Thermodynamic and experimental studies of catalytic reforming of exhaust gas recirculation in gasoline engines

▶ REGR process prevents misfires and partial burns that can be caused by excessive EGR in a spark-ignited engine. ▶ Rh (1 wt%) supported over zirconia modified with appropriate amount and nature of dopants offers very high activity and good stability in REGR conditions. ▶ High H2 yield is obtained due to limitation in CH4 formation.
