Book excerpt: Abstract : The study of NOx reduction across the SCRF® is presented in this report to understand the inlet and outlet NO, NO2, NH3 species from the SCRF®. The SCRF® is a prototype SCR catalyst on a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that reduces NOx and PM at the downstream location. The SCRF® reduces the packaging volume of the aftertreatment components in order to reduce the cost, volume and weight of the aftertreatment system. A total of 12 experiments were performed on a Cummins ISB 2013 280 hp engine and the aftertreatment system. The tests were performed to investigate the NOx reduction performance of the SCRF® under various Particulate Matter loading. The loading phase has been divided into two stages: Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stage 1 begins after all the PM has been removed from the SCRF®, which is then followed by Stage 2 loading. The engine is run at 2400 rpm and 200 Nm load with different fuel rail pressures for a duration to achieve PM loadings of 0, 2, and 4 g/L (grams of PM per volume of the SCRF®) in the SCRF®. For the testing of the SCRF® without PM loading, a Catalyzed Particulate Filter (CPF) was placed before the SCRF®. After the loading phase, NOx reduction stage was run at different engine conditions. The engine speed and load conditions were selected for the NOx reduction stage, named as test points 1, 3, 6, and 8, in order to attain a wide range in space velocities, inlet temperatures and NO2/NOx ratios in the SCRF®, which are the major parameters determining NOx reduction efficiency in the SCRF®. The exhaust temperature varied from 206 to 443 °C, inlet NO2/ NOx ratio varied from 0.22 to 0.46, and space velocity varied from 13.5 to 48.2 k/hr. Urea was dosed in the decomposition tube before the SCRF® to determine the NOx conversion efficiency at different ammonia to NOx ratio (ANR) values. The ANR values considered for the NOx reduction and NH3 slip were 0, 0.8, 1, 1.2, and 1.2 repeat. The ANR of 1.2 was repeated in the urea dosing cycle. It was found that the NOx conversion efficiency across the SCRF® is maximum for test points 3 and 6 i.e. for the temperature range of 300-350°C. The NO2/NOx ratio at those points was around 0.42-0.46. It is observed that the loading in the SCRF® does not affect the NOx conversion efficiency at low (205 °C) and high (440 °C) temperature points but affects in between. The NOx conversion efficiency improved with PM loading until 300 °C SCRF® inlet temperature and decreased (with PM loading) after 350 °C. There is noticeable ammonia oxidation at temperatures above 400 °C in the SCRF® that affects NOx conversion efficiency [1]. At higher temperature of about 440 °C, NH3 slip is observed varying with PM loading in the SCRF®. With PM loading, NO2 assisted oxidation increases the concentration of NO [2] and affects the NOx conversion efficiency. It is concluded from the results that the NO2 concentration across the SCRF® decreased with PM loading and SCRF® temperature due to NO2 assisted PM oxidation. The impact of PM loading on NOx reduction in the SCRF® was insignificant below 300 °C. NOx conversion decreased by 3 - 5 % above 350 °C with increase in PM loading from 0 to 2 and 4 g/L, due to consumption of NO2 via passive oxidation of PM. The NOx concentration is not completely converted across the SCRF® at temperatures above 350 °C even if dosed with an ANR value of 1.2.

