Sulfur Deactivation of NOx Storage Catalysts: A Multiscale Modeling Approach
Lean NOx Trap (LNT) catalysts, a promising solution for
reducing the noxious nitrogen oxide emissions from the lean burn and Diesel engines, are
technologically limited by the presence of sulfur in the exhaust gas stream. Sulfur
stemming from both fuels and lubricating oils is oxidized during the combustion event and
mainly exists as SOx (SO2 and SO3) in
the exhaust. Sulfur oxides interact strongly with the NOx
trapping material of a LNT to form thermodynamically favored sulfate species, consequently
leading to the blockage of NOx sorption sites and altering the
catalyst operation. Molecular and kinetic modeling represent a valuable tool for
predicting system behavior and evaluating catalytic performances. The present paper
demonstrates how fundamental ab initio calculations can be used as a valuable source for
designing kinetic models developed in the IFP Exhaust library, intended for vehicle
simulations. The concrete example we chose to illustrate our approach was SO3
adsorption on the model NOx storage material, BaO.
SO3 adsorption was described for various sites (terraces, surface steps and
kinks and bulk) for a closer description of a real storage material. Additional rate and
sensitivity analyses provided a deeper understanding of the poisoning phenomena
