Application of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry for analysis of diesle exhaust emissions.
EMSL Project ID
2432
Abstract
Recent gas bench testing has revealed that mildly oxidized organic components are critical for catalytic activity. Aldehydes, ketones and possibly alcohols seem to be good candidates for providing the reduction of NOx to nitrogen and oxygen. One source of these oxidized components can be obtained from reaction of propylene with a non-thermal plasma(NTP). This proposal incorporates the high sensitivity and mild ionization capability of the Ion Trap to help understand how NTP operational parameters alter diesel hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.
