They focus on the ID simulation of an urea SCR system. The system includes a model for N02 production on a DOC, a model for urea injection, urea decomposition and hydrolysis catalyst, a model for a vanadium-type SCR catalyst and a model for NH3 decomposition on a clean-up catalyst. The catalyst models consist of a ID monolith model with global kinetic reactions on the washcoat surface, kinetic parameters have been taken from literature or adjusted to experimental data from literature. The complete model was implemented in AVL BOOST (2006). AVL BOOST is an engine cycle and gas exchange simulation software tool, which allows for the building of a model of the entire engine.

Standard vanadium type SCR catalysts have an upper temperature limit of about 450°C. Above this temperatme conversion drops rapidly as a result of ammonia oxidation and at even higher temperatures deactivation follows. For developing new catalysts zeolite type catalysts were chosen new developments showed a very high SCR activity for a combination of CuH-MOR H-MOR in a temperature window of 200 - 600°C [6]. 

The sulfate production of this type of catalysts, Fi e 5, follows the same trend as depicted in Figure 2 at about 400°C the vanadium type catalyst and Cu-MOR start producing sulfates whereas Ce-MOR does not produce any sulfates. One might expect no ammonium sulfate formation when the catalyst does not oxidize SO2. However, the deactivation in a diesel exhaust or in model gases occurs at a much lower temperature than when SO2 oxidation is observed. 

The main techmcal problem for application of SCR in transient operation lies in the control of the amount of ammonia/urea injected as explained before. Consequently, attention must be paid to the anunonia oxidative capacity of the catalysts. As can be seen in Figure 6 and 7 Ce-MOR does not produce any NO diuing SCR operation or ammonia oxidation whereas the vanadium type catalyst (and also the Cu-MOR) start to produce NO at higher temperatures. 

For engines with very high power density, the temperatures downstream of the turbo charger may exceed 550 °C. The usage of on-highway vanadium-type catalysts is limited by the maximum exhaust temperatures and has to be evaluated carefully. For temperatures above 450 to 500 °C, ammonia oxidation as an undesired side reaction may reduce the NO conversion capacity. At temperatures... 

Zeolite-type catalysts will deactivate very rapidly with high-sulfur fuels. Vanadium-type catalysts are sulfur tolerant. To a certain degree, the SCR activity is increased by the presence of sulfur-oxides as the catalyst surface will be acidified. But two other mechanisms are limiting Possible formation of ammonium salts and oxidation of SO2 to SO3 [8]. 

The Fe—Co alloys exist ia the fee stmeture above 912—986°C to ca 70 wt % Co. Below this temperature range, the stmeture changes to bcc. At ca 50 wt % Co, the material further orders to the CsCl-type B2 stmeture below about 730°C and becomes very brittle. The addition of V ia Permeadur retards the rate of orderiag and imparts substantial ductiHty to the adoy, although quenching is necessary. Vanadium addition also iacreases the resistivity, eg, from 7—26 fifl-cm usiag a 2% addition. 

The second type of solution polymerization concept uses mixtures of supercritical ethylene and molten PE as the medium for ethylene polymerization. Some reactors previously used for free-radical ethylene polymerization in supercritical ethylene at high pressure (see Olefin POLYMERS,LOW DENSITY polyethylene) were converted for the catalytic synthesis of LLDPE. Both stirred and tubular autoclaves operating at 30—200 MPa (4,500—30,000 psig) and 170—350°C can also be used for this purpose. Residence times in these reactors are short, from 1 to 5 minutes. Three types of catalysts are used in these processes. The first type includes pseudo-homogeneous Ziegler catalysts. In this case, all catalyst components are introduced into a reactor as hquids or solutions but form soHd catalysts when combined in the reactor. Examples of such catalysts include titanium tetrachloride as well as its mixtures with vanadium oxytrichloride and a trialkyl aluminum compound (53,54). The second type of catalysts are soHd Ziegler catalysts (55). Both of these catalysts produce compositionaHy nonuniform LLDPE resins. Exxon Chemical Company uses a third type of catalysts, metallocene catalysts, in a similar solution process to produce uniformly branched ethylene copolymers with 1-butene and 1-hexene called Exact resins (56). 

Ferrophosphoms is produced as a by-product in the electrothermal manufacture of elemental phosphoms, in which iron is present as an impurity in the phosphate rock raw material. The commercial product contains ca 23—29% P and is composed primarily of Fe2P [1310-43-6] and Fe P [12023-53-9] along with impurities such as Cr and V. Ferrophosphoms is used in metallurgical processes for the addition of phosphoms content. Low concentrations (up to - 0.1%) of phosphoms in wrought and cast iron and steel not only increases the strength, hardness, and wear resistance but also improves the flow properties. In large stmctural members and plates, it is desirable to use a type of steel that does not need to be quenched or tempered, and thus does not exhibit weld-hardening. This property is afforded by the incorporation of a small quantity of phosphoms in steel. Ferrophosphoms from western U.S. phosphoms production is used as a raw material for the recovery of vanadium (see Vanadiumand vanadiumalloys). 

