Title: Sulphur storage and hydrogen sulphide release from a three-way catalyst equipped car

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5423281

Gasoline fuels contain varying amounts of sulphur. Sulphur has a great influence on the emissions from catalyst equipped cars. Standard catalysts of European-type have been investigated regarding sulphur storage and release during different operating conditions. Papers presented earlier on H/sub 2/S problems from three-way catalyst equipped cars have not illustrated the dependence upon catalyst age and driving conditions. This paper discusses tests and results of H/sub 2/S release in connection with closed throttle operations and evaporative canister purging.
