Abstract:In order to systematically study the effect of silica-alumina ratio on various properties of Cu/HZSM-5, two catalysts of Cu/HZSM-5 and Cu/ZSM-5, being supported on HZSM-5 with the silica to alumina ratios of 27, 50 and 117, for N2O catalytic decomposition were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and ion exchange method, and the active component was CuO. The difference in catalytic activity among the catalysts prepared by these two methods was compared through catalyst activity evaluation, X-ray fluorescence spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by specific surface area pore size analyzer (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). The influence of silica-alumina ratio of supporter HZSM-5 on the structure, specific surface area, morphology, the number of acid sites and reducibility of CuO were analyzed. The catalyst reaction activity results showed that Cu8/HZSM-5 catalyst with silica-alumina ratio of 27 presented the best activity, which was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The temperature of complete catalytic decomposition of N2O was about 400 °C. The results of hydrothermal stability and life test experiments revealed that Cu8/HZSM-5 with a silica to alumina ratio of 27 had the optimum hydrothermal stability. All Cu8/HZSM-5 catalysts showed desirable thermal stability. Through the activity evaluation and various characterization results of Cu/HZSM-5, it was shown that in a certain range, the lower the Si-Al ratio is, the better the catalyst activity is. Through the activity evaluation and various characterization results of Cu/HZSM-5, it was shown that in a certain range, the lower the Si-Al ratio is, the better the catalyst activity is. Key words:nitrous oxide/ catalytic decomposition/ catalyst/ HZSM-5/ ratio of silica to alumina/ Cu species.