Book excerpt: Abstract : In this study, the combination of a DPF and SCR catalyst technology together on a single substrate was investigated for both loading and oxidation performance. Johnson Matthey together with Corning have developed the latest in diesel aftertreatment technologies with the SCRF®. To test the steady state oxidation performance of the pre-production system, a series of fourteen NO2 assisted passive oxidation (PO) tests (seven with urea injection, and seven without) and four active regeneration tests were performed on a 2013 Cummins ISB engine. The aftertreatment production system was modified to allow for experimental investigation into passive oxidation with and without urea dosing and active regeneration of particulate matter for a SCR on a DPF. The primary focus of this study was to carry out passive oxidation (with and without urea dosing), active regeneration and to measure species concentrations, PM mass retained, flowrates, substrate temperature distributions, pressure drop across the filter, and to determine the PM oxidation performance of the SCRF® and compare it to the baseline system. The data from this study will be used in the development and calibration of the MTU SCR-F model. The passive oxidation performance of the SCRF® was experimentally studied by oxidizing the accumulated PM at five distinct engine and exhaust conditions. These conditions were intended to span a wide range of standard space velocities (10.3-38.2 k/hr), substrate temperatures (273-377°C), and NO2 concentrations (117-821 ppm). The tests were repeated, once with and once without the injection of urea in the form of diesel exhaust fluid. Urea dosing was performed at a target ammonia to NOx ratio of 1.0 to investigate both the NOx reduction performance, as well as the effect it has on the PM passive oxidation performance. Each test began with an accelerated loading stage designed to accumulate 1.7±0.4 g/L. The two loading stages and the two post oxidation stages were intended not only to accumulate particulate matter for the passive oxidation stage, but also to characterize the difference to the production system. The study found that the SCRF® was able to achieve 88-99% reduction in NOx with urea for the steady state PO conditions studied and there was 51% lower PM reaction rates, and 60% lower rate constants k, compared to without urea injection. The thermal oxidation performance was studied by investigating three different active regeneration tests points above 500°C where the contribution of NO2 assisted oxidation was less than 10% based on other studies. The different target inlet temperatures 500°C, 550°C and 600°C were achieved through in cylinder post fuel dosing. From the conclusions of the study, it was found that the PM loading performance of the SCRF® was very similar to the production CPF, but resulted in a higher pressure drop across the filter. The PM passive oxidation performance of the system was significantly affected (51% lower reaction rates and 60% lower rate constants) by the injection of urea during the passive oxidation stage. The kinetics of PM passive oxidation using the standard Arrhenius model resulted in an activation energy of 99.2 kJ/gmol and pre exponential factor of 113.7 1/ppm/s without urea injection. Likewise, the kinetics of PM passive oxidation with urea dosing had an activation energy of 96.2 kJ/gmol and pre exponential factor of 23.1 1/ppm/s. Finally the kinetics of thermal oxidation were found to have an activation energy of 211.5 kJ/gmol and 2.52E+05 1/ppm/s for the pre exponential factor.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : The heavy-duty diesel engines use a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a Catalyzed Particulate Filter (CPF), a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with urea injection and a Ammonia Oxidation Catalyst (AMOX), to meet the US EPA 2010/2013 particulate matter (PM) and NOx emission standards. However, it is not possible to achieve the 2015 California low NOx standards with this arrangement. Hence, there is a need to improve the existing aftertreatment system. This can be achieved by coating the SCR catalyst on a diesel particulate filter (DPF), thus combining the PM filtration and NOx reduction functionality into a single device. This reduces the overall volume/weight of the system and provides opportunity for packaging flexibility and improved thermal management along with the possibility of