Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are toxic and mainly contribute to the formation of
photochemical smog with a consequent remarkable impact to the air quality. A few …

Nitrogen-based fertilizers are necessary to increase the agricultural output since fixed
nitrogen is often the limiting factor for plant growth. The main ingredients in almost all …

The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) has been part of diesel exhaust systems since
regulations were introduced to limit the amount of harmful emissions released to the …

The method of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the interaction of the
model Pt/TiO2 catalysts with NO2 and the following reduction of the oxidized Pt …

The kinetics of NO oxidation was determined on two Pt catalysts with average particle sizes
of 2.4 nm (fresh) and 7.0 nm (sintered). The degree of surface oxidation after reaction, as …

Diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) were investigated for oxidation activity, NO conversion
stability, and sulfur poisoning/regeneration on Pd/Al2O3, Pt/Al2O3, and Pd–Pt/Al2O3 …

A solution of NH3 detection based on catalytic conversion of NH3 into NO x was proposed
by using MOS gas detectors and Pt-supported catalysts. The catalysts convert NH3 into NO …

Pt-and Pd-promoted Ce x Zr1–x O2 mixed oxides were characterized and investigated for
passive NOx adsorber applications. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a phase transition …

Bottom-up strategy was used for synthesis of mesoporous, tetragonal ZrO 2 (S BET> 300 m
2/g). The produced hollow zirconia spheres were modified either by impregnation with PtCl …

The hysteresis in the CO oxidation profile over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts has been intensively
studied, but its origin is still controversial. In this work, the influence of the Pt particle size and …
