal activation is monitored by observing the evolution of Cr{double bond}O stretching absorptions both in the fundamental and overtone regions of the FTIR spectrum. On {alpha}-Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}, labile surface oxygen species are largely removed at 498 K, whereas on the amorphous chromia surface, labile oxygen is more tightly bound. As a consequence, coordinatively unsaturated chromium sites are generated on amorphous chromia to a lesser extent than on {alpha}-Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}. Upon high-temperature oxygen treatment, O{sub 2} is dissociatively adsorbed. Coordinatively unsaturated sites are occupied by the added oxygen, as manifested by an increase in the number of Cr{double bond}O oscillators. Fine structure in the Cr{double bond}O absorptions of the amorphous chromia is observed for the first time, and is tentatively assigned to various types of surface sites. Raman spectroscopic characterization of the amorphous chromia surface reveals laser-induced dehydration and creation of coordinatively unsaturated surface Cr{double bond}O sites, accompanied by progressive crystallization of the amorphous substrate.

Selective reduction of NO by NH{sub 3} over chromia on titania catalyst: Investigation and modeling of the kinetic behavior

Journal Article Willi, R ; Maciejewski, M ; Goebel, U - Journal of Catalysis

The kinetics and the parametric sensitivity of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH{sub 3} were investigated over a chromia on titania catalyst. The chromium oxide phase was made up predominantly of X-ray amorphous Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}. High SCR activity and selectivity to N{sub 2} was attained at low temperatures. The high selectivity is attributed to the absence of significant amounts of CrO{sub 2} and crystalline {alpha}-Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} which favor N{sub 2}O formation. The selectivity to N{sub 2}O increased with higher temperature. Addition of up to 6% H{sub 2}O to the dry feed reduced the rate ofmore »« less

Chromia supported on titania. VI. Properties of different chromium oxide phases in the catalytic reduction of NO by NH{sub 3} studied by in situ diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy

Journal Article Schneider, H ; Maciejewski, M ; Koehler, K - Journal of Catalysis

Chromia on titania catalysts containing different chromium oxide phases, ie., CrO{sub 2}, CrOOH, and Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}, have been prepared and tested for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia (SCR). The different chromium oxide phases (10 wt% total chromium oxide content) differ in their activity and selectivity to N{sub 2}. Supported CrOOH is oxidized to CrO{sub 2} under SCR conditions above 570 K. The highest activity paired with a high selectivity to N{sub 2} (>90%) is found for amorphous Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} supported on titania prepared by decomposition of CrOOH/TiO{sub 2} under mild conditions.

Surface structure of crystalline and amorphous chromia catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide. 3. Diffuse reflectance FTIR study of ammonia desorption from Broensted and Lewis acid sites

Journal Article Schraml-Marth, M ; Wokaun, A ; Curry-Hyde, H E ; ... - Journal of Catalysis; (United States)

Two types of NH{sub 3} molecules bound to Broensted acidic sites on the surface of the chromia catalysts, as well as two species bound to Lewis sites, are identified from the IR spectra. The oxidized surface of {alpha}-Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} is characterized by a high surface coverage of strongly Lewis-bound ammonia molecules, which desorb at temperatures above 400 K. In contrast, weakly bound NH{sub 3} prevails on the oxidized surface of amorphous chromia. The desorption of the latter species starts at 380 K and is completed around 480 K.

Surface structure of crystalline and amorphous chromia catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide. 1. Characterization by temperature-programmed reaction and desorption

Journal Article Curry-Hyde, H E ; Musch, H ; Baiker, A ; ... - Journal of Catalysis; (United States)

Amorphous and crystalline chromia catalysts used for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH{sub 3} have been characterized using temperature-programmed reaction and desorption of preadsorbed NO and NH{sub 3}. The acidity of the Lewis acid sites and the associated labile oxygen species are investigated using NH{sub 3} as a probe molecule. The degree of coordinative unsaturation of these sites is inferred from the reactions of NO. The effects of reduction, oxidation, and SCR treatment on the state of the Lewis acid sites and the labile oxygen are discussed. Lewis acid sites on crystalline chromia are more acidic thanmore »« less

{sup 15}N labeling studies of the reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia over amorphous and crystalline chromia in the presence and absence of oxygen

Journal Article Duffy, B L ; Curry-Hyde, H E ; Cant, N W - Journal of Catalysis

Isotopic labeling studies of the reaction between {sup 15}NO and {sup 14}NH{sub 3} have been performed, under selective catalytic reduction (SCR) conditions, for amorphous and crystalline chromia catalysts over a wide range of temperatures (140-350{degrees}C) and oxygen concentrations (0-1.8% O{sub 2}). At low temperatures, and with 1.8% O{sub 2}, nitrogen is formed largely by the selective reduction of NO and NH{sub 3} over both catalysts. However, crystalline chromia has a much higher activity for ammonia oxidation. Thus, at {approximately}200{degrees}C, the major form of nitrogen produced by amorphous chromia is {sup 14}N{sup 15}N, whereas, for crystalline {alpha}-Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}, nitrogen ismore »« less
