Fe-Mn/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared through the wet impregnation process to selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH₃ at low temperature, and series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of key precursors on their SCR performance. Ferric nitrate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous chloride were chosen as Fe precursors while manganese nitrate, manganese acetate, and manganese chloride as Mn precursors. These precursors had been commonly used to prepare Fe-Mn/TiO₂ catalysts by numerous researchers. The results showed that there were distinct differences in NO conversion efficiencies at low temperature of catalysts prepared with different precursors. Catalysts prepared with ferric nitrate and manganese nitrate precursors exhibited the best catalytic performance at low temperature, while three kinds of catalysts prepared with manganese chloride precursors exhibited significantly low catalytic activity. All catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, H₂-TPR, NH₃-TPD, and XPS. The results indicated that when the catalysts were prepared with manganese nitrate or manganese acetate as precursors, Mn⁴⁺ contents and Oᵦ/(Oᵦ + Oα) ratios decreased in an order of ferric nitrate > ferrous sulfate > ferrous chloride, which was consistent with the change of catalytic activities of the corresponding catalysts at low temperature. It can be found that the excellent catalytic performance of Fe(A)-Mn(a)/TiO₂ was ascribed to high redox property and enrichment of Mn⁴⁺species and surface chemical labile oxygen groups.
