Fe-exchanged zeolites were prepared by subliming FeCl3 and studied as catalysts for selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of ammonia to nitrogen in the presence of oxygen. Fe-ZSM-5 prepared by sublimation of FeCl3 at 700 degreesC showed excellent SCO performances at a very high space velocity (GHSV = 2.3 x 10(5) h(-1)). Over 99% NH3 conversion and nearly 100% N-2 selectivity were obtained at 400 degreesC. Among Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by subliming at different temperatures (denoted in parentheses, in C), the catalytic performance decreased in the sequence of Fe-ZSM-5 (700) > Fe-ZSM-5 (600) > Fe-ZSM-5 (500), Fe-ZSM-5 (400), Fe-ZSM-5 (350). Among different Fe-zeolite catalysts prepared by subliming at 700 C, the catalytic performance decreased in the sequence of Fe-ZSM-5 > Fe-MOR > Fe-FER > Fe-Beta > Fe-Y which are similar to the Fe-zeolites prepared by aqueous ion-exchange method. The activity for the SCR (selective catalytic reduction) of NO with ammonia was also investigated on different Fe-zeolites. The FTIR results supported the two-step mechanism: NO is an intermediate for N-2 formation, NH3 was first oxidized to NO by O-2, NO then reacts to the unreacted NH3 to produce N-2.
