In recent investigations, it has been found that ZSM5 like catalysts were preferred nor the NOx reduction in the lean burn operating engines. The present experiment is focused on the spark ignition engine emission reduction using metal doped Cu-ZSM5 and Ce.Cu-ZSM zeolite based catalyst. Copper and cerium site was found very much active for the fast reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The engine used for the testing is a twin-cylinder petrol fuelled engine coupled with an eddy current dynamometer. The emissions from the engine were measured by AVL DI-gas analyzer. Initially, the emission reading was measured from the commercial catalytic converter that was fitted near to the exhaust and then the emissions were measured from using the Cu-ZSM5 and Ce.Cu-ZSM5 zeolite based catalytic converters. The results indicate that the zeolite based catalysts reduces the exhaust emission more than that of the commercial catalytic convertor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
