A NOx catalyst based on the research carried out in the group reaches the pre-industrial phase in collaboration with Thyssen
The industrial production of nitric acid (HNO3) produces nitrous oxide (N2O) as an undesired by-product, which is emitted into the atmosphere with the tail gas. Nitrous oxide (NOx) is a potent greenhouse gas some 310 times stronger than carbon dioxide and is...
