Abstract

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) rate of NO with N-containing reducing agents can be enhanced considerably by converting part of NO into NO2. The enhanced reaction rate is more pronounced even at lower temperatures by using an equimolar mixture of NO and NO2 (fast SCR reaction). The oxidation characteristics of NO over catalyst Pt/TiO2 have been determined in a fixed bed reactor (8 mm-ID) with different concentrations of oxygen, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the presence of 8% water. The conversion of NO to NO2 increases with increasing oxygen (O2) concentration from 3 to 12%, but it levels off at higher O2 concentrations. The NO conversion to NO2 decreases with increasing NO concentration and it also decreases by an addition of NO2 in the feed stream. Therefore, the oxidation of NO over Pt/TiO2 catalyst could be auto-inhibited by the reaction product of NO2. The effects of CO and SO2 on NO oxidation characteristics have also been determined. In fact, the presence of SO2 significantly suppresses oxidation of NO but due to the less stability of sulfate on anatase structure in TiO2, it becomes less significant. On the other hand, the presence of CO increases NO oxidation significantly due to the auto-inhibition effect by CO. Moreover, the effect of SO2/CO on NO oxidation has also been determined and it was observed that NO oxidation decreases with the increase in SO2/CO ratio.
