Abstract:

A diesel oxidation catalyst was prepared from several high performance materials: the new rare earth oxygen storage compound Ce0.75Zr0.25O2-Al2O3, the composite oxide Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 and chromium-modified β molecular sieve. These component materials were characterized and used to prepare a Pt-based catalyst designed to reduce diesel engine exhaust emissions. The results of low temperature N2 adsorption-desorption and oxygen storage capacity tests demonstrated that Ce0.75Zr0.25O2-Al2O3 exhibits a large specific surface area and excellent oxygen storage capacity, and that Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 exhibits superior textural properties. Evaluations of catalytic activity showed that the catalyst prepared from these materials has reduced capacity for the oxidation of SO2 but high catalytic activity towards the oxidation of hydrocarbons (HC) and CO, and is also able to convert the exhaust soluble organic fraction at temperatures as low as 140℃. Tests using a domestic YC4F-type diesel engine found that exhaust treated by the catalyst prepared in this research is capable of meeting the HC and CO emission requirements of the Euro V standard.
