A dual-functional catalyst with CaO as the substrate and Mn as the dopant metal was constructed using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption behaviors of NO, CO and carbon reduction reactant (CO2) were studied, alongside the reaction mechanisms for denitration and carbon reduction. Results show that CO and NO adsorb on the CaO surface through weak and strong chemical adsorption, respectively, with Mn doping enhancing adsorption for both. The Mn-doped CaO catalysts also exhibit excellent CO2 adsorption properties, making them effective decarbonization carriers. The rate-determining step for the CO-SCR reaction is the dissociation of NO, with Mn doping lowering its energy barrier by approximately 0.27 eV. As temperature increases, the free energy barrier of the rate-determining step reaction over the Mn-CaO catalyst gradually rises, while the absolute value of the free energy change for the CO2 adsorption reaction gradually decreases, demonstrating the catalyst's superior low temperature denitration and decarbonization performance. This study offers new insights for developing dual-functional catalysts for simultaneous denitration and carbon reduction.
我国的污染防治与气候变化应对方式已经迈入温室气体与环境污染物协同治理的新阶段[1].氮氧化物(NO x )是广受关注的大气污染物,目前的减排工作已经初具成效,但是总量依旧巨大,治理形势仍然严峻.NO是主要的氮氧化物污染物[2],同时工业烟气中通常还含有大量CO和CO2,目前有研究[3-5]发现,通过特定催化剂可以实现CO选择性催化还原NO,反应原理如式(1)所示:

一氧化碳选择性催化还原(CO-SCR)脱硝方法能减少CO,NO排放[6],相较于传统的NH3-SCR方法,减少了使用还原剂NH3的成本且无需考虑过量NH3造成的二次污染[7],具有极大的发展前景,而该过程最重要的部分为催化剂的选择.Chen等[8]研究发现Mn的加入提高了Pt基催化剂的BET(吸附等温曲线)比表面积,使还原峰和解吸峰向低温区移动,表明掺杂Mn元素可以增强CO吸附能力和氧化还原性能.Zhang等[9]制备了掺杂Mn的铁基金属有机骨架MnO x -Fe3O4纳米材料,结果表明,Mn是氧化铁的理想促进剂,可以减小晶粒尺寸,改善还原性,提高迁移率和晶格氧的数量,增强活性NO和CO的吸附能力.