higher NOx reduction with a downstream SCR system. The SCR catalyst on a DPF used in this study is known as a SCRF℗ʼ which was supplied by Johnson Matthey and Corning. Previous research on the CPF and SCRF℗ʼ at MTU highlighted that the reactivity of PM retained in the CPF and SCRF℗ʼ is higher during loading conditions compared to passive oxidation conditions i.e. when the flow rate of PM entering the CPF or SCRF℗ʼ is higher in loading conditions compared to the low flow rate and higher PM reaction rate during passive oxidation conditions. A 2013 Cummins ISB engine with a DOC-SCRF℗ʼ arrangement was used to perform twelve tests (eight tests without urea injection and four tests with urea injection) in order to determine the NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance of the SCRF℗ʼ under loading conditions with and without urea injection. The primary focus of this study was to carry out Loading Tests with and without Urea injection and measure species concentrations, PM mass retained, exhaust flowrates, substrate temperature distributions, pressure drop across the filter, and to determine the kinetics of NO2 assisted PM oxidation under loading conditions and compare it with kinetics under passive oxidation conditions. The NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance of the SCRF℗ʼ was experimentally studied by running the engine at 2400 RPM and four different loads at nominal and reduced rail pressure for 5.5 hours in two stages of loading. These conditions were intended to span the SCRF℗ʼ inlet temperatures in the range of 264-364oC and inlet NO2 concentrations in the range of 52-120 ppm. Four conditions out of these eight conditions were repeated with the injection of urea in the form of diesel exhaust fluid at a target ammonia to NOx ratio of 1.0 to investigate both the NOx reduction performance, as well as the effect of urea on the NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance. From the conclusions of the study based on the experimental data, it was found that the cumulative percentage of PM oxidized in the SCRF℗ʼ increases with the increase in engine load due to higher SCRF℗ʼ temperatures and NO2 concentrations. On average, the reactions rates with urea injection during loading conditions in the SCRF℗ʼ are 25% lower compared to the reaction rates without urea injection. The reactivity of PM under loading conditions with and without urea injection is higher compared to the reactivity of PM under passive oxidation with and without urea injection. For a lumped PM oxidation model, a higher pre-exponential for NO2 assisted oxidation is needed for loading as compared to passive oxidation conditions. It was not possible to determine the kinetics of NO2 assisted oxidation of PM under loading conditions from the experimental data using a standard Arrhenius model which lead to the development of a different model for PM oxidation. A PM oxidation model was developed based on the shrinking core model which keeps the identity of the incoming PM masses in the SCRF℗ʼ as compared to SCR-F model being developed at MTU which is lumped model for PM oxidation. The PM oxidation model was calibrated to simulate PM oxidation in the SCRF℗ʼ with a single set of kinetics under wide range of conditions including loading and passive oxidation conditions. The reaction rate results from the PM oxidation model were then applied to the SCR-F model to simulate the pressure drop across SCRF℗ʼ and the PM retained in the SCRF℗ʼ for the loading conditions used in this study. The SCR-F model was calibrated using experimental data from Loading Tests w/o Urea to simulate the PM retained within ℗ł2 g and pressure drop across SCRF℗ʼ within ℗ł0.5 kPa of the experimental data at the end of the test. The calibrated SCR-F model was also used to estimate the cake, wall and channel pressure drop and the PM retained in the cake and wall for the Loading Tests w/o Urea to check the integrity of experimental data and the consistency of the model. The NO2 assisted kinetics for PM oxidation in the SCRF℗ʼ without urea injection using the SCR-F model resulted in an activation energy of 96 kJ/gmol and pre-exponential factor of 2.6 m/K-s for the cake and 1.8 m/K-s for the wall. An analysis of the results from the SCR-F model suggests that for all the conditions, 84-92% of the total PM retained was in the PM cake layer and the oxidation in the PM cake layer accounted for 72-84% of the total PM mass oxidized during loading.

