Preparation and performance of aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics-supported catalyst for NOx removal

In this study, we report a new aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics-supported catalyst for the removal of [Formula: see text]. The influence of raw materials and sintering process on the structure and properties of aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics was studied. The composition and the structure of the catalysts were characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM-EDS, and XPS analysis, and the experiments of denitrification were performed to determine the influence of the porous structure and the calcination process on the denitrification efficiency. The results indicated that the glass fibers facilitate the formation of a uniform porous network structure within aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics, and that the optimal sintering temperature is 1000 ∘ C. Under the condition, the loaded catalysts were highly dispersed on the surface of aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics, which possessed high porosity and large average pore sizes. The aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics-supported catalyst exhibited excellent denitrification efficiency and catalytic stability, which is expected to be used for the treatment of [Formula: see text] in flue gas.
