Abstract: Nitrogen doping of activated carbon loading Fe₂O₃ was performed by annealing in ammonia, and the activity of the modified carbon for NO reduction was studied in the presence of oxygen. Results show that Fe₂O₃ enhances the amount of surface oxygen complexes and facilitates nitrogen incorporation in the carbon, especially in the form of pyridinic nitrogen. The modified carbon shows excellent activity for NO reduction in the low temperature regime (<500 °C) because of the cooperative effect of Fe₂O₃ and the surface nitrogen species.

Key words: Activated carbon, Nitric oxide, Doping, Iron oxides, Catalytic reduction
