x process. This has been accomplished using a mild acid like oxalic acid to avoid excess
catalyst crystallinity deterioration. It had been shown that dealumination may result in a
significant enhancement of NO x conversion to N 2 when an optimum acid concentration of
0.050 M is used for a treatment period of 2 h. Dealumination substantially affects the
distribution of the concentration of acid sites of different strength. The effect of dealumination …
