Denitrification activity test of a V modified Mn-based ceramic filter

In view of the characteristics of high temperature denitrification and low water and sulfur resistance of single manganese-based catalysts, a vanadium–manganese-based ceramic filter (VMA(14)-CCF) was prepared by the impregnation method modified with V. The results showed that the NO conversion of VMA(14)-CCF was more than 80% at 175–400 °C. At 225–300 °C, the conversion of NO can reach 100%. High NO conversion and low pressure drop can be maintained at all face velocities. The resistance of VMA(14)-CCF to water, sulfur and alkali metal poisoning is better than that of a single manganese-based ceramic filter. XRD, SEM, XPS and BET were further used for characterization analysis. The introduction of V protects the MnOx center, promotes the conversion of Mn3+ to Mn4+, and provides abundant surface adsorbed oxygen. The development of VMA(14)-CCF greatly broadens the application range of ceramic filters in denitrification.
