This study investigated the effect of different CoO-based catalysts on the catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide (NO) and on nitric oxide (NO) conversion. The experiments were carried out using various reaction temperatures, alkaline solutions, pH, mixing conditions, aging times, space velocities, impregnation loads, and compounds. The results showed that CoO catalysts prepared by precipitation methods have the highest catalytic activity and NO conversion, even at low reaction temperatures, while the commercial nano and powder forms of CoO (CS) have the lowest performance. The catalysts become inactive at temperatures below 400 °C, and their activity is strongly influenced by the mixing temperature. Samples without stirring during the aging process have higher catalytic activity than those with stirring, even at low reaction temperatures (200-300 °C). The catalytic activity of CoO PM1 decreases with low W/F values and low reaction temperatures. Additionally, the catalyst's performance tends to increase with the reduction process. The study suggests that cobalt-oxide-based catalysts are effective in NO catalytic decomposition and NO conversion. The findings may be useful in the design and optimization of catalytic systems for NO and NO control. The results obtained provide important insights into the development of highly efficient, low-cost, and sustainable catalysts for environmental protection.
