ABSTRACT
In the near future the demand for diesel driven vehicles is projected to increase but a
palladium-based diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) cannot be applied due to its intolerance to
sulphur. In this study, we will develop catalyst formulations that may be utilised in the DOC
system and an emphasis will be placed on the catalytic activity with respect to its sulphur
tolerance for coexisting oxidation of CO and the unburnt hydrocarbons (HC).Growing alarms
on health effect and pressure to fulfil the governmental directives for the reduction of
pollutants emissions from diesel engines are paving the way for the development of tailored
treatment systems. These cannot be accomplished by engine modifications, fuel pre-
treatments or simply better tuning of the combustion process; thus a convenient way of
treating diesel and off-gases is needed.
Automobile manufacturers scrambled to find an effective solution to rising air pollution
levels and respond to demands by both consumers and governments are likely to lower air
pollution and smog caused by automobile emissions.Precious metals are extensively used in
automobile catalytic converters for pollution control. Evidence from preliminary studies
showed that catalysts supported by TiO2 or Al2O3 presented greater potential for this
application. For CO oxidation, the highest initial activity was exhibited by the Pt-only
catalysts followed by the Pd-Pt alloys, and lastly the Pd-only formulations.
This report outlines background of DOC, together with its preparation and activity testing
that will be conducted at Mintek AMD laboratories. Shifts of light-off curves to higher
temperatures will be studied. CO and HC conversion graphs will also be plotted to check the
activity of each catalyst. The catalysts will also be tested for deactivation.
