Summary: | In this work, the adsorption and reaction performance of various adsorbed ammonia species during the passive-SCR process were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-fixed surface reaction (TFSR),
in situ
diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (
in situ
DRIFTS) and kinetic tests. The NH
3
-TPD and DRIFTS-NH
3
adsorption results showed that the number of weak and strong acid sites in the Cu/SAPO-34 sample increased due to Cu species incorporation, which formed new Lewis acid sites. Further, a decrease in the number of moderate acid sites resulted from the replacement of hydroxyls by Cu
2+
. The TFSR results revealed that the adsorbed NH
3
species presented different SCR activity, which could be divided into active NH
3
species and inactive NH
3
species. In the low temperature range, a large amount inactive NH
3
resulted in lower activity and resulted in a long equilibrium process. However, the performance of inactive NH
3
was distinctly different at high temperatures. Furthermore, the
in situ
DRIFTS results illustrated the activity difference and migration between the two adsorbed NH
3
species. It was proved that the NH
3
migration rate from the Brønsted acid sites to Lewis acid sites was slower than the SCR rate at low temperatures, which might determine the SCR reaction rates. However, at high temperatures, the NH
3
migration rate was faster than the SCR rate of active NH
3
. In other words, NH
3
migration from the Brønsted acid sites to Lewis acid sites may be the rate determining step of passive-SCR lean period at low temperatures, while NH
3
adsorption possibly was the rate determining step of the passive-SCR rich period at high temperatures. On the basis of the above results, the present work gives an insight into the potential of Cu/SAPO-34 for passive-SCR applications in the future.
