Abstract: | We discovered a family of catalysts that can effectively reduce NOx with methane in the presence of excess oxygen. This new catalytic chemistry offers an alternative means for controlling NOx emissions. Complete reduction of nitric oxide was obtained at 400°C over a Co-ZSM-5 catalyst. The presence of oxygen in the feed greatly enhances the nitric oxide reduction activity on Co-ZSM-5, and the nitric oxide conversion is strongly related to the inlet methane level. On the other hand, Cu-ZSM-5, which is a unique catalyst for the direct nitric oxide decomposition, is a poor catalyst for nitric oxide reduction by methane in the presence of excess of oxygen. |
