N 2 O decomposition over Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by the solid-state ion exchange between NH 4 -ZSM-5 and copper( ii ) coordination polymer | Synapse
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts in decomposing N2O.
Synthesis of Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts via solid-state ion exchange with ammonium-ZSM-5
Preparation of catalysts at varying copper exchange levels (10% to 150%)
Characterization of catalysts using XRD diffractograms
XRD diffractograms illustrate structural differences between pure NH4-ZSM-5 and Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts
Increased copper exchange levels affect catalyst properties and performance in N2O decomposition.
Abstract
XRD diffractograms obtained for the calcined pure NH 4 -ZSM-5 (a) and the different Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts with copper exchange levels of 10% (b), 25% (c), 50% (d), 75% (e), 100% (f) and 150% (g).
