Silver De. NOx catalysts There is a support effect on the De-NOx activity of Ag: Both using Zr. O 2 and Ce 0. 16 Zr 0. 84 O 2 as support results in a much lower activity range in comparison with Al 2 O 3. Ag/Zr. O 2 deactivates completely in the presence of SO 2 but it can be easily regenerated. Ag/Al 2 O 3 deactivates partially in the presence of SO 2 and it is not easily regenerated. Ag/Ce 0. 16 Zr 0. 84 O 2 deactivates partially in the presence of SO 2 and it can be easily regenerated.
“ The Toyota” concept None of the studied system show acceptable activity, hydrothermal stability or resistance to sulphur. So, perhaps it is not possible to achieve the goal of efficiently reducing NOx in the car exhaust under oxidising condition.