Book excerpt: Abstract : Abstract The heavy-duty diesel (HDD) engines use the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), catalyzed particulate filter (CPF) and urea injection based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems in sequential combination, to meet the US EPA 2010 PM and NOx emission standards. The SCR along with a NH3 slip control catalyst (AMOX) offer NOx reduction >90 % with NH3 slipHowever, there is a strong desire to further improve the NOx reduction performance of such systems, to meet the California Optional Low NOx Standard implemented since 2015. Integrating SCR functionality into a diesel particulate filter (DPF), by coating the SCR catalyst on the DPF, offers potential to reduce the system cost and packaging weight/ volume. It also provides opportunity to increases the SCR volume without affecting the overall packaging, to achieve NOx reduction efficiencies >95 %. xvii In this research, the NOx reduction and NH3 storage performance of a Cu-zeolite SCR and Cu-zeolite SCR catalyst on DPF (SCRF®) were experimentally investigated based on the engine experimental data at steady state conditions. The experimental data for the production-2013-SCR and the SCRF® were collected (with and without PM loading in the SCRF®) on a Cummins ISB 2013 engine, at varying inlet temperatures, space velocities, inlet NOx concentrations and NO2/NOx ratios, to evaluate the NOx reduction, NH3 storage and NH3 slip characteristics of the SCR catalyst. The SCRF® was loaded with 2 and 4 g/L of PM prior to the NOx reduction tests to study the effect of PM loading on the NOx reduction and NH3 storage performance of the SCRF®. The experimental setup and test procedures for evaluation of NOx reduction performance of the SCRF®, with and without PM loading in the SCRF® are described. The 1-D SCR model developed at MTU was calibrated to the engine experimental data obtained from the seven NOx reduction tests conducted with the production-2013-SCR. The performance of the 1-D SCR model was validated by comparing the simulation and experimental data for NO, NO2 and NH3 concentrations at the outlet of the SCR. The NO and NO2 concentrations were calibrated to ±20 ppm and NH3 was calibrated to ±20 ppm. The experimental results for the production-2013-SCR indicate that the NOx reduction of 80 - 85% can be achieved for the inlet temperatures below 250°C and above 450°C and NOx reduction of 90 - 95% can be achieved for the inlet temperatures between 300 - 350°C, at ammonia to NOx ratio (ANR) 1.0, while the NH3 slip out of the SCR wasConversely, the SCRF® showed 90 - 95 % NOx reduction at ANR of 1.0, while the NH3 slip out of the SCRF® was >50 ppm, with and without PM loading in the SCRF®, for the inlet temperature range of 200 - 450°C, space velocity in the range of 13 to 48 k/hr and inlet NO2/NOx in the range of 0.2 to 0.5. The NOx reduction in the SCRF® increases to >98 % at ANR 1.2. However, the NH3 slip out of the SCRF® increases significantly at ANR 1.2. xviii The effect of PM loading at 2 and 4 g/L on the NOx reduction performance of the SCRF® was negligible below 300°C. However, with PM loading in the SCRF®, the NOx reduction decreased by 3 - 5% when compared to the clean SCRF®, for inlet temperature >350°C. Experimental data were also collected by reference [1] to investigate the NO2 assisted PM oxidation in the SCRF® for the inlet temperature range of 260 - 370°C, with and without urea injection and thermal oxidation of PM in the SCRF® for the inlet temperature range of 500 - 600°C, without urea injection by reference [1]. The experimental data obtained from this study and [1] will be used to develop and calibrate the SCR-F model at Michigan Tech. The NH3 storage for the production-2013-SCR and the SCRF® (with and without PM loading) were determined from the steady state engine experimental data. The NH3 storage for the production-2013-SCR and the SCRF® (without PM loading) were within ±5 gmol/m3 of the substrate, with maximum NH3 storage of 75 - 80 gmol/m3 of the substrate, at the SCR/SCRF® inlet temperature of 200°C. The NH3 storage in the SCRF®, with 2 g/L PM loading, decreased by 30%, when compared to the NH3 storage in the SCRF®, without PM loading. The further increase in the PM loading in the SCRF®, from 2 to 4 g/L, had negligible effect on NH3 storage.