Insights into Co-Doping Effect of Sm and Fe on Anti-Pb Poisoning of Mn-Ce/Ac Catalyst for Low-Temperature Scr of No with Nh3

A novel anti-Pb poisoning Sm and Fe co-doped Mn-Ce/AC catalyst was prepared by impregnation method for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NO reaction. Maintaining the excellent low-temperature activity of Mn-Ce/AC catalyst, Sm and Fe co-doping remarkably enhanced the catalyst’s Pb-resistance, with NO conversion up to 77% after lead poisoning. Sm and Fe co-doped poisoning-catalysts exhibited large specific surface area and pore volume, and the crystallinity of the MnOx and CeOx reduced. The redox properties and surface acidity of the lead poisoning SmFeMnCe/AC catalyst were effectively retained, which could promote NO oxidation and NH3 activation, further benefiting the SCR reaction. In situ DRTFTS results indicated that the low-temperature NH3-SCR mechanism of all poisoned catalysts followed both L-H mechanism and E-R mechanism, and the L-H mechanism was dominant. On one hand, the extraordinary lead resistance of Sm weakened the damage of lead species on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst; on the other hand, the high oxidation properties and surface acidity of Fe enhanced the catalytic activity of the poisoned catalyst. Finally, a possible synergistic mechanism model of Sm and Fe co-doping on Mn-Ce/AC catalyst against Pb-poisoning was proposed
