Direct catalytic decomposition of nitric oxide. Quarterly technical progress report No. 7, April--June 1993

Description: This project investigates a suitable catalyst system for direct NO decomposition in post-combustion gas streams. This process does not use a reductant, such as the ammonia used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NO{sub x} to nitrogen. Therefore, it is greatly simplified process basically involving passing the flue gas through a catalytic converter. Catalysts are prepared by incorporating metal cations into zeolite supports according to ion exchange procedures widely used in preparation o… more

Description: This report describes work performed on a new concept for integrated pollutant control: a cross-flow filter comprised of layered, gas permeable membranes that act as a particle filter, an SO {sub 2} sorbent, and a NO {sub x} reduction catalyst. One critical element of the R D program is the development of mixed metal oxide materials that serve as combined SO {sub 2} sorbents and NO {sub x} reduction catalysts. In this seventh quarterly progress report, we summarize the performance characteristi… more

Direct catalytic decomposition of nitric oxide. Quarterly technical progress report No. 8, July--September 1993

Description: Six Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts with different Cu exchange levels were prepared according to our earlier reports. Experimental tests have suggested that the active sites of Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts for nitric oxide decomposition are square planar four-coordinated Cu{sup 2+} cations. Conversion of NO into N{sub 2} and O{sub 2} increases linearly with the amount of square planar four-coordinated Cu{sup 2+}, and the turn over frequency of the NO decomposition over the catalysts is not sensitive to total Cu ion-e… more
