Effect of TiO 2 crystal form on the denitration performance of Ce–W–Ti catalyst

Titanium dioxide supports, which were prepared by roasting metatitanic acid under different conditions, were used to prepare a series of Ce–W–Ti catalysts. The structure and denitration properties of the catalyst were studied. The results showed that TiO 2 had different crystal types (mixed crystal phases with different proportions of anatase and rutile) under different roasting conditions, and the denitration efficiency of mixed crystal was better than that of pure phase TiO 2 . Ce–W/200 °C-1 hTiO 2 catalyst exhibited a prominent NO conversion rate, and it can reach higher than 90% at a temperature range from 250 to 500°C. The large specific surface area, low content of rutile TiO 2 in the support, high content of chemical adsorbed oxygen and high surface acidity were favorable to denitration performance of Ce–W–Ti catalyst.
