Recovering deactivated metal/zeolite catalysts

Abstract:

A method of recovering selective catalytic reduction catalysts relates to metal-Zeolite based catalysts. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst service event where a metal-Zeolite based selective catalytic reduction catalyst of an exhaust aftertreatment system may perform below a threshold level of performance is determined. The selective catalytic reduction catalyst then exposed to a recovery fluid selected to facilitate movement of metal ions.
