Nitrogen oxides are a major threat to human health and largely released by Diesel engines. The present book describes the preparation and characterization of appropriate catalyst systems for low temperature removal (150 – 400°C) and conversion of nitrogen oxides.
The presented catalysts include commercially available activated carbon and zeolite supports, infiltrated with iron, copper, manganese and their oxides. The investigated catalysts adsorb and convert nitrogen dioxide almost completely and convert it quickly subsequently into the less toxic nitric oxide and nitrous oxide. Some eventually release nitrogen and oxygen, thus outperforming even the well-known Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst at low temperature.
