Quadrupole mass-spectroscopic analysis – in rare gas (M) diluted CH2F2 plasma – has revealed selective formation of CH2F+ ion for Ar dilution and CHF2+ ion for Kr dilution. Ion densities of CH2F+ and CHF2+ were determined by dissociative ionization pathways in...

NOx Storage and Reduction (NSR) or Lean NOx Trap (LNT) catalysts are considered to be one of the most promising technologies for NOx removal from lean burn engine exhausts. In the NSR reaction NOx is stored under lean conditions and then reduced by H2 or CO or...
