EMISSION CATALYST TECHNOLOGY - NEW CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SECOND CENTURY OF AUTO-MOBILITY

摘要

The paper reviews the technologies available to meet the exhaust emission regulations for cars, light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and motorcycles adopted by the European Union for implementation during the new century. This includes low light-off catalysts, more thermally durable catalysts, improved substrate technology, hydrocarbon adsorbers, electrically heated catalysts, DeNO{sub}x catalysts and adsorbers, selective catalytic reduction and diesel particulate filters.
