Poisoning of Automotive Catalysts

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the more specific topic of poisoning just one category catalysts—namely, those used for purification automotive exhaust. Poisoning is a but particularly important aspect with far reaching technological and even economic consequences. It has been subject much detailed thorough investigation. Ample documentation by government regulation, required alteration long accepted fuel formulations, beginning 1975 automobile models, to permit installation catalytic devices on vehicles. Automotive fuels marketed under label “unleaded” have, indeed, proved be nearly devoid lead. In turn, availability made it possible design effective emission-control systems. should borne in mind, though, that this circumstance gives rise sophisticated sensitive The catalyst-poison interaction also being reinvestigated at new levels sophistication, bringing into play most modern analytical tools available. documents illustrates considerations importance basic principles technology universal importance.
