Selective catalytic reduction of NO{sub x} with hydrocarbons (propane and propene) (HC) over 1.47 wt% Cu-MFI (Si/Al = 27) catalyst in the was investigated over the range 473-723 K. Both steady-state and transient activities were evaluated. Propene gives the highest NO conversion at 673 K while propane is a reducer which is much better at 573-623 K (under steady-state conditions). The relationship of pretreatment in HC or HC + NO to transient activity was investigated by comparing NO conversion in the presence of O{sub 2} for different pretreatments. Transient formation of N{sub 2} and CO{sub 2} is observed for reactions of pretreated catalyst with NO and O{sub 2}. 38 refs., 10 figs., 4 tabs.
