A Review of Solid Materials as Alternative Ammonia Sources for Lean NOx Reduction with SCR

From Delphi
 

 

The need for improved emissions control in lean exhaust to meet tightening, world-wide NOx emissions standards has led to the development of selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia as a major technology for emissions control. Current systems are being designed to use a solution of urea (32.5 wt %) dissolved in water or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) as the ammonia source. While DEF or AdBlue® is widely used as a source of ammonia, it has a number of issues at low temperatures, including freezing below -12 oC, solid deposit formation in the exhaust, and difficulties in dosing at exhaust temperatures below 200 oC.
