The catalytic properties of CuO/Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and CuO/Sn0.7Zi0.3O2 were examined using a microreactor-gas chromatography （GC） NO＋CO reaction system and the methods of BET （Brun- auer-Emmett-Teller）, TG-DTA （themogravimetric and differential thermal analysis）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and H2-temperature programmed reduction （TPR）. The results showed that NO conversions of Sn0.9Zi0.1O2 and Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 were 47.2% and 43.6% respectively, which increased to 95.3% and 90.9% at 6 wt% CuO loading. However, further increase in CuO loading caused a decrease in the catalytic activity. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm and pore-size distribution curve of Sn0.9Zi0.1O2 and Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 represented type IV of the BDDT （Brunauer, Deming, Deming and Teller） system and a typical mesoporous sample. There were two CuO diffraction peaks （2θ 35.5° and 38.7°）, and the diffraction peak areas increased with increasing CuO loading. TPR analysis also detected three peaks （α, β and γ） from the CuO-loaded catalysts, suggesting that the α peak was the reduction of the highly dispersed copper oxide, the β peak was the reduction of the isolated copper oxide, and the y peak was the reduction of crystal phase copper oxide. In addition, a fourth peak （5） of the catalysts meant that the SnxTi1-xO2 mixed oxides could be reductive.展开更多
