- A new catalyst WO3/ZrO2-Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 (15 wt% WO3/ZrO2:Ce0.6Zr0.4O2=50:50) has been developed for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. The redox component Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 was dispersed on the surface of acidic WO3/ZrO2 by the solution combustion method showing the best NO x reduction efficiency among the catalysts prepared by various modes of mixing of the components. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy and NH3-TPD. A NO x reduction efficiency of more than 90% was obtained between 300 and 500°C at α=NH3,in/NO x,in=1. The catalyst showed stable NO x reduction efficiency after hydrothermal ageing at 700°C. Sulfur poisoning promoted the NO x reduction efficiency at high temperatures at the expense of a reduced activity at lower temperatures, but the catalyst could be fully regenerated by heating in O2 at 650°C
