Abstract

In this study, series of CexZryMnzO2/r-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and explored to co-purification of NOx and Hg0 at low temperature. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were investigated by XRD, BET, FTIR, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, and XPS. The experimental results showed that 10% Ce0.2Zr0.3Mn0.5O2/r-Al2O3 yielded higher conversion on co-purification of NOx and Hg0 than the other prepared catalysts at low temperature, especially at 200-300 °C. 91% and 97% convert rate of NOx and Hg0 were obtained, respectively, when 10% Ce0.2Zr0.3Mn0.5O2/r-Al2O3 catalyst was used at 250 °C. Moreover, the presence of H2O slightly decreased the removal of NOx and Hg0 owing to the competitive adsorption of H2O and Hg0. When SO2 was added, the removal of Hg0 first increased slightly and then presented a decrease due to the generation of SO3 and (NH4)2SO4. The results of NH3-TPD indicated that the strong acid of 10% Ce0.2Zr0.3Mn0.5O2/r-Al2O3 improved its high-temperature activity. XPS and H2-TPR results showed there were high-valence Mn and Ce species in 10% Ce0.2Zr0.3Mn0.5O2/r-Al2O3, which could effectively promote the removal of NOx and Hg0. Therefore, the mechanisms of Hg0 and NOx removal were proposed as Hg (ad...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
