A promising way to reduce N2O emissions is the catalytic decomposition into the elements using transition metal-exchanged zeolites. Cu-ZSM-5 is an especially active catalyst for this reaction. This paper reports on the influence of the copper content and the Si/Al ratio of the parent zeolite on the catalytic activity and stability of Cu-ZSM-5 used for decomposing nitrous oxide. The influence of water vapor was also investigated.
