A simple kinetic model for the standard NH3-SCR reaction by Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts has been developed by assuming three reaction steps: NH3 adsorption (desorption), reactions of adsorbed NH3 with O2 (NH3 oxidation) and NO (NH3-SCR). The model is based on Arrhenius parameters for NH3-SCR and NH3 oxidation by a powder catalyst, combined with models for heat and mass transport and parameters of monolithic catalysts. The model is validated with the experimental results, not included in the estimation of the model, for NH3-SCR by monolithic catalysts with di erent parameters (catalyst loading and cell density). NOx removal from diesel exhaust, genff erated by engine bench, was also carried out by using monolithic Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-AFX catalysts. The results suggest the poisoning e ect of hydrocarbons in the exhaust emissions on NOx conversion is more signi cant for ff fi Cu-ZSM-5 than Cu-AFX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
