LOW TEMPERATURE ACTIVITY OF THE COPPER OXIDE CATALYST SUPPORTED ON ACTIVATED CARBON FOR REDUCTION OF NITRIC OXIDE WITH AMMONIA

Abstract

Abstract The copper oxide catalyst supported on activated carbon showed a high activity even at the low temperature near 100 °C. The correlation between NO conversion and reaction temperature was really complicated, having both a maximum in the temperature range 120–150 °C and a minimum at the temperature near 300 °C. An appropriate amount of CuO supported on activated carbon was about 5 wt%.
