Abstract

γ-Fe2O3 catalyst showed higher catalytic activity than α-Fe2O3 in 150–300 °C. Both NH3 and NO x species adsorbed and reacted easily on γ-Fe2O3. However, NH3 adsorbed on α-Fe2O3 and then reacted with gaseous NO x . Gaseous NO x was more easily adsorbed on α-Fe2O3 than gaseous NH3, consequently, stable nitrates formed and blocked the active sites, which affected the SCR reaction badly.
