摘要

Mn/TiO2 catalyst is of high activity for low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. And the deposition of alkali metal would lead to the deactivation of Mn/TiO2 catalyst. In this paper, the poisoning effect of Na and K on Mn/TiO2 was investigated based on experimental and theoretical study. It was found that K had a stronger poisoning effect than that of Na. The bad performance of K-Mn/TiO2 may be due to its small surface area, high crystallinity, weak surface acidity, low content of Mn4+ and chemisorbed oxygen, and bad redox ability. The interpretation of the experimental results is supported by DFT calculations.
