| Abstract: | A reactor was designed for the conversion
of exhaust pollutants from an internal combustion engine using gasoline as fuel.
A bed height of 420 mm was used with an internal diameter of 40 mm; a
space-time of 23.6 s and a fractional conversion of 0.99 at a space velocity of
0.042 m/s was achieved. A catalyst formulation of PtO2 (1%), Devarda
alloy (Al, 45; Cu, 50 and Zn 5%) with NHVO3 and  -Al2O5
support was prepared to meet the reaction specification of particle length 0.28±
2 mm, and diameter of 0.15 mm. Performance evaluation of the
pollutant conversion at 375°C ± 25°C showed 98% conversion of CO, 99% of HC and
NOx 98% with 100% hydrogen utilisation. |
