TiO2 supported Ce-Mo catalyst (Ce-Mo/TiO2) were employed for the first time to simultaneously oxidize elemental mercury (Hg) and reduce nitrogen monoxide (NO) under simulated SCR atmosphere. The combination of molybdenum oxides and cerium oxides exhibits obvious synergy for Hg-0 oxidation and NO reduction. Ce-MoiTiO(2)-0.3 catalyst exhibited an excellent Hg-0 oxidation and NO reduction efficiencies of over 90% at above 250 degrees C corresponding to gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 119,000 h(-1) (NO reduction) and 1,190,000 h(-1) (Hg-0 oxidation). Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area was not the dominating factor affecting the Ce-MoiTiO(2) performance. Well-dispersion of active species, abundant chemisorbed oxygen and large surface oxygen capacity were responsible for its high catalytic activity. The presence of Hg-0 exhibited a negligible effect on NO reduction. Low-concentration of NO inhibited the Hg-0 oxidation while a relatively high concentration had a promotional effect inversely due to abundant NO2. NH3 consumed surface oxygen and competed to adsorb with Hg resulting in the deactivation of Hg-0 oxidation while an excellent recovery was observed after simultaneous cutting off NH3 and introduction of O-2. In addition, Ce-MoiTiO(2)-0.3 catalyst also presented an excellent resistance to SO2 and H2O poisoning and a good stability and recyclability. The possible mechanism for simultaneous NO reduction and Hg oxidation was proposed for Ce-MoiTiO(2) catalysts. (C) 2018 Energy Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
