Summary:Experimental investigation of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO sub(x) in a simulated moving bed (SMB) reactor is conducted. Isothermal operation has been investigated in order to focus on the consequences of the trapping of one reactant, thus neglecting the dynamics of the heat wave. The influence of working temperature, of the feed flow rate, of the feed composition, and of the switching time on the composition of the product streams is assessed by means of simulations and experiments. A simple one-dimensional (1-D) model is validated by means of the comparison with the experimental results. Results indicate that when the switching time is equal to 600 s, it takes a few cycles to have in the exit stream the same concentration of the feeding, and thus no nitric oxide (NO) conversion.
