Ozone-Catalytic Treatment of Automotive Exhaust by S.R. Khairulin, D.V. Maksudov, M.A. Kerzhentsev, A.V. Salnikov, Z.R. Ismagilov

“…The developed mathematical model shows a significant decrease in ozone concentration after the "cold start" is over and the temperature of the exhaust gases increases, because of changes in the balance of various chemical reactions. Thus, the ozone concentration is maximum during a cold start, precisely when the lower temperatures do not allow other reactions than those of oxidation of toxic gases with ozone, and decreases by the time the catalytic unit warms up, when effective neutralization of toxic impurities becomes possible without the participation of ozone. …”
