Abstract
There are several problems related to the application of currently available NO x control technologies (i.e. three-way catalysts and the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH 3 ) to lean burn diesel engines, and thus a very significant market potential exists for an improved technology in this area. As a result, the selective catalytic reduction of NO by hydrocarbons derived from on board fuel has received a lot of attention in the past five years. Different forms of base and noble metal exchanged zeolites, as well as supported noble metals appear to be the most active catalysts for this family of reactions. The available literature in this area is summarized in this review, with emphasis placed on the performance of different zeolite and supported noble metal catalysts, the effect of the various exhaust gas components and the mechanistic implications.

A review of the selective reduction of NOx, with hydrocarbons under lean-burn conditions with non-zeolitic oxide and platinum group metal catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, it is concluded that although there is indirect, mainly spectroscopic, evidence for various reaction intermediates on the catalyst surface, it is difficult to confirm that any of these are involved in a critical mechanistic step because of a lack of a direct quantitative correlation between infrared and kinetic measurements.

Activity and durability of Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts for lean burn NOx reduction in the presence of water vapor

TL;DR: In this article, a novel method for the preparation of superior Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts is described, where FeCl 3 is sublimed into the cavities of H 2 -TPR, where it reacts chemically with the acid sites of the zeolite.
