Plasma-assisted Diesel Oxidation Catalyst: Laboratory and bench scale investigations for CO and HC light-off temperature and nox remediation

Summary form only given. A key feature of Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) is its ability to efficiently oxidize CO and hydrocarbons (HCs) at the diesel exhaust temperature levels. While the DOC technology has progressed to the point where CO and HCs emissions can be drastically reduced, there remain issues of cost and low temperature activity i.e. cold start engine regime. Recent development researches try to adapt a cost effective integrated solution combining non-thermal plasma (NTP) and DOC technology for diesel applications.
