Abstract
The influence of aging environment of model diesel oxidation catalyst Pt/Al2O3 on the NO oxidation activity is studied. The fresh catalyst Pt/Al/F (calcined in air at 500 °C) is aged with or without phosphorus (P) poisoning (7.5 wt%) at 800 °C either in air (P/Pt/Al/O or Pt/Al/O) or in simulated diesel exhaust (P/Pt/Al/R or Pt/Al/R). Catalyst aged under diesel exhaust environment (Pt/Al/R) surprisingly presents the best NO oxidation activity under excess of O2 followed by the fresh (Pt/Al/F) and thermally aged (Pt/Al/O) catalysts. The activity difference between the catalysts is quite large, especially between Pt/Al/R and Pt/Al/O that are aged at the same temperatures but under different environments suggesting the importance of the aging environment for the catalytic activity. The NO oxidation activity of P poisoned catalysts P/Pt/Al/R and P/Pt/Al/O is minute as compared to their P free counter parts indicating that chemical aging is more detrimental for catalytic efficiency than thermal aging.
