The simultaneous Selective Catalytic Reduction of N2O and NO over Fe-exchanged zeolites

Iron-exchanged zeolites are industrial heterogeneous catalysts deployed to remediate anthropogenic emissions of both nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2). Despite the extensive scientific attention received, limited knowledge is availab ...

Assessing the effect of O2 dithering on CH4 oxidation on Pd/Al2O3

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Under periodic lean/rich operation generated by repeated O2 pulses (O2-dithering), the abatement of CH4 and NO is enhanced compared to static operation. However, it is not well understood how the dithering parameters (pulse amplitude and frequency) affect ...

Anisotropic In-Plane strain engineering Ni(OH)2 to activate alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

Kangning Zhao, Chao Yang

Realizing a hydrogen economy strongly requires alkaline water electrolysis to achieve large-scale generation of H2, but lacks stable and efficient catalysts. The insufficient active sites in Ni(OH)2 impair the catalytic performance of alkaline HER. Herein, ...

Size-resolved inhalation intake fractions for particles released from human activities in residential indoor environments

Dusan Licina, Marouane Merizak

Inhalation exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne particulate matter is a public health concern. Assessment of exposure can be enhanced through better knowledge of source-receptor relationships, which can be characterized through the inhalation in ...

Spectroscopic characterisation of TCV divertor towards a detached regime

Lorenzo Martinelli

The challenge of power exhaust of the high heat and particle fluxes foreseen for ITER and the forthcoming nuclear fusion reactors can be mitigated by operating in a detached divertor regime. This regime has been the object of three decades of studies, as i ...

Model-based impurity emission front control using deuterium fueling and nitrogen seeding in TCV

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Cristian Galperti, Artur Perek

This paper presents the first result using nitrogen-seeded exhaust feedback control of the NII impurity emission front in TCV. The NII emission front position is consistently located below its commonly used CIII counterpart, indicating the NII emission fro ...

Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...

Stability and Reactivity of a Polyoxymethylene Dimethyl Ether over Typical Catalysts for Diesel Emission Control

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) produced from methanol are considered as potential substitutes of Diesel fuel. Emissions of formaldehyde and other components have been observed, particularly under cold-start conditions in engine test-bench experimen ...

In situ spectroscopic studies of the effect of water on the redox cycle of Cu ions in Cu-SSZ-13 during selective catalytic reduction of NOx

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

The effect of water on the NH3-assisted selective catalytic reduction of NOx (NH3-SCR) has been largely neglected, despite the inevitable presence of water vapor in real emissions produced by fuel combustion. In this work, we investigated the role of water ...

Systematic extraction of a control-oriented model from perturbative experiments and SOLPS-ITER for emission front control in TCV

Artur Perek, Olivier Claude Martin Février, Mirko Wensing

Systematic extraction of locally valid dynamic models from experiments is necessary for controller design and the validation of high fidelity models. This paper describes the extraction of a dynamic model in the form of a transfer function, giving the dyna ...
