Popis: We summarize a global kinetic model for a commercial automotive Lean NOx Trap (LNT) catalyst derived from laboratory flow reactor measurements at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The experimental measurements were made according to a modified version of a publicly shared protocol developed for characterizing the dynamic responses of LNT catalysts over a temperature range of 150–550 °C under lean-rich cycling with CO, H2, and C3H6 as the reductants. The resulting model includes three NOx storage sites. The present model also includes reactions for oxygen storage, water gas shift, steam reforming, NOx reduction, and N2O and NH3 generation. When implemented in 1D integral reactor simulations of long-period cycling, the model was found to accurately predict the observed outlet concentrations of CO, H2, C3H6, NO, NO2, NH3, and N2O.
