Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts with different silica-alumina ratios for N2O, catalytic decomposition]

The Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared with H-ZSM-5 of different Si/Al ratios by wet ion exchange and chemical vapor deposition. Then the catalysts were investigated by XRD, BET, TEM, UV-vis and NH3-TPD technologies to analyze the iron states in Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites. The results showed that after H-ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared by chemical vapor deposition and heating wet ion exchange, the nano Fe2 O3 particles were uniformly dispersed with the sizes of 8 nm in the Fe-ZSM-5-25 (Si/A1-25). Moreover, there were more oligonuclear Fe3+ Oy clusters in the Fe-ZSM-5-25 catalysts than in Fe-ZSM-5-300 (Si/Al-300). The results of catalytic performance on N2O decomposition showed that Fe-ZSM-5-25 catalysts had higher catalytic activities than Fe-ZSM-5-300 catalysts. The Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by chemical vapor deposition achieved the best catalytic activity in N2O decomposition among the catalysts prepared by the three methods. Moreover, the presence of O2 only slightly reduced N2O conversion, while NO promoted the N2O decomposition. Finally, after reaction for more than 100 h, Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst showed no obvious deactivation under simulated emission conditions.
