Abstract
A cesium-exchanged mordenite zeolite was tested as a hydrocarbon trap for cold-start automotive applications using a modified temperature programmed desorption (TPD) procedure. In the modified TPD procedure, a step increase in feed concentration was performed simultaneously with the start of the temperature ramp to more closely mimic cold start conditions. The feed stream contained mixtures of toluene, propane, and water. The cesium-exchanged mordenite trapped propane under these dynamic conditions, demonstrated improved propane trapping when toluene was coadsorbed, and retained its trapping capacity after nearly 40 h of hydrothermal treatment.
