The Effects of Different Preparation Conditions of IR Catalyst on the Simultaneous Removal of Soot and NOx in the Presence of Rich Oxygen and H2O as Well as SO2

A series of Ir-supported catalysts were prepared by incipient impregnation method. The activity of Ir catalyst for the simultaneous removal of soot and NOx in the presence of rich-oxygen and H2O as well as SO2 has been studied, and the effects of calcination temperature, calcination time, calcination atmosphere, loading, carrier and precursor on its catalytic performance has also been investigated. Ir catalyst exhibits a high activity. With the calcination temperature increasing, Ir catalytic activity increases firstly and then decreases, and the optimal calcination temperature is 900°C. With the calcination time prolonged, Ir catalytic activity also increases firstly and then decreases, and the optimal calcination time is 3h. The optimal calcination atmosphere is 1.5vol.% H2/N2. Support material and precursor have a little effect on the catalytic activity, and the order is Ir/TiO2 > Ir/ZrO2 > Ir/SiO2 > Ir/Al2O3 > Ir/ZSM-5 and IrCl (CO)[P(C6H5)3]2/ZrO2 > H2IrCl6·6H2O/ZrO2 > IrCl4·4H2O/ZrO2.
