Reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO ) by superalkalis

Optimization and Modeling of CuOx/OMWNT’s for Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides by Response Surface Methodology

A series of copper oxide (CuOx) catalysts supported by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OMWNT’s) were prepared by the wet impregnation method for the low temperature (200 °C) selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) using NH3 as a reductant agent in the presence of excess oxygen. These catalysts were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDS, and H2-TPR meth...

Control of Nitrogen Oxides

Gas-phase reduction of oxides of nitrogen with CO catalyzed by atomic transition-metal cations.

important reactions occurring in automotive catalytic converters where both reactants are undesirable pollutants. Base-metal oxides, mixed metal-oxide compounds such as perovskites, supported metal catalysts, metal zeolites, and alloys have all been investigated as heterogeneous catalysts for this reaction, which does not occur directly in the gas phase at room temperature to any measurable ext...

Control of Nitrogen Oxides in Diesel Engine Exhaust by Catalytic Reduction

The nitrogen oxides (NOx) are prominent and harmful pollutants in the exhaust of diesel engines. The reduction of NOx to harmless products using catalysts is proved to be a remedy. The present study attempts to reduce NOx emissions in the exhaust of low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine by catalytic reduction, using lanthanum ion exchanged zeolite (catalyst-A) and urea infused lanthanum ion ex...

Indoor Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are gases produced by hightemperature combustion through reactions between nitrogen and oxygen. Both nitrogen in fuel and nitrogen in the air can participate in the reactions. Formation of NO can be followed by further oxidation into NO2 in the atmosphere. NO2 is the most toxic of the nitrogen oxides (grouped generically as NOx) and it is very i...
