Abstract
The treatment of NO (x) has become an urgent issue due to it being difficult to degrade in air and its tremendous adverse impact on public health. Among numerous NO (x) emission control technologies, the technology of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using ammonia (NH(3)) as the reducing agent (NH(3)-SCR) is regarded as the most effective and promising technique. However, the development and application of high-efficiency catalysts is severely limited due to the poisoning and deactivation effect by SO(2) and H(2)O vapor in the low-temperature NH(3)-SCR technology. In this review, recent advances in the catalytic effects from increasing the rate of the activity in low-temperature NH(3)-SCR by manganese-based catalysts and the stability of resistance to H(2)O and SO(2) during catalytic denitration are reviewed. In addition, the denitration reaction mechanism, metal modification, preparation methods, and structures of the catalyst are highlighted, and the challenges and potential solutions for the design of a catalytic system for degenerating NO (x) over Mn-based catalysts with high resistance of SO(2) and H(2)O are discussed in detail.
