| Abstract: | "Volatile organic amines are a category of typical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) extensively presented in industrial exhausts causing serious harm to the atmospheric environment and human health. Monometallic Pd and Cu-based catalysts are commonly adopted for catalytic destruction of hazardous organic amines, but their applications are greatly limited by the inevitable production of toxic amide and NO(x) byproducts and inferior low-temperature activity. Here, a CuO/Pd@SiO(2) core-shell-structured catalyst with diverse functionalized active sites was creatively developed, which realized the total decomposition of n-butylamine at 260 degrees C with a CO(2) yield and N(2) selectivity reaching up to 100% and 98.3%, respectively (obviously better than those of Pd@SiO(2) and CuO/SiO(2)), owing to the synergy of isolated Pd and Cu sites in independent mineralization of n-butylamine and generation of N(2), respectively. The formation of amide and short-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon intermediates via C-C bond cleavage tended to occur over Pd sites, while the C-N bond was prone to breakage over Cu sites, generating NH(2). species and long free-N chain intermediates at low temperatures, avoiding the production of hazardous amide and NO(x). The SiO(2) channel collapse and H(+) site production resulted in the formation of N(2)O via suppressing NH(2). diffusion. This work provides critical guidance for a rational fabrication of catalysts with high activity and N(2) selectivity for environmentally friendly destruction of nitrogen-containing VOCs" |
