Abstract

The photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen monoxide (NO) with ethane on the hollandite type catalyst (K2Ga2Sn6O16≡KGSO) was investigated. Using a closed-gas circulating system equipped with a Q-MASS detector and in-situ diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy. The reactant gases of NO and 13C2H6 decreased with the increasing irradiation time. In contrast, the N2 yield increased proportionally to the conversion of 13C2H6. Nitrogen oxides such as N2O did not reach their detectable levels. The NO adsorbed on KGSO was found to change to its activated species by UV irradiation. The oxidized products of C2H6 such as CH3CHO increased in proportion to the reaction time. The present results strongly suggest that KGSO has remarkable photocatalytic activity for the reduction of NO with C2H6.
