Abstract

The catalytic reduction of
NO_x under different oxygen concentrations leading to different NO/NO₂
compositions has been studied in the presence of V3W9Ti and V8W9Ti catalysts in
a tubular flow reactor. The results have shown that increasing O₂
concentration leads to increase the NO_x reduction in low temperature
range [150-275 °C]. Slight effect of O₂ concentration on NO_x
conversion was observed at higher temperatures. SCR reaction also occurred in
the absence of gaseous oxygen but with low NO conversion indicating the strong
redox properties of both catalysts. Aged catalysts exhibited relative good activities
in NO_x reduction. This is probably due to the sol gel method used
for the preparation of the catalysts known to improve the catalysts properties.
