Precious metal loaded ln/H-ZSM-5 for reduction of nitric oxide with methane in the presence of water vapor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:468008

The catalytic activity of In/H-ZSM-5 for the selective reduction of nitric oxide (NO) with methane was improved by the addition of Pt and Ir which catalyzed NO oxidation, even in the presence of water vapor. It was also found that the precious metal, particularly Ir loaded In/H-ZSM-5 gave a low reaction order with respect to NO, and then showed a high catalytic activity for the reduction of NO at low concentrations, if compared with In/H-ZSM-5. The latter effect of the precious metal is attributed to the enhancement of the chemisorption of NO and also to the increase in the amount of NO{sub 2} adsorbed on In sites.
