Popis: Currently generated nitrogen oxides (NOx) and unburned ammonia (NH3) can be converted into nitrogen and moisture that are harmless to the human body and environment using selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The concentrations of NOx and unburned NH3 emitted from the ammonia combustion engines are significantly higher than those emitted by engines using existing hydrocarbon fuels. In this study, ammonia, a representative carbon-free fuel, was used in spark ignition engines for existing passenger vehicles to identify the trends in exhaust gases emitted from engines and conduct experiments on after-treatment strategies to reduce NOx and unburned NH3. The addition of oxygen significantly maximized the conversion efficiency of the SCR after-treatment system by changing the concentration of both NOx and NH3 in the exhaust gas.
