The 2-way diesel particulate filter/selective catalytic
reduction
(DPF/SCR) emission reduction system has been considered as a potential
candidate for future emission standards owing to its advantages in
cost savings and packaging flexibility. For the 2-way device, Cu–zeolite
is coated inside the DPF substrate as nitrogen oxide (NO
x
) reducing (DeNO
x
) catalytic
material. Therefore, when exhaust gas passes through the 2-way device,
NO
x
reduction and soot filtration occur
simultaneously. However, the operating characteristics of the combinatorial
device might be different from individual DPF and SCR devices. In
this work, a previously developed model was improved to include soot
filtration and oxidation. The model has been tested and validated
with experimental data from a reactor flow bench in a systematic manner
and applied to capture the effect of soot deposits on NO
x
reduction performance in a 2-way DPF/SCR device.
Accordingly, the soot oxidation characteristics of a 2-way device
are investigated with various feed gas compositions. Then the effect
of soot deposit on the SCR reaction is investigated in terms of deterioration
of DeNO
x
performance and the interaction
between soot oxidation reactions and DeNO
x
SCR reactions.
