Urea-scr Technology for Denox After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts

Urea-SCR Technology for deNOx After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts presents a complete overview of the

selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia/urea. The book starts with

an illustration of the technology in the framework of the current context (legislation,

market, system configurations), covers the fundamental aspects of the SCR process

(catalysts, chemistry, mechanism, kinetics) and analyzes its application to useful topics

such as modeling of full scale monolith catalysts, control aspects, ammonia injections

systems and integration with other devices for combined removal of pollutants.

Isabella Nova is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Energy, Politecnico of Milan, Italy. Nova’s research work is focused on the study of environmental catalytic processes, including Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH₃ and Diesel Particulate filters for the removal of soot and on new processes for the production of clean energy, such as the photocatalytic water splitting. She has co-authored over 100 publications on national and international journals in the fields of Chemical Reaction Engineering and Heterogeneous Catalysis and three national and international patents.
