NOx Absorbers The NOx Adsorber Catalyst (NAC) is a new technology developed in the late 1990s. NAC uses a combination of base metal oxide and precious metal coatings to effect control of
NOx. The base metal component (for example, barium oxide) reacts with NOx to form bariumnitrate effectively storing the NOx on the surface of the catalyst.
When the available storage sites are occupied, the catalyst is operated briefly under fuel-rich, low- When the available storage sites are occupied, the catalyst is operated briefly under fuel rich, lowoxygen exhaust gas conditions.
This releases the NOx from the base metal storage sites and allows it to be converted over theprecious metal components to nitrogen gas and water vapor.

Sulfur poses challenges for NOx absorbers. In addition to storing NOx, the NAC will also store sulfur, which reduces the capacity to store
NOx.
Although 2011 and later model year non-road engines must use ultra-low sulfur fuel (15-ppm),sulfur at any level requires the engine design to provide for a periodic de-sulfation process a
NOx Absorbers
sulfur at any level requires the engine design to provide for a periodic de sulfation process aprocess to remove sulfur from the catalyst.
This is similar to the NOx regeneration process, but at higher temperatures. We expect NOx absorbers to appear first in light-duty automotive applications.

Lean-NOx Catalysts A lean-NOx catalyst uses unburned hydrocarbons to reduce NOx over a catalyst. The catalyst may contain precious metals such as platinum or other materials such as zeolite. The NOx conversion efficiency depends on many factors but typical values are 10%-25% in
use over practical duty cycles. Lean-NOx catalysts do not have adequate NOx reduction capability for Tier 4 applications.ea NO cata ysts do ot ave adequate NO educt o capab ty o T e 4 app cat o s. However, lean-NOx catalysts are often an excellent option for retrofits. They are relatively easy to install and integrate with existing engine and equipment systems.

The urea-SCR system basically consists of three elements:
Catalyst The catalyst is mounted in the exhaust stream. It can be similar in outward appearance to a muffler, but depending on NOx reduction required
could be marginally larger. It contains chemical compounds which, in the presence of ammonia, help transform nitrogen
oxides into harmless chemicals.Urea Urea quality and concentration in aqueous solution are important and must be controlled
and distributed properly. Urea is carried on board the equipment as a water solution in a storage tank with a typical
capacity of 5% of the diesel tank. The storage tank is sized to minimize operator filling, but within packaging and weight
constraints of the equipment. The storage tank and urea injection system must be protected from freezing or have a controlled

heating system, since the urea-water solution solidifies at approximately -11C.Urea injection and control system A sophisticated injection system and controls (including
NOx and urea quality sensors) are required to deliver a precise amount of urea under allenvironmental conditions.
For each 1-g/hp-hr reduction in NOx, an SCR consumes urea at a rate of approx. 1.5% of theamount of fuel used.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems use a chemical reluctant, urea, which converts toammonia in the exhaust stream and reacts with NOx over a catalyst to form harmless nitrogengas and water.

Engine Research Laboratory, IIT Kanpur
SCR systems are being proposed today for mobile on-highway applications and are expected tobe introduced in Europe in October 2005.
In an SCR system, the urea injection rate must be tightly controlled. If the injection rate is too high, not all of the ammonia will react with the NOx, and some
ammonia will slip through the catalyst. If the rate is too low, the desired NOx reduction will not be achieved. Both situations are
undesirable and must be avoided.

Effect of Fuel SulfurDiesel fuel sulfur forms SO2 and Sulfates (PM) in exhaust.Catalysts oxides SO2 to SO3 which further increase the PM. Higher the exhaust temperature,
higher is the effect.Sulfur gets absorbed on the catalyst and reduce catalyst activity, hence efficiency.Higher sulfur can de-activate catalyst and poison base metal.H g e su u ca de act vate cata yst a d po so base eta .

NO2 has a key role in SCR NO2 plays an important role in NOx reduction in an SCR catalyst and in passive regeneration of soot
in a particulate filter. NO2 promotes high NOx conversion efficiency on vanadium catalysts through the fast SCR
(NO/NO2 = 1:1) and on base-metal exchanged zeolite catalysts through the fast (NO/NO2 = 1:1)and NO2-SCR reactions.
