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...

Fundamental Understanding of the Di-Air System: The Role of Ceria in NO_x Abatement

Temporal analysis of product (TAP) is used to investigate the effectiveness of CO, C₃H₆, and C₃H₈ in the reduction of a La–Zr doped ceria catalyst and NO reduction into N₂ over this pre-reduced catalyst. Hydrocarbons are found to be substantially more effective in the reduction of this...