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Reduction of emissions and improving the fuel consumption are two prime research areas in Diesel engine development. The present after-treatment systems being used for emissions control include diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) for NO, HC and CO oxidation along with catalyzed particulate filters for PM (particulate matter) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for controlling NOx emissions. Recently an after-treatment system called SCR catalyst on a DPF capable of simultaneously reducing both NOx and PM emissions has been developed in order to reduce the overall size of the after-treatment system. The goal of this proposed research is to create a state estimator that is capable of estimating the internal states of temperature distribution, PM distribution, NH3 storage faction as well as pressure drop across the filter and outlet concentration of NO, NO2 and NH3 for different operating conditions. This would help in achieving an optimal urea dosing strategy during NOx reduction as well as an optimum fuel dosing strategy during active regeneration for the SCR catalyst on a DPF. The motivation for this research comes from the desire to quantify the interaction of SCR reactions and PM oxidation in the SCR catalyst on a DPF and to use the mathematical model created in the process to develop a state estimator that can provide optimal control and onboard diagnostics of combined SCR catalyst on a DPF devices. In the initial phase of the research a high-fidelity SCR-F model is being developed in MATLAB/Simulink which is capable of predicting the filtration efficiency, temperature distribution, PM distribution, pressure drop across the filter and outlet concentrations of NO, NO2 and NH3. This model will be calibrated using experimental data collected on a Cummins 2013 ISB SCRF®. After the validation of the SCR-F model, the high-fidelity SCR-F model developed will be used with an existing 1D SCR model to perform NOx reduction studies on a system consisting of SCRF® + SCR using experimental data. This step will be followed by development of a reduced order SCR-F model using a coarser mesh (e.g. 5x5 vs 10x10) and simplified governing equations which will also be used as the mathematical model for the state estimator. SCR-F state estimator will be developed to accurately predict the internal states of NH3 coverage fraction, temperature distribution, PM distribution and pressure drop across the SCR catalyst on the DPF. The estimator will be validated using experimental data.

Book excerpt: Abstract : Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems along with a NH3 slip control catalyst (ASC) offers NOx conversion efficiency >90 % with NH3 slip 90 % with NH3 slip 95 %. A downstream SCR catalyst substrate can be used to get additional NOx conversion by using the SCRF® outlet NH3 to increase the cumulative NOx conversion of the system. In this study, NOx reduction, NH3 slip and PM oxidation performance of a Cu-zeolite SCRF® with a downstream Cu-zeolite SCR were investigated based on engine experimental data at steady state conditions. The experimental data were collected at varying SCRF® inlet temperatures, space velocities, inlet NOx concentrations, NO2/ NOx ratios at ammonia to NOx ratios (ANR) between 1.02 to 1.10. The results demonstrated that the SCRF® with downstream SCR together can achieve NOx conversion efficiency > 98% at ANRs between 1.02 - 1.10 (which may have been due to measurement inaccuracies in downstream SCRF 98% at ANRs between 1.02 - 1.10 (which may have been due to measurement inaccuracies in downstream SCRF®/SCRdata), for the inlet temperature range of 200 - 370°C, space velocity in the range of 10 to 34 k/hr and inlet NO2/ NOx in the range of 0.3 - 0.5. However, NH3 slip from the SCRF® decreases and NOx concentration downstream of the SCRF® increases with the oxidation of PM in the SCRF®. The PM oxidation kinetics are affected by the deNOx reactions, hence, the SCRF® with urea dosing showed ~80 % lower reaction rates during passive oxidation when compared to the production CPF. The effect of varying fuel rail injection pressure on the primary particle diameter and on the Elemental Carbon (EC) and Organic Carbon (OC) fraction of the total carbon was also studied. The primary particle diameter was found to be in the range of 28-30 nm with no effect of the variation in fuel rail injection pressure on it. The OC part of the Total Carbon (TC) did not vary significantly with fuel rail injection pressure. The EC content increased with decrease in fuel rail injection pressure.

