Abstract: A novel V2O5/activated carbon fiber (ACF) catalyst for NO removal was prepared. The mechanism of selective catalytic reduction of NO was carried out by a transient response experiment and NH3 adsorption and oxidation. The results show that NH3 adsorption is necessary and is a fast process. The active sites can be easily formed in the presence of O2. Adsorption and temperature-programmed desorption with online mass spectroscopy analysis were used to study the adsorption and oxidation behavior of NH3 at 120 oC over the V2O5/ACF catalyst. The adsorbed NH3 can be oxidized to N2H2 on the catalyst surface, and N2H2 is an intermediate of oxidized NH3.
