Enhancing Hydrogen Diffusion in Catalytic Removal of Nitrate Using a Flow Reactor
TOPICS IN CATALYSIS(2023)
摘要
The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides and sewage irrigation in agriculture has caused serious nitrate pollution in natural water systems. Selective catalytic reduction of nitrate (NO 3 − ) with hydrogen (H 2 ) to dinitrogen (N 2 ) is a promising approach to address this public health risk, but the practical application of this denitrification technology is currently limited by the low NO 3 − removal rate and the high cost of palladium-based catalysts. In this work, we report an integrated thermo/electro-catalytic flow reactor for nitrate reduction. The innovative design of the solid–gas–liquid triple-phase interface enables high-throughput catalytic reduction of NO 3 − to N 2 . H 2 can be either supplied to the flow cell from an external source or produced in situ via the integrated water electrolyzer unit. The H 2 utilization efficiency of the reported flow reactor is increased significantly over what observed in conventional batch reactors. Moreover, a surface Pd enriched Cu@Pd catalyst was synthesized by galvanic replacement to boost Pd utilization. The Cu@Pd catalyst showed an unprecedented specific NO 3 − removal rate of ∼ 15.5 mM_NO_3^ - g_Pd^ - 1 min^ - 1 . Graphical Abstract
