Selective catalytic reduction of NO with CO (CO-SCR) was investigated based on optimizing the operating conditions by response surface methodology (RSM) and by appropriately choosing the supported SBA-15 catalysts. The effects of the CO-SCR reaction parameters such as NO:CO molar ratios and oxygen concentrations on the catalytic performance were determined by RSM to evaluate the NO conversion using a first-order polynomial model. The CuO/SBA-15 and Fe₂O₃/SBA-15 catalysts were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), N₂ adsorption-desorption (BET), scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to investigate the physicochemical properties of the solids. The RSM showed a very good agreement between predicted values and experimental results with the Pareto analysis confirming the accuracy and reliability of the model. The optimized results indicated the maximum NO conversion at 500 °C with using the NO to CO molar ratio of 1:2 (500:1000 ppm) in the absence of oxygen. Under these conditions, CuO/SBA-15 catalyst achieved 99.7% of NO conversion, whereas Fe₂O₃/SBA-15 had 98.1% of the catalytic parameter. Catalytic tests in CO-SCR reaction were performed on both catalysts at optimum operating conditions with CuO/SBA-15 exhibiting better performance compared to that of Fe₂O₃/SBA-15. The results revealed that CuO/SBA-15 was a promising catalyst for CO-SCR of NO due to the well-dispersed CuO phase on SBA-15 surface that allows the solid being more tolerant to the presence of oxygen.
