Objectif
Decreased fuel consumption for vehicles is found when operating with large excess of oxygen, lean-burn. The main drawback is that it will increase the combustion temperature in the engine, enhancing the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx): mainly nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
This project will develop catalytic systems for continuous NOx reduction for Lean Burn cars through basic and applied research:
- Improvement of silver on alumina and dual pore size zeolite catalysts.
- Evaluation of denox promoting or inhibition effects due to fuel and exhaust composition.
- Scale-up of catalytic systems from laboratory, through pilot to full-scale production.
Successful catalyst will be tested at realistic conditions to show the potential to comply with the EU standards for emission.
