Selective catalytic reduction: Adding an ammonia slip catalyst mitigates dosing errors

This paper uses computational simulation to compare the performance of two catalytic systems designed for the removal of oxides of nitrogen from automotive engine exhaust using selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The first system is comprised of an SCR catalyst alone, whilst the second system adds an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) to the end of an SCR catalyst. Both systems had the same total length. Comparisons of the NO x removal efficiency and...
