Abatement of N₂O in the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x on platinum zeolite catalysts upon promotion with vanadium

Abstract

The selectivity to N₂O during the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x on platinum-containing zeolite catalysts is reduced by incorporation of vanadium into the catalyst.

7. The catalytic experiments were performed in a flow-type apparatus with a fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure. The gaseous components of the model exhaust gas were premixed and afterwards saturated with water vapour at 45 °C. Typically, the feed contained ca. 0.02 vol% NO_x, 0.06 vol% C₃H₆, 0.03 vol% CO, 4 vol% CO₂, 9 vol% O₂ and 10 vol% H₂O in He at a flow rate of 150 cm³ min^–1. Tests with water concentrations of 6.6 and 3.3 vol% revealed that the influence of water on the average NO_x conversion is small. The mass of the hydrated catalyst amounted to 200 mg. The product stream was analysed for NO_x with a chemiluminescence detector; all other components were analysed by capillary gas chromatography.