Book excerpt: The most efficient process to reduce NOx emissions from lean exhaust gases, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with ammonia, has undergone tremendous development over the past decades. Originally only applied in stationary power plants and industrial installations, SCR systems are now installed in millions of mobile diesel engines, ranging from off-road machineries, to heavy-duty and light-duty trucks and passenger cars, to locomotives and ships. All of these applications involve specific challenges due to tighter emission limits, new internal combustion engine technologies, or alternative fuels. Three review articles and 14 research articles in this book describe recent results and research trends of various aspects of the SCR process. Reaction engineering aspects, such as the proper dosage of ammonia or urea, respectively, are as important as further developments of the different SCR catalysts, by deepening the understanding of their functionality or by systematic improvements of their properties, such as low-temperature activity, selectivity, or poisoning-resistance. Another covered aspect is cost reduction through the use of cheaper base materials for the production is active and stable SCR catalysts. Finally, research efforts are reported to develop SCR processes with different reducing agents, which would open doors to new applications in the future. The range of topics addressed in this book will stimulate the reader's interest as well as provide a valuable source of information for researchers in academia and industry.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Research & Development, the simulation of the aftertreatment systems has become a fundamental part in the development process for the automobile industry. It is normal then to study individually every aftertreatment technology in order to create simulation models for these technologies such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) or Diesel Particle Filter (DPF). For helping the creation of these models, dedicated experiments are carried out. These kinetic experiments must be designed and well-defined such that they provide the necessary information in a reproducible way at minimal time and costs. In the first part of the work and in order to facilitate measurements with long SDPF specimens, a reactor with a new oven design has been characterized. Its thermal behaviour and the absence of unwanted reactions of the bare reactor (without catalyst) have been checked. In a previous work, dedicated kinetic measurement procedures for the SCR calibration process were determined and optimized on a synthetic gas test rig. The optimal settings and procedures were programed in the test rig control software. In the second part of this work, several measurements based on these optimal procedures have been carried out on the test rig with a state-of-the-art Cu-Ze SCR to investigate the influence of several types of HCs on the SCR behaviour. The alternative of the NO2/NOx ratio step concept was used for the NOx conversion study of the SCR catalyst. It has been seen that the presence during the experiment of different HC species such as C3H6 and C2H2 had an negative effect in the NOx reduction, and for other HC species as C3H8 the effect was practically inexistent. The results of this work will help to better understand the behaviour of SCR catalysts and SDPF filters for future investigations.

Book excerpt: The research carried out on this project developed experimentally validated Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) high-fidelity models that served as the basis for the reduced order models used for internal state estimation. The high-fidelity and reduced order/estimator codes were evaluated by the industrial partners with feedback to MTU that improved the codes. Ammonia, particulate matter (PM) mass retained, PM concentration, and NOX sensors were evaluated and used in conjunction with the estimator codes. The data collected from PM experiments were used to develop the PM kinetics using the high-fidelity DPF code for both NO2 assisted oxidation and thermal oxidation for Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (ULSF), and B10 and B20 biodiesel fuels. Nine SAE papers were presented and this technology transfer process should provide the basis for industry to improve the OBD and control of urea injection and fuel injection for active regeneration of the PM in the DPF using the computational techniques developed. This knowledge will provide industry the ability to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption from vehicles in the field. Four MS and three PhD Mechanical Engineering students were supported on this project and their thesis research provided them with expertise in experimental, modeling, and controls in aftertreatment systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As lean-burn engines are being introduced in the United States, both advantages and disadvantages arise. Lean-burn engines can operate at a high efficiency, and are developed for a wide range of power supplies. Unfortunately, due to the low temperature at which these engines operate, NO[subscript x] formation becomes an issue. Forthcoming legislation pertaining to heavy-duty lean-burn engines aimed at reducing both particulate matter emissions and emissions of nitric oxides has brought about a need for a better method for reducing NO[subscript x] from lean exhaust gases at moderate temperatures. It is generally accepted that current fuel treatment processes alone will be unable to accommodate emission standards proposed for upcoming years. While the current 3-way catalyst is ineffective in reducing NO[subscript