β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes the selective oxidation of ammonia into nitrogen over copper, silver and gold catalysts between room temperature and 400 C using different NH 3 /O 2 ratios. The effect of addition of CeO x and Li 2 O on the activity and selectivity is also discussed. The results show that copper and silver are very active and selective toward N 2 . However the multicomponent catalysts: M/Li 2 O/CeO x /Al 2 O 3 (M: Au, Ag, Cu) perform the best. On all three metal containing catalysts the activity and selectivity is influenced by the particle size and the interaction between metal particles and support.
