CATALYST MATERIALS FOR AMMONIA OXIDATION IN LEAN-BURN ENGINE EXHAUST

摘要

An exhaust aftertreatment system and a method for treating exhaust produced by a lean-burn engine are provided. The exhaust aftertreatment system may include an exhaust gas treatment subsystem and a clean-up oxidation catalyst located downstream of the exhaust gas treatment subsystem. The clean-up oxidation catalyst can selectively oxidize NH3 to N2 in the hot, oxygen-abundant exhaust flow emanated from the lean-burn engine and passed through the exhaust gas treatment subsystem to help prevent ammonia slip to the atmosphere. The clean-up oxidation catalyst comprises perovskite oxide particles and/or manganese-containing mixed metal oxide particles dispersed on a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst.
