Abstract

A lean NOx catalyst is needed to control NOx emissions generated by oxygen-rich combustion processes to obtain higher fuel economy. We have developed such a catalyst using modified mesoporous molecular sieves (MCM-41). An iron(II)-complex impregnated MCM-41 has been synthesized which has been further treated with [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2. This treatment resulted in further exchange of Na+ ions of the molecular sieves with Pd(NH3)42+ thus forming Catalyst A. The catalytic activity towards NOx, CO and HC was studied using simulated exhaust gas, as well as engine exhaust gas.
