Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite supported on SiC monolith with enhanced catalytic activity for NH3-SCR

Here, we developed a new kind of hetero-structural catalyst through the homogeneous growth of Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite onto silicon carbide (SiC) monolith by using a one-pot hydrothermal method combined with an ion-exchange process in a rotary oven. The new catalyst formulation was tested towards NH3-SCR, where the catalytic activity and stability of Cu-ZSM-5/SiC at T�>�350�°C appear significantly higher than those obtained with Cu-ZSM-5 alone. In particular, the NO consumption rate of the former is 7.5 times larger on the average than that of the latter. This remarkable enhancement of catalytic activity is ascribed to the very good thermal conductivity of the SiC monolithic support. This research work could provide the means for the future design of more active and stable monolithic Cu-ZSM5-based catalytic systems with even lower Cu loading than the ones used in present de-NOx applications.
