Researchers propose low-temperature SOFC unit for reducing NOx and oxidizing HCs in lean-burn engine exhaust

Green Car Congress

Their SOFC system can be operated without consuming the anode fuel (a reductant) at temperatures near that of the engine exhaust to eliminate the need for reductant refilling and extra heating. The NO x concentration in the exhaust of an automotive gasoline engine with spark ignition can be as high as 4000 ppm. —Huang et al.

Study Measures Impact of Biodiesel on Non-Regulated Pollutants in Heavy-Duty Engine

Green Car Congress

Methyl acrylate and methyl 3-butanoate were observed as significant species in the exhaust for B20 and B100 and may serve as markers of the presence of biodiesel in the fuel. However, conversion of 1-nitropyrene by the DPF was less than 50% for all fuels. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/es1008032. Ratcliff, A. McCormick, and Kent J.
