The formation of various species formed during the adsorption of NO, issued
from a synthetic lean-burn exhaust gas upon barium aluminates was studied
using FTIR and TGA. The results have been systematically compared to those
obtained with bulk BaO. Two factors are responsible for the difference obse
rved during adsorption/desorption tests on the two solids. On one hand, sta
ble carbonates are formed on BaO whereas no carbonate is formed on barium a
luminate. On the other hand, the structure of the nitrates formed on these
two compounds is very different, an N-bounded nitrate is formed on barium a
luminate and not on bulk BaO. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
