Adverse effects of potassium on NO_x reduction over Di-Air catalyst (Rh/La-Ce-Zr)

The influence of potassium in Rh on a lanthium promoted zirconia stablised ceria (CZ) catalysts was studied toward NO_xreduction reactivity and selectivity. The results are compared with a Rh/CZ catalyst. The samples were characterised by N₂ adsorption, XRD, SEM, ICP, and H₂-TPR. The study highlighted the...

Fundamental understanding of the Di-Air system (an alternative NO_x abatement technology). I: The difference in reductant pre-treatment of ceria

Toyota's Di-Air DeNO_x system is a promising DeNO_x system to meet NO_x emission requirement during the real driving, yet, a fundamental understanding largely lacks, e.g. the benefit of fast frequency fuel injection. Ceria is the main ingredient in Di-Air catalyst composition. Hence, we investigated the reduction...

Next Generation Automotive DeNO_X Catalysts: Ceria What Else?

Nitrogenoxides (NOx, including NO and NOx) are a group of hazardous, toxic and harmfulgasses, which have an adverse effect on both environment and human health,e.g., acid rain, photochemical smog, and affecting the human respiratorysystem. The NOx concentration in most of the EUcities exceeds the EU annual limit value (40 μg/m3). Around40% of...
