“…Although a number of studies have been devoted to mechanical and steady-state kinetics of the SCR process (Dumesic et al, 1993;Tufano and Turco, 1993;Odenbrand et al, 1994;Topsae et al, 1995b), the precise sequence of steps involved in the reaction is still far from being completely understood. Studies on the dynamics of the reaction, on the other hand, are scarce in the literature (Andersson et al, 1994;Noskov et al, 1996;Orsenigo et al, 1996;Tronconi et al, 1996). In view of this situation, a study of the DeNO, reaction under nonstationary conditions has been undertaken in our laboratories in order to gain additional insight into the adsorption-desorption characteristics of the reactants NH, and NO, and into the mechanics and the dynamic behavior of the reaction.…”
