Both Cu-CLIN and Fe-CLIN were obtained by ion-exchange usingnatural clinoptilolite zeolite originating from the Hrabovec deposit (northeast Slovakia region). Cu-SBA-15 and Fe-SBA-15 were prepared by impregnation into SBA-15 mesoporous synthesized silica.Standard catalytic activity tests were carried out on a bench-scale laboratory apparatus using areaction mixture of a standard test. GHSV of 48,000 h􀀀1 was adopted based on the space velocity of areal NH3-SCR catalyst for diesel vehicles (100–550 C). All Cu-doped samples showed better NOconversion values than Fe-doped samples. Clinoptilolite catalysts were more active than those basedon SBA-15. Maximum NO conversions of about 96% were observed for Cu-CLIN and Fe-CLIN at350–400 C, respectively. Moreover, Fe-CLIN also showed higher stability in the presence of SO2 andwater steam at 350 C. These results demonstrate the potential of metal-doped natural clinoptilolite tobe used as cost-effective catalysts applied to the abatement of NOx emissions generated in automotivecombustion processes.
