CATALYTIC Converter Abstract

This document summarizes the latest developments in diesel emissions regulations, engines, nitrogen oxide (NOx) control, particulate matter (PM) reductions, and hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. Regulations in both light-duty and heavy-duty sectors are tightening, which will impact diesel engines and emissions. Engine technology is addressing these needs through improvements like downsizing light-duty diesel engines for carbon dioxide savings. Developments in selective catalytic reduction systems focus on improving low-temperature performance and new catalyst formulations. Particulate filters effectively control PM, with advances in regeneration strategies, catalyst use, and substrate design. Effects of biodiesel on particulate filter functions are becoming clearer.

Abstract

This review summarizes the latest developments in diesel emissions regarding regulations, engines, NOx (nitrogen oxides) control, particulate matter (PM) reductions, and hydrocarbon (HC) and CO oxidation. Regulations are advancing with proposals for 70% tightening of fleet average light-duty (LD) criteria emissions likely to be proposed in California for 201622. CO 2 regulations in both the heavy - and light-duty sectors will also tighten and impact diesel engines and emissions, probably long into the future. Engine technology is addressing these needs. Light-duty diesel engines are making incremental gains with combustion enhancements that allow downsizing for CO

engine show trade-offs between hardware recipes, exhaust deNOx control, and fuel consumption. Much has recently been reported on optimized selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, with many reports on improving low temperature performance with proper reductant management and new catalyst formulations. Developments on HC-based deNOx are focused on lean NOx traps (LNTs) and the LNT+SCR systems, wherein the LNT is calibrated to generate ammonia for use in a downstream SCR. PM control with DPFs (diesel particulate filters) are very effective. DPF regeneration advances are reported in strategy, catalyst utilization, and substrate design. Biodiesel effects on DPF functions are becoming clearer. Finally, diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) are investigated in the context of impacting NO quite important in this regard.
