Effect of the addition of Mo and Na to Pt catalysts on the selective reduction of NO
The selective reduction of NOx by reductants such as C3H6 and CO in oxidizing feedstreams simulated exhaust from automobile engine and three-way behavior around the stoichiometric point have been investigated on trimetallic PtMoNa/SiO2 catalysts, over a wide range of temperatures compared with bimetallic PtMo/SiO2 catalyst and monometallic Pt/SiO2 catalyst. The simultaneous addition of Mo and Na to Pt catalysts has been found to improve the following reaction characteristics on selective reduction of NOx and three-way activity of conventional Pt catalyst. The temperature window on selective reduction of NOx on trimetallic PtMoNa/SiO2 catalysts was found to be wider and to shift at higher temperature than that on bimetallic PtMo/SiO2 and monometallic Pt/SiO2 catalysts under lean static conditions. The redox ratio window, in which three-way activity occurred on trimetallic PtMoNa/SiO2 catalysts, was also found to be wider than that on bimetallic PtMo/SiO2 catalysts and monometallic Pt/SiO2 around stoichiometric point. On the other hand, XPS, IR and CO adsorption data indicated that the oxidation of Pt on PtMoNa/SiO2 catalysts was depressed by the added Mo and Na even under excess oxygen conditions, so that the reaction characteristics of trimetallic PtMoNa/SiO2 catalysts was improved.
