Hollow structures have attracted great interest in many areas for their diverse applications. In this work, a new catalyst with an open and hollow structure (CoO@CoMnO) is designed for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by ammonia (NH-SCR). The as-prepared hollow-structured catalyst provides a high surface area and has thin shells.

In the present study, a metal-organic framework pyrolysis method without adding solvent modifiers was developed. By adding CO in the calcination atmosphere to change atmosphere ratio, FeO nanostructures are exposed with different crystal planes and evaluated their performance in NH-SCR reaction.

Regeneration is imperative to the long-term operation of the process, while the research is limited. In this work, Ce modified VO/AC catalyst (CeVOx/AC) with higher desulfurization and denitrification activity was prepared and the effect of cyclic regeneration was investigated.

To study the effect of calcination temperatures on the sulfur recovery catalysts, titanium oxide (TiO2), as sulfur recovery catalysts, were treated at four calcination temperatures of 300 degrees C, 500 degrees C, 700 degrees C and 900 degrees C. The structure of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that with the calcination temperature increasing, the particle size of the TiO2 catalysts increases but the surface area and total pore volume decrease.
