Reduction Behaviors of Nitric Oxides on Copper-decorated Mesoporous Molecular Sieves

초록

In this Study, NO reduction behaviors of copper-loaded mesoporous Molecular Sieves (Cu/MCM-41) have been investigated. The Cu loading on MCM-41 surfaces was accomplished by a chemical reduction method with different Cu contents (5, 10, 20, and 40%). N-2/77 K adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and pore volume, were studied by BET's equation. NO reduction behaviors were confirmed by a gas chromatography. From the experimental results, the Cu loading amount on MCM-41 led to the increase of NO reduction efficiency in spite of decreasing the Specific surface area of catalysts. This result indicates that highly ordered porous structure in the MCM-41 and the presence of active metal particles lead the synergistical NO reduction reactions due to the increase in adsorption energy of MCM-41 surfaces by the Cu particles.
