Assessing the effect of O2 dithering on CH4 oxidation on Pd/Al2O3

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Under periodic lean/rich operation generated by repeated O2 pulses (O2-dithering), the abatement of CH4 and NO is enhanced compared to static operation. However, it is not well understood how the dithering parameters (pulse amplitude and frequency) affect ...
