Abstract
Researchers at the University of Central Florida and BASF Corporation have developed a preparation method for catalysts to improve the selective reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) using hydrogen selective catalytic reduction (H2-SCR). The technology can increase NOx conversion and reduce the by-product, nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas. It effectively controls NOx emissions from internal combustion engines at low temperatures and is especially useful for hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines.
Stage of Development: Prototype available.
Benefit
Achieves high catalytic activity and excellent thermal stability Increases the NOx conversion and reduces N2O better than existing H2-SCR technologiesEffective at a variety of temperature ranges without producing high yields of N2O gasMarket Application
Vehicle emission control
