Abstract :It is shown how the deactivation of a diesel SCR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Selective Catalytic Reduction); catalyst by compounds in the exhaust gases influences the kinetics of the catalyst. Results are given for the fresh insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.56 % V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 ); catalyst and the ones used in the rig for 890 h and 2299 h. The reactions of 700 ppm NH 3 and 2 % O 2 in Helium yielded N 2 , N 2 O, and NO at increasing temperatures. Simulations were performed with COMSOL Multiphysics using a 3-D model of the catalyst system. The experimental values of the products N 2 , N 2 O, and NO were very nicely fitted by the kinetic model used. All three ammonia oxidation reaction rates were of the first order in the concentration of NH 3 . A preliminary study using non-isothermal conditions showed the maximal temperature increase to be 0.15 K. Thus, further simulations were done with an isothermal model. The deactivation reduces the pre-exponential factors and the activation energies for the formation of N 2 , N 2 O, and NO. The formation of N 2 is not substantially influenced by deactivation. The changes in the kinetics of the catalytic NH 3 oxidation by deactivation is reported for the first time in the present study.
