A dynamic Mars-van Krevelen kinetic model that unifies Standard and Fast SCR reactions into a single redox approach is herein proposed for V-based catalysts for NOx removal from Diesel exhausts. Such a mechanistic model is consistent with the detailed catalytic chemistry proposed for the NH3-NO/NO2) reacting system in which NO2 disproportionates to fibrin nitrites and nitrates, nitrates are reduced by NO to nitrites in a key redox step, and nitrites react with NH3 to form N-2 via decomposition of unstable ammonium nitrite. Intrinsic kinetic parameters were estimated by global multiresponse nonlinear regression of 42 transient runs. The model accounts for stoichiometry, selectivity, and kinetics of the global SCR process, reproducing successfully both the steady-state and transient behaviors of the SCR reacting system over the full range (0-1) of NO2/NOx, feed ratios in the 175-425 degrees C temperature range.
