Va. Sadykov et al., HYDROCARBON SPECIFICITY IN THE SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF NOX OVER CU-ZSM-5 AND CO-ZSM-5 CATALYSTS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 64(1), 1998, pp. 185-191
Transformation of surface nitrates under CH4 (CH4 + O-2) was found to
ensure steady-state activity of Co-ZSM-5 in the selective catalytic re
duction of nitrogen oxides by methane (CH4-SCR). For Cu-ZSM-5, such sp
ecies are mainly converted into NO. Relaxation of the coordination sph
ere due to oxygen and NO adsorption, stability of C,N-containing inter
mediates and activation routes of hydrocarbons (methane, propane) were
analyzed as factors determining catalytic properties of Cu and Co cat
ions.
