Va. Sadykov et al., A ROLE OF SURFACE NITRITE AND NITRATE COMPLEXES IN NOX SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION BY HYDROCARBONS UNDER OXYGEN EXCESS, Catalysis letters, 37(3-4), 1996, pp. 157-162
NO adsorption over three types of catalytic systems, such as cation-ex
changed zeolites, transition metal oxides supported on gamma-Al2O3, an
d partially stabilised tetragonal ZrO2 (PSZ) was studied by using the
TPD method. NO forms several surface complexes having different desorp
tion temperatures. TPD results compared with catalytic properties of t
hese systems in the selective reduction of NOx by propane under oxygen
excess showed that strongly bound nitrites and nitrates appeared to b
e true intermediates in this reaction.
