Ferrierite and Its Delaminated Forms Modified with Copper as Effective Catalysts for NH3-SCO Process
[EN] Ferrierites and their delaminated forms (ITQ-6), containing aluminum or titanium in the zeolite framework, were synthetized and modified with copper by an ion-exchange method. The obtained samples were characterized with respect to their chemical composition (ICP-OES), structure (XRD, UV-Vis DRS), textural parameters (N-2-sorption), surface acidity (NH3-TPD), form and reducibility of deposited copper species (UV-Vis DRS and H-2-TPR). Ferrierites and delaminated ITQ-6 zeolites modified with copper were studied as catalysts for the selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia to dinitrogen (NH3-SCO). It was shown that aggregated copper oxide species, which were preferentially formed on Ti-zeolites, were catalytically active in direct low-temperature ammonia oxidation to NO, while copper introduced into Al-zeolites was present mainly in the form of monomeric copper cations catalytically active in selective reduction of NO by ammonia to dinitrogen. It was postulated that ammonia oxidation in the presence of the studied catalysts proceeds according to the internal-selective catalytic reduction mechanism (i-SCR) and therefore the suitable ratio between aggregated copper oxide species and monomeric copper cations is necessary to obtain active and selective catalysts for the NH3-SCO process. Cu/Al-ITQ-6 presented the best catalytic properties possibly due to the most optimal ratio of these copper species.The studies financed by National Science Centre-Poland [2016/21/B/ST5/00242].

Ferrierite and Its Delaminated and Silica-Intercalated Forms Modified with Copper as Effective Catalysts for NH3-SCR Process
[EN] The main goal of the study was the development of effective catalysts for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia (NH3-SCR), based on ferrierite (FER) and its delaminated (ITQ-6) and silica-intercalated (ITQ-36) forms modified with copper. The copper exchange zeolitic samples, with the intended framework Si/Al ratio of 30 and 50, were synthetized and characterized with respect to their chemical composition (ICP-OES), structure (XRD), texture (low-temperature N(2)adsorption), form and aggregation of deposited copper species (UV-vis-DRS), surface acidity (NH3-TPD) and reducibility (H-2-TPR). The samples of the Cu-ITQ-6 and Cu-ITQ-36 series were found to be significantly more active NH3-SCR catalysts compared to Cu-FER. The activity of these catalysts in low-temperature NH3-SCR was assigned to the significant contribution of highly dispersed copper species (monomeric cations and small oligomeric species) catalytically active in the oxidation of NO to NO(2,)which is necessary for fast-SCR. The zeolitic catalysts, with the higher framework alumina content, were more effective in high-temperature NH3-SCR due to their limited catalytic activity in the side reaction of ammonia oxidation.This work was supported by the National Science Centre-Poland [2016/21/B/ST5/00242].Swies, A.; Kowalczyk, A.; Rutkowska, M.; Díaz Morales, UM.; Palomares Gimeno, AE.; Chmielarz, L.

Catalytic oxidation of organic sulfides by H2O2 in the presence of titanosilicate zeolites
[EN] Titanosilicate ferrierite zeolite (FER) and its delaminated form (ITQ-6), with various Si/Ti molar ratios, were synthetized and tested as catalysts for diphenyl sulfide (Ph2S) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) oxidation with H2O2. The zeolites were characterized with respect to their chemical composition (ICP-OES), structure (XRD, UV-vis DRS) and texture (low-temperature N-2 adsorption-desorption). Titanium in the FER and ITQ-6 samples was present mainly in the zeolite framework with a significant contribution of titanium in the extraframework positions. Titanosilicate zeolites of FER and ITQ-6 series were found to be active catalysts of diphenyl and dimethyl sulfides oxidation by H2O2 to sulfoxides (Ph2SO/DMSO) and sulfones (Ph2SO2/DMSO2). The efficiency of these reactions depends on the porous structure of the zeolite catalysts - conversion of larger molecules of diphenyl sulfide was significantly higher in the presence of delaminated zeolite Ti-ITQ-6 due to the possibility of the interlayer mesopores penetration by reactants. On the other side diphenyl sulfide molecules are too large to be accommodated into micropores of FER zeolite. The efficiency of dimethyl sulfide conversion, due to relatively small size of this molecule, was similar in the presence of Ti-FER and Ti-ITQ-6 zeolites. For all catalysts, the organic sulfide conversion was significantly intensified under UV irradiation. It was suggested that Ti cations in the zeolite framework, as well as in the extraframework, species play a role of the single site photocatalysts active in the formation of hydroxyl radicals, which are known to be effective oxidants of the organic sulfides.The studies were carried out in the frame of project 2016/21/B/ST5/00242 from the National Science Centre (Poland).

Ferrierite and Its Delaminated and Silica-Intercalated Forms Modified with Copper as Eective Catalysts for NH3-SCR Process
The main goal of the study was the development of eective catalysts for the low-temperature
selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia (NH3-SCR), based on ferrierite (FER) and its
delaminated (ITQ-6) and silica-intercalated (ITQ-36) forms modified with copper. The copper
exchange zeolitic samples, with the intended framework Si/Al ratio of 30 and 50, were synthetized
and characterized with respect to their chemical composition (ICP-OES), structure (XRD),
texture (low-temperature N2 adsorption), form and aggregation of deposited copper species
(UV-vis-DRS), surface acidity (NH3-TPD) and reducibility (H2-TPR). The samples of the Cu-ITQ-6
and Cu-ITQ-36 series were found to be significantly more active NH3-SCR catalysts compared to
Cu-FER. The activity of these catalysts in low-temperature NH3-SCR was assigned to the significant
contribution of highly dispersed copper species (monomeric cations and small oligomeric species)
catalytically active in the oxidation of NO to NO2, which is necessary for fast-SCR. The zeolitic
catalysts, with the higher framework alumina content, were more eective in high-temperature
NH3-SCR due to their limited catalytic activity in the side reaction of ammonia oxidation.The studies financed by National Science Centre–Poland [2016/21/B/ST5/00242]. A.´S. has been
