The influence of CO₂ on NO reduction into N₂ over reduced ceria-based catalyst

Oxygen defects in reduced ceria are the catalytic sites for the NO reduction into N₂ in the Toyota Di-Air DeNO_x abatement technology. Traces of NO (several hundred ppm) have to compete with the excess amount of other oxidants, e.g., 5% CO₂ and 5% O₂, in an exhaust gas of a lean burn (diesel) engine....

NO_x reduction in the Di-Air system over noble metal promoted ceria

In this study, the role of the noble metals Pt and Rh (0.5 wt.%) for the selective reduction of NO into N₂ is evaluated by the transient TAP technique and in-situ spectroscopy using a commercial stable ceria support (denoted as CZ) and applying isotopically labelled ¹⁵NO and ¹⁸O₂. The transient...
