Abstract

NO reduces HNO₃ to HONO and surface nitrates to nitrites on a BaNa-Y zeolite, and it reacts with NO₂ to form N₂O ₃. Data are also presented which show that adsorbed NO⁺ reacts with water to form HONO. In the presence of NH₃ and H ₂O these processes lead to the formation of ammonium nitrite, which efficiently decomposes near 100°C to N₂ + H₂O, effecting the catalytic reduction of NO_x to N₂. A criterion for this path is that the optimum yield of N₂ is obtained with an equimolar mixture of NO + NO₂. Since ammonium nitrate, which can also form on this catalyst, does not significantly decompose at 200°C, a typical temperature for diesel exhaust, the reduction of nitrate to nitrite serves to regenerate active sites on the BaNa-Y zeolite.

N2 - NO reduces HNO3 to HONO and surface nitrates to nitrites on a BaNa-Y zeolite, and it reacts with NO2 to form N2O 3.
