Abstract

The efficient catalytic oxidation of nitrogen-containing volatile organic compounds remains a big challenge due to unmanaged production of harmful byproducts. Herein, a series of Cu-Mn modified hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolite catalysts with different pore structures were synthesized for n-butylamine oxidation. The physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of catalysts were investigated and analyzed in detail. Among them, CuMn/S-1 shows the highest activity (T90 = 279 °C, GHSV = 12,000 h−1), which is attributed to its higher porosity, higher surface acidity and superior reducibility. Meanwhile, it is found that the hierarchical structure and mesopore play an important role in improvement of N2 selectivity. Meanwhile, CuMn/S-1 also exhibits high stability and water resistance. The catalytic mechanism of n-butylamine on CuMn/SAPO-34 was investigated by in situ DRIFTS, showing that propanol, methanol and acetate are the main intermediates.
