In this study, the formation and decomposition of ammonium nitrate (AN) on a state-of-the-art extruded vanadium-based SCR catalyst (V-SCR) under simulated exhaust conditions has been evaluated. Results show that AN readily forms and accumulates at temperatures below 200°C when exposed to NH3 and NO2. The rate of AN accumulation increases with decreasing temperature. A new low temperature NH3 release peak (not present following NH3 storage conditions with NH3 only) becomes apparent after AN accumulation at 100 and 125°C. This new NH3 release, with a peak release temperature of approximately 180°C, is evaluated in detail to better determine its origin. BET surface area, and thermal gravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC), and reactor-based experiments are all used to characterize AN formed on the V-SCR catalyst in comparison to pure AN. Experiments on pure AN crystals reveal that the new low temperature NH3 peak is attributable to the release of NH3 from AN that is not related to AN volatilization, since this does not occur until above T > 200°C.This study expands the present understanding of AN formation over an extruded V-SCR catalyst.
