OverviewDiesel soot emissions adversely affect human health, environment, vegetation, climate change, etc. pressurizing governments to have strict emission standards. This project describes the catalytic control of diesel soot emissions. The performance of perovskite is found most promising over spinel, hydrotalcite, and metal oxides catalysts for soot oxidation. LaCoO3 prepared by co-precipitation shows the best result (oxidizing soot totally at 370 oC) than catalyst prepared by sol-gel and solution combustion synthesis. Potash substituted catalyst is more effective than silver substituted. The optimum K substituted catalyst is found to be La0.9K0.1Co0.9Cu0.1O3. A novel finding of the project is that La0.7K0.3ZnOy does not form perovskite structure and remain as mixed metal oxides. This catalyst shows comparable activity to perovskite and yields the following kinetic expression: Rate = 6.46x10^10.exp(-138.12kJ/RT)(m)gsoot/gcat.s Full Product DetailsAuthor: Ram Prasad (Associate Professor Department of Botany Mahatma Gandhi Central University Bihar India) , Kumar AbhishekPublisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Imprint: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.90cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.231kg ISBN: 9783659542817ISBN 10: 3659542814 Pages: 152 Publication Date: 02 July 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
