Abstract
A new dual layer monolithic AdSCR system (adsorption + selective catalytic reduction) constituted by Cu/CHA (top) and BaO/Al2O3 (bottom) was prepared and studied as a potential solution to improve the low-T performances of NH3-SCR catalysts. Two washcoat formulations were considered. The samples were characterized through optical microscopy and SEM-EDX; the ammonia storage capacity and the catalytic activity in the standard NH3-SCR reaction were also studied. When using water as solvent during the deposition, migration of Ba into the Cu-zeolite layer was observed, resulting in a decay of both ammonia storage capacity and NH3-SCR activity. On the other hand, when water was replaced by n-butanol, the two layers were well segregated, and no loss of SCR performances was noted. The butanol-based formulation exhibited promising performances in the NOx abatement during cold-start transients, with a NO removal efficiency of 31%, prior to ammonia injection, and of 52% after ammonia injection.
