Abstract

Simple temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition was used to disperse iron oxide nanoparticles on porous Al₂O₃to create an Fe-oxide/Al₂O₃structure for catalytic NH₃oxidation. The Fe-oxide/Al₂O₃achieved nearly 100% removal of NH₃, with N₂as a major reaction product at temperatures above 400 °C and negligible NO_xemissions at all experimental temperatures. The results of a combination of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy and near-ambient pressure-near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy suggest a N₂H₄-mediated oxidation mechanism of NH₃to N₂via the Mars-van Krevelen pathway on the Fe-oxide/Al₂O₃surface. As a catalytic adsorbent─an energy-efficient approach to reducing NH₃levels in living environments via adsorption and thermal treatment of NH₃─no harmful NO_xemissions were produced during the thermal treatment of the NH₃-adsorbed Fe-oxide/Al₂O₃surface, while NH₃molecularly desorbed from the surface. A system with dual catalytic filters of Fe-oxide/Al₂O₃was designed to fully oxidize this desorbed NH₃to N₂in a clean and energy-efficient manner.
