MnCe oxides were supported on TiO(2) and Al(2)O(3) by an ultrasonic impregnation method and used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH(3) at low-temperature (80-220 degrees C). MnCe/TiO(2) showed a relatively higher SCR activity than MnCe/Al(2)O(3) at the temperature range of 80-150 degrees C. When the reaction temperature was higher than 150 degrees C, MnCe/Al(2)O(3) exhibited superior SCR activity to MnCe/TiO(2). NH(3) temperature programmed desorption study proved that MnCe/TiO(2) was mainly Lewis acidic, while MnCe/Al(2)O(3) could provide more Brönsted acid sites. These acid sites play an important role in SCR according to in situ diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) analysis. The main SCR reaction was a typical Eley-Rideal mechanism on MnCe/TiO(2), which took place between coordinated NH(3)/NH(4)(+) and gas-phase NO. For MnCe/Al(2)O(3), the reaction mainly occurred via another pathway when the temperature exceeded 150 degrees C, which commenced with the adsorption and oxidation of NO and was followed by reaction between NO(2) or NO(2)-containing compounds and NH(3) adspecies. This reaction pathway makes a significant contribution to the improved NO conversion for MnCe/Al(2)O(3) at higher temperature.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009569	Nitric Oxide	A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D010084	Oxidation-Reduction	A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).	Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010087	Oxides	Binary compounds of oxygen containing the anion O(2-). The anion combines with metals to form alkaline oxides and non-metals to form acidic oxides.	Oxide
