Jhbj. Hoebink et al., Automotive exhaust gas conversion: from elementary step kinetics to prediction of emission dynamics, TOP CATAL, 16(1-4), 2001, pp. 319-327
Elementary step based kinetics show a high added value to describe the perf
ormance of catalytic exhaust gas converters under dynamic conditions, as de
monstrated with a Euro test cycle. Combination of such kinetic models for i
ndividual global reactions covers the mutual interactions via common adsorb
ates. Feed composition modulation as a transient kinetic technique provides
detailed information about elementary steps and their rate parameters.