The important (3-stabilizing alloying elements are the bcc elements vanadium, molybdenum, tantalum, and niobium of the P-isomorphous type and manganese, iron, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and siUcon of the P-eutectoid type. The P eutectoid elements, arranged in order of increasing tendency to form compounds, are shown in Table 7. The elements copper, siUcon, nickel, and cobalt are termed active eutectoid formers because of a rapid decomposition of P to a and a compound. The other elements in Table 7 are sluggish in their eutectoid reactions and thus it is possible to avoid compound formation by careful control of heat treatment and composition. The relative P-stabilizing effects of these elements can be expressed in the form of a molybdenum equivalency. Mo (29) ... 

Alloys of the P type respond to heat treatment, are characterized by higher density than pure titanium, and are more easily fabricated. The purpose of alloying to promote the P phase is either to form an aE-P-phase aEoy having commercially useful quaUties, to form aEoys that have duplex a- and P-stmcture to enhance he at-treatment response, ie, changing the a and P volume ratio, or to use P-eutectoid elements for intermetallic hardening. The most important commercial P-aEoying element is vanadium. 

Va.na.dium (II) Oxide. Vanadium(II) oxide is a non stoichiometric material with a gray-black color, metallic luster, and metallic-type electrical conductivity. Metal—metal bonding increases as the oxygen content decreases, until an essentially metal phase containing dissolved oxygen is obtained (14). 

Catalyst residues, particularly vanadium and aluminum, have to be removed as soluble salts in a water-washing and decanting operation. Vanadium residues in the finished product are kept to a few ppm. If oil-extended EPDM is the product, a metered flow of oil is added at this point. In addition, antioxidant, typically of the hindered phenol type, is added at this point. 

Aero-derivative gas turbines eannot operate on heavy fuels, thus if heavy fuels was a eriteria then the frame type turbines would have to be used. With heavy fuels, the power delivered would be redueed after about a weeks of operation by about 10%. On-line turbine wash is reeommended for turbines with high vanadium eontent in their fuel, sinee to counteract vanadium magnesium salts have to be added. These salts cause the vanadium when combusted in the turbine to be turned to ashes. This ash settles on the turbine blades and reduces the cross sectional area, thus reducing the turbine power. 

Liquid fuels require atomization and treatment to inhibit sodium and vanadium content. Liquid fuels can drastically reduce the life of a unit if not properly treated. A typical fuel system is shown in Figure 4-7. The effect of fuels on gas turbines and the details of types of fuel handling systems is given in Chapter 12. 

A high-nickel alloy is used for increased strength at elevated temperature, and a chromium content in excess of 20% is desired for corrosion resistance. An optimum composition to satisfy the interaction of stress, temperature, and corrosion has not been developed. The rate of corrosion is directly related to alloy composition, stress level, and environment. The corrosive atmosphere contains chloride salts, vanadium, sulfides, and particulate matter. Other combustion products, such as NO, CO, CO2, also contribute to the corrosion mechanism. The atmosphere changes with the type of fuel used. Fuels, such as natural gas, diesel 2, naphtha, butane, propane, methane, and fossil fuels, will produce different combustion products that affect the corrosion mechanism in different ways. 

High Chromium Alloys. Field experience and laboratory data indicate that alloys high in chromium offer the best fuel ash corrosion resistance. The table below shows laboratory corrosion rates for engineering alloys which have been exposed to several types of vanadium-sodium fuel ash melts. 

Extensive field experience has shown the 50 Cr/50 Ni and 60 Cr/40 Ni alloys to offer the best answer to controlling fuel oil ash corrosion. Type 446 stainless steel also shows acceptable corrosion rates but must be used judiciously due to its low strength at elevated temperatures and weldability. Since components of 50 Cr/50 Ni in contact with vanadium-sodium fuel ash melts still suffer high corrosion rates, they should be designed to minimize the amount of surface area available where ash may accumulate. 

A chiral vanadium complex, bis(3-(heptafluorobutyryl)camphorato)oxovana-dium(IV), can catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of, mainly, benzaldehyde with dienes of the Danishefsky type with moderate to good enantioselectivity [21]. A thorough investigation was performed with benzaldehyde and different activated dienes, and reactions involving double stereo differentiation using a chiral aldehyde.