x] under lean conditions, many new strategies are being developed. The Lean NO[subscript x] Catalyst (LNC), Lean NO[subscript x] Trap (LNT), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst are all viable methods with research underway. Currently, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides by N-containing reducing agents is one of the most powerful methods for accomplishing the removal of NO[subscript x] from an exhaust stream. This technology has been in place in steady state power plants, but has yet to be fully implemented in mobile engines. This is due in part to the problems encountered in the automated control of ammonia addition to the exhaust gas. In steady state operation, a relatively constant amount of NO[subscript x] is produced over a given amount of time. Thus, to provide a stoichiometric amount of ammonia only the steady state concentration of NO[subscript x] must be known. In an automotive application the NO[subscript x] produced is not constant and the addition of ammonia must vary accordingly. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the SCR process of the reaction between NO and NH3 through an experimental matrix and also through a kinetic study extracted from the results. These results are used in a simple theoretical model of the SCR reaction. The use of NO as the only form of NO[subscript x] allows for the kinetics of the NO reaction to be studied separately from the NO2 kinetics. This will be a first step in understanding the overall SCR process involving both NO and NO2. The SCR process for the reaction between NO and NH3, while understood on a global scale, is still under debate at the elementary level. It is currently thought that the reaction occurs according to an Eley-Rideal mechanism, where strongly absorbed ammonia reacts with weakly absorbed or gas phase NO to produce nitrogen and water. It is generally accepted that this reaction proceeds in first order with respect to nitric oxide and zero order with respect to ammonia and oxygen.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing price of liquid fuels and an increased focus on fuel efficiency has driven vehicle engine manufacturers toward diesel and other lean burn engines at the cost of increased emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), which contribute to pollution such as smog, ground level ozone, and acid deposition. Within the past thirty years, increasingly stringent NOX emission standards have forced engine manufacturers to develop novel ways to reduce these emissions. With the implementation of the latest American and European NOX emission standards, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) has become the most prominent NOX reduction method in lean-burn engines.In the present work, a method is developed to test the performance of commercial SCR catalyst coated monoliths and probe the deactivation mechanisms. A monolith testing apparatus is constructed for these purposes. Necessary design features included a programmable gas mixing system, a steam generator, a temperature control system, and an analysis system based upon Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. It is found that a high flow rate of carrier gas as well as a method to generate a water mist and prevent dripping is essential to ensure a stable supply of steam and repeatable results.Important SCR reactions, namely the standard, fast, and slow SCR reactions as well as NH3 adsorption and performance of a zeolite catalyst coated monolith were investigated at three temperatures -- 250 and 300 °C representing engine operation at normal operating conditions and 400 °C representing engine operation at high load. The amount of NH3 adsorbed decreased with temperature in line with previous studies while NOX reduction performance increased with higher temperatures at all inlet compositions tested. A transient drop in NO conversion performance was observed upon introduction of NH3 without the presence of NO2 consistent with previous studies suggesting an NH3 inhibition mechanism. When supplied with 1:1 and 1:3 ratios of NO:NO2 at 250 °C, the catalyst reduced more NOX than NH3 suggesting that part of the NOX reduction was proceeding through an ammonium nitrate intermediate and generating nitric acid. In addition, NH3 oxidation into N2O was prevalent at 300°C in an excess of NO2. The SCR reaction results indicate that both transient effects and side reactions play an important role in an NH3 SCR system, particularly one that is designed to operate under continuously changing conditions.Catalyst aging mechanisms were investigated by comparing catalytic performance, material structure, and surface composition of a new and a used zeolite catalyst monolith for the fast SCR reaction. Physical analysis of the catalyst monoliths through X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) indicated four aging mechanisms. Both the new and used catalyst monoliths performed at least 95% NOX reduction in the fast reaction at all temperatures tested. Despite the similar NOX reduction performance, the used catalyst monolith exhibited lower NO oxidation performance, increased NH3 oxidation, and a lower quantity of adsorbed NH3 compared to the new catalyst monolith. Dealumination is likely the primary cause of the used catalyst monolith's lower NOX reduction performance with promoter metal deactivation, poisoning by sulfur and phosphorous, and mechanical failure of the catalyst coating on the monolith also contributing to the decreased performance. The results do not find evidence of carbon coking. This investigation into catalyst aging mechanisms confirms the efficacy of the commercial SCR catalyst monolith over long time periods.
