Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to control NOx in diesel engine exhaust. NH3 or urea (usually urea aqueous solution with mass ratio of 32.5%) is used as reducing substance. Under the condition that O2 concentration is more than two orders of magnitude higher than NOx concentration, under the action of certain temperature and catalyst, NH3 is used to reduce NOx to N2 and H2O. Because NH3 selectively reduces NOx without reacting with O2 first, Therefore, it is called “selective catalytic reduction”.
