The use of formate-based ammonia precursors as alternatives to urea in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process requires that formic acid released upon their thermolysis in the hot exhaust is rapidly decomposed to carbon dioxide. This work aims at t ...
Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas aftertreatment to reduce methane emissions from lean burn natural gas vehicles as well as in stationary combustion processes. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide high activity for this reaction, but they deactiva ...
Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas after treatment to reduce methane emissions in stationary combustion processes as well as in natural gas vehicles. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide higher activity than the commonly used Pd/Al2O3, but suffer f ...
The deactivation of supported nickel catalysts by coking is an important technological subject for many chemical processes, especially when high concentrations of unsaturated hydrocarbons are present in the feed gas. Here, the reversible segregation of Ni ...
Owing to the problems associated with the use of urea as an ammonia precursor compound in the selective catalytic reduction process in automobiles, alternative compounds such as ammonium formate, methanamide, and guanidinium formate have been suggested as ...
Perovskite-type oxides have shown the ability to reversibly segregate precious metals from their structure. This reversible segregation behavior was explored for a commonly used catalyst metal, Ni, to prevent Ni sintering, which is observed on most catalys ...
The combination of spectroscopic and diffraction methods to study chemical transformations is fundamental for the understanding of reaction mechanisms. The identification of short-lived species, likely active species, is often hindered by the contribution ...
Natural gas is receiving increasing awareness as fuel for passenger vehicles due to its very low specific CO2 emissions. However, control of CH4 emissions from natural gas combustion in stoichiometric engines requires a specific three-way catalyst (TWC). T ...
We report the increased level of mechanistic information that Raman spectroscopy can provide when combined with modulated excitation experimentation. A V2O5/TiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO, was subjected to periodic NH3 puls ...
Log wood burning is a significant source of volatile organic compounds including aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHC). ArHC are harmful, are reactive in the ambient atmosphere, and are important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors. Consequently, SOA represe ...
