Goals and Objectives of Research at BIC

Metal-substituted zeolites (Cu-ZSM-5) have high catalytic activity in direct decomposition of NO [1] and selective catalytic reduction of NO (SCR NO) with hydrocarbons [2], including propane, in presence of oxygen excess (2-3 vol.%) [1] Iwamoto M., et.al. Chem. Lett. 2 (1989) 213. [2] Iwamoto M., Hamada H. Catal. Today. 10 (1991) 57; Held W. et.al. SAE 900496 (1990) 13.

The nature of active sites in Cu-ZSM-5 are still a matter of discussion.

  • Isolated ions Cu2+ (Cu+)
  • Copper dimers with oxygen

bridges, [CuOCu]2+ or [Cu2(-O)2]2+

  • Copper-oxide clusters, CuxOy

  • Geometry optimizations and search of a transition state (TS) were performed with

the Gaussian-98 package [1] at the DFT level using the hybrid exchange-correlation functional B3LYP [2,3].

[1] Frisch, M. J.; Trucks, G. W.; et.al.. Gaussian 98, Revision A.11. Gaussian, Pittsburgh, PA (1998). [2] Becke, A. D. J Chem. Phys. 1993, 98, 5648. [3] Lee, C; Yang, W; Parr, R. G. Phys. Rev. B. 1988, 37, 785.

  • The following basis set partition scheme was employed:
  • The LANL2 effective core potential [4] with its valence shell basis set double-

(DZ) provided by the Gaussian-98 package was used for Cu and Al atoms. All atoms belonging to the (HO)3Al-O-Cu-O-Cu molecular cluster were described using the DZ basis set (B3LYP/LANL2-DZ calculations).

[4] Hay, P. J.; Wadt, W. R. J. Chem. Phys. 1985, 82, 270.

  • The charge and spin density distributions on the atoms were calculated using

the Mulliken population analysis. Open shells were calculated using unrestricted density functional (uB3LYP/LANL2-DZ calculations).

  • The excitation energy spectra were calculated for the system (HO)3Al-O2-Cu2-O1-

Cu1 using the same basis LANL2-DZ and optimized geometry. The theoretical spectra were calculated in the frames of DFT approach taking into account the time- dependent perturbations (TDDFT) [5,6].

  • These data are in good agreement

After removal of copper part from the catalyst:

  • the NO conversion decreases, especially at temperatures below 400°C,
  • specific activity is close to initial value.

Catalytic properties of Cu-ZSM-5 in SCR NO by propane

slide-36
SLIDE 36
  • 1. Series of Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by variation of ion-

exchange conditions used for their synthesis: pH of impregnation solution, concentration of precursor and the zeolite Si/Al ratio.

  • 2. Catalysts are characterised in SCR of NO by propane.
  • 3. On the basis of UV-Vis and ESR data the chain-like structures

О2 Cu2+О2 Cu2+О2 stabilised in zeolite channels are proposed. They are characterised by capability to easy reduction and reoxidation of copper as well as the ability to stabilise neighbour location of two copper ions having different valences: Cu2+-Cu+.

  • 3. Quantum chemical approach confirmed ESDR spectra.
  • 4. The low-temperature NO activation reaction scheme has been

proposed based on experimental and spectroscopic data.

  • 4. The experimental SCR activity growth with increase of exchange

level up to 75 - 100% can be correlated with the increase in the number of chain- like copper-oxide structures.
