Abstract

Cerium-, copper-cerium coexchanged ZSM-5, copper-MCM-22, copper- and cerium-EMT type zeolite, copper-FAU type zeolite and copper-Beta exhibit an activity of the same order as that of copper-ZSM-5 in NO X reduction under simulated Diesel exhaust conditions. Propene was used as the reducing agent. The catalysts were used in a powder form and their activities tested in a fixed-bed flow reactor at a space velocity of 50 000 H − 1 . Copper-SAPO-34 and cerium- and gallium-EMT type zeolite have a moderate activity under the same conditions. The presence of water vapor inhibits the activity of EMT-zeolites. When an ageing procedure is carried out on copper-EMT type zeolite, dealumination occurs. The increase of the Si/Al ratio of the zeolite does not limit the dealumination process. The exchange of the zeolite with lanthanum prevents the zeolite from dealumination but leads to a loss of the catalytic activity.
