Abstract The effects of various manganese precursors for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx were investigated in terms of structural, morphological, and physico-chemical analyses. MnOx/ TiO2 catalysts were prepared from three different precursors, manganese nitrate, manganese acetate(II), and manganese acetate(III), by the sol-gel method. The manganese acetate(III)-MnOx/TiO2 catalyst tended to suppress the phase transition from the anatase structure to the rutile or the brookite after calcination at 500℃ for 2 h. It also had a high specific surface area, which was caused by a smaller particle size and more uniform distribution than the others. The change of catalytic acid sites was confirmed by Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy and the manganese acetate(III)-MnOx/TiO2 had the strongest Lewis acid sites among them. The highest de- NOx efficiency and structural stability were achieved by using the manganese acetate(III) as a precursor, because of its high specific surface area, a large amount of anatase TiO2, and the strong catalytic acidity.
