Reactivity Comparison of an Automotive Exhaust Catalyst to a Proprietary Contractor Supplied Material

Abstract

The reactivity of a commercially available automotive catalyst was compared to that of a contractor (Allied Signal) supplied material. Chloroacetonitrile was chosen to probe the washcoat activity of the two materials, while 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide was chosen to probe the external mass transfer properties of the two materials. Both the washcoat activity and external mass transport properties of the contractor supplied material were found to be superior to that of the automotive catalyst. Oxidation, Catalyst
