ZSM-5 zeolites containing Cu2+ ions showed unusually high and steady state activity for the catalytic decomposition of nitrogen monoxide; for example, the degrees of conversions of NO, and of conversion into N2 and O2 were 97, 85, and 70°/0, respectively, at 823 K with a contact time of 10.0 g s cm-3 over 73% exchanged Cu-ZSM-5.

Repeated ion exchange of the ZSM-5 zeolite using aqueous copper(II) acetate solution was found to bring about excess loading of copper ions above 100% of exchange level. The catalytic activities of the resulting Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites for direct decomposition of nitrogen monoxide were very high and increased with increasing exchange level. The activity did not decrease even after 30 h of continuous service.
