Review of the application of Cu-containing SSZ-13 in NH 3 -SCR-DeNO x and NH 3 -SCO.

The reduction of NO x emissions has become one of the most important subjects in environmental protection. Cu-containing SSZ-13 is currently the state-of-the-art catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH 3 -SCR-DeNO x ). Although the current-generation catalysts reveal enhanced activity and remarkable hydrothermal stability, still open challenges appear. Thus, this review focuses on the progress of Cu-containing SSZ-13 regarding preparation methods, hydrothermal resistance and poisoning as well as reaction mechanisms in NH 3 -SCR-DeNO x . Remarkably, the paper reviews also the progress of Cu-containing SSZ-13 in the selective ammonia oxidation into nitrogen and water vapor (NH 3 -SCO). The dynamics in the NH 3 -SCR-DeNO x and NH 3 -SCO fields make this review timely.
