Ce travail concerne l'etude des mecanismes de reduction de NO et N2O par differents reducteurs (CO, H2 et C3H8) sur une grande variete de catalyseurs (V2O5/Al2O3, cu/zeolithe(y), pt/Al2O3, wc). L'effet de l'oxygene a egalement ete etudie. Parmi les catalyseurs etudies, pt/Al2O3 presente le meilleur compromis entre son activite, sa selectivite et sa stabilite. En revanche, quelques differences sont observees pour ce catalyseur dans les reactions CO-NO, NO-H2 et NO-C3H8. Ces differences sont expliquees a la lumiere de mecanismes proposes dans la litterature. Tous ces mecanismes impliquent une etape de dissociation de NO. La meilleure activite de pt/Al2O3 pour la reaction NO-H2 est attribuee a la participation d'un atome h adsorbe qui facilite la dissociation de NO. Par contre, sa faible activite dans la reaction NO-C3H8 resulte de la faible vitesse d'adsorption dissociative de C3H8. L'addition de rhodium au platine diminue fortement sa selectivite en N2 lors de la reduction de NO. Ceci est explique par une adsorption plus forte de NO sur rh que sur pt. Ainsi, N2O ne peut pas s'adsorber et reagir sur rh au cours de la reaction CO-NO. Pour etayer cette hypothese nous avons entrepris l'etude cinetique de la reaction N2O-CO sur pt/Al2O3, rh/Al2O3 et rt-rh/Al2O3. Nous avons selectionne un mecanisme mettant en jeu des etapes d'adsorption moleculaire de N2O et CO et une etape de dissocation de N2O adsorbe sur un site voisin. Cette derniere etape constitue l'etape lente. Les constantes d'equilibre d'adsorption de CO(CO) et N2O(N2O) ont ete estimees et comparees a celles obtenues pour la reaction co-no. No est superieure a N2O sur rh alors que la tendance inverse est obtenue sur pt. Cette difference explique la variation de selectivite en N2O dans la reaction CO-NO. Dans le cas du catalyseur pt-rh/Al2O3 le mecanisme de reaction le plus probable implique des adsorptions competitives de N2O et CO sur pt ou rh.

This textbook discusses engineering principles relating to air pollution and greenhouse gases (GHGs); it focuses on engineering principles and designs of related devices and equipment for air emission control for a variety of industries such as energy, chemical, and transportation industries. The book aims primarily at senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, chemical and/or environmental engineering departments; it can also be used as a reference book by technical staff and design engineers who are interested in and need to have technical knowledge in air pollution and GHGs. The book is motivated by recent rapid advances in air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and their control technologies. In addition to classic topics related to air pollution, this book is also featured with emerging topics related to air pollution and GHGs. It covers recent advances in engineering approaches to the reduction of GHG emissions including, but are not limited to, green energy technologies and carbon sequestration and storage. It also introduces an emerging topic in air pollution, which is referred to as Nano Air Pollution. It is a growing concern in air pollution, but largely missing in similar books, likely because of recent rapid advances in nanotechnology has outpaced the advances in nano air pollution control.

This volume continues the tradition formed in Nanotechnology in Catalysis 1 and 2. As with those books, this one is based upon an ACS symposium. Some of the most illustrious names in heterogeneous catalysis are among the contributors. The book covers: Design, synthesis, and control of catalysts at nanoscale; understanding of catalytic reaction at nanometer scale; characterization of nanomaterials as catalysts; nanoparticle metal or metal oxides catalysts; nanomaterials as catalyst supports; new catalytic applications of nanomaterials.

This book approaches the energy science sub-field carbon capture with an interdisciplinary discussion based upon fundamental chemical concepts ranging from thermodynamics, combustion, kinetics, mass transfer, material properties, and the relationship between the chemistry and process of carbon capture technologies. Energy science itself is a broad field that spans many disciplines -- policy, mathematics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, geology, materials science and mineralogy -- and the author has selected the material, as well as end-of-chapter problems and policy discussions, that provide the necessary tools to interested students.
