LEAN NOx TRAP PLUS LOW TEMPERATURE NOx ADSORBER SYSTEM FOR LOW TEMPERATURE NOx TRAPPING
The present disclosure is directed to an emission treatment system for NO.sub.x abatement in an exhaust stream of a lean burn engine. The emission treatment system includes a lean NO.sub.x trap (LNT) in fluid communication with and downstream from the lean burn engine and a low-temperature NO.sub.x adsorber (LT-NA) in fluid communication with and downstream of the LNT. Further provided is a method for abating NO.sub.x in an exhaust stream from a lean burn engine utilizing the disclosed system.
CATALYST FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY INHIBITING EMISSION OF AMMONIA AND NITROUS OXIDE
An object of the present invention is to increase the reduction performance of nitrogen oxides compared to existing three-way catalysts; simultaneously inhibit the emission of ammonia and nitrous oxide; simplify a process by means of a method of further doping an iridium-ruthenium catalyst into a commercial three-way catalyst; and expand the scope of application. The present invention provides a catalyst for simultaneously inhibiting the emission of ammonia and nitrous oxide by doping an iridium-ruthenium catalyst component into a three-way catalyst (TWC), a diesel oxidation catalyst, or a lean NOx trap supported on a honeycomb support.
HUMIC ACID ASSISTED METAL NANOPARTICLE SYNTHESIS FOR THREE-WAY CATALYSIS APPLICATION
A method of manufacturing a catalyst article, the method comprising: providing a complex of a humic acid or derivative thereof, and a PGM; providing a support material; applying the complex to the support material to form a loaded support material; disposing the loaded support material on a substrate; and heating the loaded support material to form nanoparticles of the PGM on the support material.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REACTIVE REGENERATION OF SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION CATALYSTS
A controller for controlling regeneration of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst of an aftertreatment system is configured to cause increase in a SCR catalyst temperature of the SCR catalyst to a first regeneration temperature, the first regeneration temperature being lower than a high regeneration temperature that is equal to or greater than 500 degrees Celsius. The controller is configured to determine an amount of ammonia slip downstream of the SCR catalyst; and cause an increase in the SCR catalyst temperature to a second regeneration temperature greater than the first regeneration temperature but lower than the high regeneration temperature based on the determined amount of ammonia slip.
