Poisoning of Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NO by K+ and its counter-ions (Cl- /NO3- /SO42- )

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NOx were deliberately loaded with various potassium salts (KCl, KNO3, and K2SO4) to investigate the influence of the counter-ions on the poisoning impact. Whereas K salts poisoning had only marginal impact ...
