Study on denitration and sulfur removal performance of Mn-Ce supported fly ash catalyst.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main pollutants of air, which mainly come from the combustion of coal and fossil fuels. In this paper, with fly ash used as the catalyst carrier, the effects on the denitration and sulfur resistance of Mn-Ce loading sequence and molar ratio were studied. The catalyst was characterized and analyzed by XRD, XPS, SEM. The results show that when Mn-Ce bimetal is loaded at the same time, Mn ions enter the CeO lattice to form a solid solution of Mn-O-Ce fluorite structure, which makes the catalyst has the best denitration and sulfur resistance. The catalyst denitration performance increases first and then decreases with the increase of Mn-Ce molar ratio. When Mn-Ce is 1:1, the denitration efficiency is higher, the total conversion rate of NO is the highest and the deactivation time is the longest, the catalyst is resistant to sulfur performance is also the best.
