Abstract:

The gas file, surface file and thermal file of LNT in Chemkin were rewritten, and the adsorption model of lean NOx trap (LNT) , which included two kinds of adsorption paths, was developed to investigate the influence of CO2 concentration and temperature of lean burn gasoline exhaust on the adsorption path from
150 to 400 ℃ . The main research results show that the presence of CO2 has influence on the both paths, and CO2 has more inhibition on nitrite path than nitrate path. With the concentration of CO2 increasing, the effect of inhibition weakens. The influence of exhaust temperature on both of the paths is more significant. During low temperature 150-200 ℃ , nitrite path is major path because of the inactivation of nitrite evolution and NO oxidation. While at the high temperatures of 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ , two paths have similar occupancy
