High Activity SnO2/Al2O3 Catalyst for NO Reduction in the Presence of Oxygen

The novel sol-gel SnO2/Al2O3 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction NO by propene under lean burn condition were investigated. The results showed that the maximum NO conversion was 82% on the SnO2/Al2O3 (5%Sn) catalyst, and the presence of H2O and SO2 improved the catalytic activity at low temperature. The catalytic activity of NO2 reduction by propene is much higher than that of NO at the entire temperature range, and the maximum NO2 conversion reached nearly 100% around the temperature 425℃.
