Selective catalytic reduction with NH3 (NH3-SCR technology), based on V2O5/WO3/TiO2 catalysts, has been previously commercialized for abating NOx emissions from various stationary and mobile lean-burn or diesel engines. However, meeting the uniquely stringent US EPA 2010 regulations for diesel engines required introduction of a new class of SCR catalysts, based on Cu- or Fe-exchanged zeolites. While remarkably active and stable, these new materials proved substantially more difficult than vanadia-based catalysts to operate transiently on the road, due to their much higher NH3 storage. The objective of this work was to develop a concise experimental protocol, elucidating multiple catalytic functions, steady-state and transient, of practical relevance to the mobile SCR applications. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of such functions, using select data from various representative Cu- and Fe-zeolite catalysts. While the bulk of the reported results originated directly from the developed protocol, additional experiments, validating the assumptions or clarifying unexpected experimental observations, are included.
