NO 2 catalytic formation, consumption, and efflux in various types of diesel particulate filter

The high NO 2 /NO X ratio in the after-treatment system is beneficial to its performance and achieved by NO catalytic conversion in diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) located upstream (CRDPF), catalytic DPF (CDPF), or a combination of both (CCDPF). In order to effectively control the emission of particulates and nitrogen oxides, various types of diesel particulate filter models are established to compare NO 2 catalytic formation, consumption, and efflux. The results show that the catalytic performance of NO conversion is limited by mass transfer in DOC catalytic coating, while it is almost non-existent in CDPF. At low temperature, the passive regeneration of CDPF is slower than that of CRDPF, but as the temperature increases, the passive regeneration speed of CDPF will exceed that of CRDPF. CCDPF is the most effective for the NO 2 catalytic formation, consumption, and efflux in the hot-start and high-speed cycle and thereby is conducive to improve the performance of the diesel particulate filter and downstream selective catalytic reduction.
