Deactivation of manganese oxide-based honeycomb monolith catalyst under reaction conditions of ammonia decomposition at high temperature
The synthesis of manganese oxide-containing catalysts on honeycomb monolith support and their performance in reaction of ammonia decomposition are described. The catalytic activity of manganese oxide-containing catalysts drops within a temperature range 800-900 degreesC due to a strong interaction of manganese species with the support. Ways of increasing of thermal stability and catalytic activity under elevated temperatures are described.
