    TCICoffers a great advantage in

    reducing emissions.Fuel Injection system holds the key tocombustion and emission optimization.Electronic control is more required tocontrol precise amount of fuel andinjection timing.

    Cooled EGR is another way to reduceNOx but optimization is necessary.

    After treatment devices such asoxidation catalysts and particulate trapsreduce tailpipe CO, HC and PM.

    Sulphur reduction of fuel is essentialif aftertreatment devices are to be used

    Lean Nox Trap and SCR are underdevelopment which help inreducingNox emissions

    DIESEL EMISSION CONTROL

    REQUIREMENTS DIESEL OXIDATIOCATALYST (DOC):

    For CO & HC reduction. It does not alter NOx Reduce SOF portion of PM

    It should not oxidize SO2to SO3

    The catalysts such as the precious metals (Pt, Pd), which are active tooxidize the SOF are also active towards the oxidation of SO2to SO3.

    Adding base metal Oxides (Vanadia) to high Pt loaded catalyst tosuppress the sulphate making reactions.

    At low temperature SOF is adsorbed in pores & at high temperatureH2SO4is released. This is avoided with washcoat additives such assilica, zirconia, titania.

    Performance Requirements for DPF

    Four basic requirements which DPF must meet:

    adequate filtration efficiency to satisfy particulate

    emissions legislation;

    low pressure drop to minimize fuel penalty and

    conserve engine power;

    high thermal shock resistance to ensure filter

    integrity during soot regeneration;

    high surface area per unit volume for compact

    packaging.

    HC De-Nox:

    Fuel is injected downstream of catalyst which acts as a NOx

    redundant. Operating temp. window 200 to 300 deg C.

    NOx Adsorber ( Lean NOx Trap ):

    Base metal Barium Alumina absorbs and stores NOx in lean

    burn operation. Regeneration reqd to avoid deposition on

    catalyst material. Occasionally rich mixture is fed which converts

    adsorbed Nitrate into N2 .

    Urea SCR:

    Urea in solid or aqueous form is used. In the presence of

    catalyst urea decomposes to produce NH3, which reacts with

    NOx selectively. NH3 reacts with NO and NO2 converting to N2

    molecules and H2O.

    HC DeNOx Catalyst Or Diesel Lean NOx Catalyst (DLNC)

    Reducing NOx by HC under the excess of oxygen is currently

    the most advanced diesel DeNOx concept Zeolite absorbs HC during Cold Start and when the temp is

    high enough for light-off, HC is released for reduction of NOx.

    HC emissions are used to reduce NOx at around 300C

    The catalyst for the HC DeNOx is Pt on support oxide

    (Al2O3, SiO2,TiO2, ZrO2..)

    This method requires reasonable amounts of HC in the exhaust

    gas, which can be achieved, either by post injection using CRDi

    or by secondary fuel injection.

    NOx reduction up to 30% possible.

    However, there is fuel penalty (3-6%) and expensive system

    cost.

    HC DeNOx Mechanism

    NO + O2= NO2

    [NO activation, requires reducible site]

    CxHy+ NO2= CO2 + N2 + H2O (Preferred)

    [Competition for HC, on oxidizable sites]

    CxHy+ O2=CO2+ H2O (Not preferred)[HC oxidation, very fast]

    NOx Adsorber Catalysts

    Lean conditions (lambda > 1):

    Oxidises CO and HC to CO2 and H2O

    Oxidises NO to NO2

    NO2 is stored as Nitrate

    Rich conditions (lambda < 1):

    Nitrates are reduced to NO2

    NO2 is released and reduced to N2.

    NOx reduction > 70% possible.

    Requirements: S < 10 ppm

    Urea SCR

    Within Europe, the principal NOx control strategystarting in 2005, is Selective Catalytic Reduction(SCR) using ammonia, derived from urea as thereductant.

    Here ammonia reacts with NOx selectively on acatalyst, such as V2O5TiO2, under oxygen richexhaust gas

    Urea/water solution reacts at > 200 Cto form NH3 and CO2.

    NH3 reduces NO and NO2 to N2. NOx reduction > 80 % possible.

    Fuel with S up to 500 ppm can be used.
