Abstract :Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in diesel engines is an exhaust after treatment system used for abatement of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. In order to synthesize Ag-Ni-TiO2/Cordierite catalyst in the conducted study, a solution including silver nitrate (AgNO3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2·6H2O) were used in the coating of the cordierite (2Al2O3-5SiO2-2MgO) main carrier structure. The prepared catalyst was characterized for morphological characteristics via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The NOx reduction measurements as catalytic was carried out at 20 °C intervals in the temperature range from 190 to 270°C at 1 kW and 3 kW motor loads and under 30000 h−1 space velocity (SV). Ethanol was used as a reductant during the experiments. As a results of the measurements, it was seen that the Ag-Ni-TiO2/Cordierite catalyst exhibited a good NOx conversion efficiency with 93.8 % at 270°C at 3 kW.
