SELECTIVE CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF AMMONIA TO WATER AND NITROGEN

摘要

A catalyst includes a platinum coating deposited on a silica support. The support has an average surface area between about 100 m2/g and about 120 m2/g. The platinum coating is between about 5 wt % and about 15 wt % of the catalyst. The combination of the selected surface area, silica support, and selected amount of platinum coating provides a catalytic activation temperature below 200° C. and avoids the formation of NOx.
