← ScienceWhich phenomenon reduces NOx emissions in a catalytic converter operating outside stoichiometric conditions via the Zeldovich mechanism?
A)Equilibrium shift driven by Le Chatelier's principle
B)Selective catalytic reduction with excess ammonia✓
C)Temperature-dependent shift of the equilibrium constant
D)Adsorption enhanced by activated carbon matrix
💡 Explanation
When NOx emissions are reduced outside of stoichiometry, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) involves injecting excess ammonia in presence of a catalyst, causing ammonia to react with NOx, forming nitrogen and water based on rate constants and kinetic limitations. Therefore (SCR) reduction results, rather than alternate approaches which don't address off-stoichiometry operation, rely on catalyst composition, or adsorption characteristics.
