Investigation of MnFeOx/PTFE-based catalytic bag-filter materials for dedusting and denitration based on novel composite preparation technology

A series of manganese-iron-based (MnFeOx) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) catalytic filter materials were prepared by combining acid pretreatment and ultrasound-assisted coupling method to achieve simultaneous treatment of nitrogen oxides and dust. Surface acid pretreatment of the filter materials can improve PTFE’s surface roughness and provide more attachment sites for catalyst loading. The ultrasound-assisted coupling technology significantly improves the loading capacity of the catalyst and the bonding strength with the filter material. Compared to previous catalytic filter materials, the preparation of the optimal catalytic filter material in this study had achieved gratifying catalytic performance (NO conversion of 95% at 200 ℃) and could reach 99.95% filtration performance. In addition, the catalytic filter material also exhibited outstanding catalyst stability and mechanical properties of filter material, which made the catalytic filter material suitable for complicated working conditions. The functional integrated filter material has great significance for the collaborative treatment of multiple pollutants and could significantly benefit future development of air pollution control.
