Promotion by Sodium in emission control catalysis: The difference between alkanes and alkenes in the Pd-catalysed reduction of NO by hydrocarbons
General
The activity and selectivity of Pd catalysts supported on YSZ and dosed with different amounts of Na promoter has been investigated for the reduction of NO by alkenes (C3H6) or alkanes (CH4). It is found that Na strongly promotes the reduction of NO by C3H6. Rate increases by an order of magnitude...
