Abstract: The effects of catalysts prepared from different calcined iron ores on low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO was studied in this paper. The research produced following two key findings: The active ingredient of the hematite is α-Fe2O3, and the NO conversion using this iron ore as catalyst is over 90% at 240-300 ℃. The main active ingredients of the calcined ferro-manganese ore are Mn2O3 and Fe2O3, and the NO conversation of this kind of catalyst calcined at 450 ℃ can maintain more than 97% at 90-270 ℃ and show high SO2 durability for the SCR reaction. Hence, it is a new kind of catalyst with high efficiency and stable catalytic activity for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3.

Keywords: iron ore, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), low-temperature, SO2
