Definitions

  • the present disclosure is directed to compositions, components, emission treatment systems, and methods suitable for treating the exhaust gas stream of an ammonia-fueled internal combustion engine to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (N0 x ).
  • One of the least intrusive ways to achieve reduction in greenhouse gas is to change fuel from gasoline/diesel to ammonia, a non-hydrocarbon fuel.
  • Ammonia is one of only a few compounds that is liquid at room temperature, rapidly releases energy upon combustion, and which provides a high energy density by volume.
  • Ammonia is comprised of only hydrogen and nitrogen atoms. Thus, when burned, ammonia will not release carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or other greenhouse pollutants.
  • the emissions from the burned ammonia are typically nitrogen and water vapor. More particularly, complete combustion of ammonia can be described by the following equation:
  • ammonia has about 20% less heating value (energy content) than diesel on a volume-basis, more ammonia fuel is necessary to generate the same power as a diesel-fueled vehicle.
  • an emission treatment system that provides, for example, effective NOx reduction for ammonia-fueled engines.
  • the present disclosure is directed to emission treatment systems and methods for NOx abatement in an exhaust stream of an ammonia-fueled engine.
