The Separate Removal of Trace CO and Moist NO from Off-Gases by Adsorption on H-Type Mordenite by Z.-M. Wang, T. Arai, M. Kumagai

“…It was found that protonation of mordenite eliminated any possible removal of CO 2 by specific adsorption but induced the dissociative adsorption of NO 2 with the formation of nitric acid-like adsorbed species and NO oxidation. FT-IR spectroscopic results confirmed that the Brönsted acid sites existing on H-type mordenites exhibit no interaction with CO 2 molecules but can catalyze the dissociative adsorption of NO 2 . …”
