Ammonia/urea selective catalytic reduction is an efficient technology to control NOx emission from diesel engines. One of its critical challenges is the performance degradation of selective catalytic reduction catalysts due to the hydrothermal aging experienced in real-world operations during the lifetime. In this study, hydrothermal aging effects on the reduction of ammonia adsorption capacity over a commercial Cu-zeolite selective catalytic reduction catalyst were investigated under actual engine exhaust conditions. Ammonia adsorption site densities of the selective catalytic reduction catalysts aged at two different temperatures of 750°C and 850°C for 25 h with 10% H2O were experimentally measured and compared to that of fresh catalyst on a dynamometer test bench with a heavy-duty diesel engine. The test results revealed that hydrothermal aging significantly decreased the ammonia adsorption capacity of the current commercial Cu-zeolite selective catalytic reduction catalyst. Hydrothermal treatment at 750°C reduced the ammonia adsorption site to 62.5% level of that of fresh catalyst, while hydrothermal treatment at 850°C lowered the adsorption site to 37.0% level of that of fresh catalyst. Also, in this study, numerical simulation and kinetic analysis were carried out to quantify the impact of hydrothermal aging on the reduction of ammonia adsorption capacity by introducing an aging coefficient. The kinetic parameter calibrations based on actual diesel engine tests with a commercial monolith Cu-zeolite selective catalytic reduction catalyst provided a highly realistic kinetic parameter set of ammonia adsorption/desorption and enabled a mathematical description of hydrothermal aging effect.

Selective Catalytic Reduction catalyst (Cu-Mn/CSC) was derived from coconut shell carbon (CSC). The bimetallic catalysts, Copper and Manganese (Cu-Mn), were deposited onto CSC using wet impregnation technique while the calcination stage was performed under low temperature ambient air. The samples were then characterized using nitrogen adsorption-and-desorption, carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption, ammonia temperature-programmed desorption, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction as well as scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the synthesis process increased the external surface area and regulated the distribution of slit-shape pores on Cu-Mn/CSC. Besides, Cu-Mn was found to be reduced and the surface has more acidic groups compared to basic. These findings indicated the potential of using CSC as a precursor for NOx-Selective Catalytic Reduction catalyst.
