摘要:
The regeneration of a model Pt/BaO/Al2O3 monolith catalyst was studied with hydrogen as the reductant to elucidate the reaction pathways to molecular nitrogen and ammonia. NOx storage and reduction experiments (NSR) were conducted with a 2 cm length monolith for a wide range of feed conditions. The NSR experiments were replicated for a series of monoliths of progressively decreasing length, enabling the construction of spatio-temporal profiles of reactant and product concentrations. The results show that there are two primary competing routes to the desired N-2 product: specifically a direct route from the reduction of stored NOx by H-2 (H-2 + NOx -> N-2) or by a sequential route through NH3 (H-2 + NOx -> NH3; NH3 + NOx -> N-2). A comparison between H-2 and NH3 as reductant feeds during NSR revealed H-2 is a more effective reductant in terms of NOx conversion for temperatures below approximately 230 degrees C. At higher temperatures (230-380 degrees C), the regeneration of stored NOx is feed-limited and the difference between the reductants H-2 and NH3 is found to be small with H-2 being a slightly superior reductant. Experimental measurements of the traveling front velocity are compared with a simple feed-limited model that assumes complete consumption of H-2 as stored NOx is depleted. At lower temperatures the regeneration is limited by chemical processes at the Pt/Ba interface. The findings are pieced together to establish a phenomenological description of the spatio-temporal features of the lean NOx trap with hydrogen as the reductant. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
