  2. 6. Experimental Studies of NOx Catalysts; Storage, Reduction and Sulphur Deactivation

    Author : Annika Amberntsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; barium oxide; NOx storage; platinum; rhodium; sulphur poisoning; NOx reduction;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis work was to investigate how different gaseous compounds, present in an automotive exhaust from lean-tuned combustion, interact with so-called NOx storage catalysts containing Al2O3 as a support, BaO as the NOx storage compound and noble metals to provide oxidation and reduction functions. The investigations included model sample preparations, flow reactor studies with various gas mixtures and spectroscopic experiments (FTIR and XPS). READ MORE

  4. 7. Acceptor-doped barium zirconate: Oxidation, hydration and space-charge formation

    Author : Anders Lindman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : Over the past decades, advancements in technology have relied greatly on the development of new functional inorganic materials. Detailed structural characterization of these materials is key for the understanding and also prediction of chemical and physical properties. READ MORE

  6. 9. Fundamental Studies of Catalytic NOx Removal - Micro Kinetic Modelling, Monte Carlo Simulations and Flow Reactor Experiments

    Author : Louise Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NO oxidation; Monte Carlo simulations; platinum oxide; kinetic modelling; NOx storage; barium oxide; environmental catalysis; NOx removal; platinum; flow reactor measurements;

    Abstract : It is essential to decrease the CO2 emissions from vehicles, since CO2 is a greenhouse gas. One way to improve fuel economy and decrease CO2 emissions, is to run the engine with oxygen excess, so-called lean-burn operation. However, a major problem here is the reduction of the NOx in a lean atmosphere. READ MORE
