Three Way Catalyst

Presented is a method for model based diagnostics of automotive three-way catalysts (TWC). The model relates measurable engine inputs (engine air mass (AM) and catalyst temperature), to a metric indicating oxygen storage capacity, KTWC. The model structure is identified using orthogonal least squares (OLS). The model coefficients are estimated via the instrumental variable four step (IV4) approach. TWC diagnostics is realized using an information synthesis (IS) technique. This diagnostics method is experimentally validated using data from federal test procedure (FTP) driving cycle for a healthy (full useful life, FUL) and failed (threshold) TWC.

Three Way Catalyst

Presented is the model based diagnostics of a three-way catalyst (TWC). The proposed TWC model relates measurable engine inputs (engine air mass (AM) and catalyst temperature) to a metric that quantifies TWC oxygen storage capacity. The TWC model structure is based on the dynamics of the TWC and identified using orthogonal least squares (OLS). The model coefficients are estimated using an instrumental variables four step (IV4) approach. TWC diagnostics is realized by means of an information synthesis (IS) technique where changes in the adapted TWC model coefficients are utilized to estimate TWC health. The approach is experimentally validated on a federal test procedure (FTP) drive cycle for healthy (full useful life, FUL) and failed (threshold) TWCs. The results will show that a 100% accurate classification in TWC health estimation (FUL or threshold) is produced for the catalysts tested.

Three Way Catalyst

An overview of modification of cerium oxide, CeO2which is employed in the three-way catalyst (TWCs) is presented in this article. The modifications of cerium oxide, CeO2incorporated with the metal oxides for the improvement of thermal stability, microstructure and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) are discussed. In view of that, the types of metal oxide are grouped into transition metals, rare earth metals, and alkaline metals and the effect of each group into cerium oxide, CeO2are elaborated.

Atmospheric Flow

Autothermal reforming of propane for hydrogen over Ni catalysts supported on a variety of perovskites was performed in an atmospheric flow reactor. Perovskite is known for its higher thermal stability and oxygen storage capacity, but catalytic activity of itself is low. A sites of the ABO3 structured perovskites were occupied by La while B sites by one of Fe, Co, Ni, and Al by citrate method. The composition of the reactant mixture was H2O/C/O2 = 8.96/1.0/1.1. The changes in the states of the catalysts after reaction were analyzed by XRD, TPD, and TGA. Ni/LaAlO3 catalyst maintained the perovskite structure after reaction. It showed higher hydrogen yield and thermal stability compared to those of the catalysts with Fe, Co, or Ni in B sites. Catalysts prepared by deposition-precipitation (DP) method showed higher activity than those prepared by impregnation method, presumably due to the smaller sizes of the NiO crystal particles.
