Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 7ASRQ
Technician A says that during oxidation, as NOx gases pass over the catalyst, the N atoms are pulled from the NOx molecules and are absorbed by the catalyst. The released oxygen atoms then flow through the converter to the second bed. The result of NOx oxidation is pure nitrogen plus oxygen or carbon dioxide. Technician B says that during the reduction phase inside the converter, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide molecules experience a second combustion. The result of this combustion or oxidation process is water vapor and carbon dioxide. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
