Urea-SCR Technology for deNOx After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts, 2014 Fundamental and Applied Catalysis Series

Urea-SCR Technology for deNOx After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts presents a complete overview of the 

selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia/urea. The book starts with 

an illustration of the technology in the framework of the current context (legislation, 

market, system configurations), covers the fundamental aspects of the SCR process 

(catalysts, chemistry, mechanism, kinetics) and analyzes its application to useful topics 

such as modeling of full scale monolith catalysts, control aspects, ammonia injections 

systems and integration with other devices for combined removal of pollutants.

Isabella Nova is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Energy, Politecnico of Milan, Italy. Nova’s research work is focused on the study of environmental catalytic processes, including Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH₃ and Diesel Particulate filters for the removal of soot and on new processes for the production of clean energy, such as the photocatalytic water splitting. She has co-authored over 100 publications on national and international journals in the fields of Chemical Reaction Engineering and Heterogeneous Catalysis and three national and international patents.

Enrico Tronconi is Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His main research interests are in the area of Catalytic Reaction Engineering, with emphasis on industrial chemical processes for energy conversion and for environmental protection. His most recent work is focused on DeNOx after treatment technologies for vehicles, as well as on fundamental and engineering aspects concerning the development of novel structured catalysts and reactors. Tronconi has authored or co-authored over 180 scientific publications in international journals and is the inventor of 10 patents.
