ISELIN, NJ, Nov. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A team of scientists from BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS) and Heesung Catalysts Corporation (HCC) was recently awarded the 2024 Edison Patent Award from the Research and Development of New Jersey for its innovative Three-Way Conversion Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Trap technology for fuel-cutting NOx control in gasoline vehicles. The technology treats NOx well under modern engine operating conditions and provides lower tailpipe emissions compared to conventional three-way conversion catalysts.

The team consisted of scientists Xiaolai Zheng and Pat Burk (retired) from ECMS, along with scientists Jinwoo Song and Jun Lee from HCC.

“By integrating a NOx trap functionality into a TWC catalyst, the new TWC-NT technology substantially reduces tailpipe emissions of NOx and other toxic species,” said Xiaolai Zheng, principal scientist at New Automotive Catalyst Technologies at ECMS.

“As a benefit, automakers can calibrate gasoline-powered passenger vehicles with more frequent fuel cuts for better fuel economy, which also means lower CO2 emissions during vehicle operation,” said Jinwoo Song, Vice President and Head of RD&A, HCC.

“This technology has been well received by our customers as it meets an essential market need,” said Saeed Alerasool, Senior Vice President of Research, Development and Applications at ECMS. “We are fortunate to have the best technical minds in the industry working to help our customers meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations and achieve high fuel efficiency. This award is a testament to their hard work and daily dedication to innovation. We are very proud of them.”

The New Jersey Research and Development Council created the awards to honor the legacy of Thomas Edison and use his name to honor New Jersey inventors and research organizations that drive innovation and continue to position New Jersey as a global hub for innovation. This award is part of the Council’s mission to collaborate with industry, academia and government to expand and strengthen STEM in education, innovation and the economy.

Quais são as principais inovações trazidas pela tecnologia ⁤TWC-NT em relação ao‍ controle de emissões de‍ NOx?

**Entrevista com Xiaolai Zheng, Cientista ⁣Principal da BASF ECMS**

**Entrevistador:** Obrigado ‌por se juntar a ⁤nós, Xiaolai. Parabéns pelo⁤ prêmio Edison​ em 2024 pela inovação em tecnologia de armadilha de óxido de nitrogênio! Pode nos ‍contar um pouco ‌sobre o que inspirou esse desenvolvimento?

**Xiaolai Zheng:** Obrigado! Estamos extremamente orgulhosos dessa conquista. Nossa equipe foi motivada pela necessidade‍ de atender às crescentes demandas por veículos mais limpos, especialmente em relação ⁢ao controle de‍ emissões de NOx. Integrar a funcionalidade de⁢ armadilha ⁢de ‌NOx em um catalisador de conversão três vias é um ‍grande ⁢passo em direção a veículos mais sustentáveis.

**Entrevistador:** Como essa tecnologia melhora as condições de operação dos motores modernos e os níveis de emissão?

**Xiaolai Zheng:** A tecnologia ⁢TWC-NT trata os NOx de⁤ forma eficaz ​sob as condições ‍de operação modernas do motor, resultando em emissões significativamente mais baixas em comparação com os catalisadores convencionais. Isso não só melhora a qualidade do ar, mas também contribui para uma melhor eficiência de combustível⁣ ao permitir que ⁤os fabricantes⁤ calibrem os veículos para cortes de combustível mais frequentes.

**Entrevistador:**‌ Quais são os benefícios ⁤diretos para os fabricantes de automóveis?

**Xiaolai Zheng:** Os‍ fabricantes podem melhorar a eficiência de combustível de seus veículos a gasolina, o⁢ que não apenas‍ reduz as emissões de CO2, mas também atende a regulamentações de emissão cada vez mais rigorosas. Isso é crucial para‍ nossos ⁤clientes na indústria automotiva.

**Entrevistador:** A ⁤colaboração com a Heesung Catalysts Corporation (HCC)⁣ foi‌ essencial para o sucesso desse projeto? Como foi essa parceria?

**Xiaolai Zheng:** Absolutamente. A colaboração com​ a HCC, que trouxe seu vasto conhecimento em tecnologia de catalisadores, foi fundamental. Juntos, pudemos unir​ nossas ⁤forças em pesquisa e desenvolvimento, o que resultou em uma inovação que realmente atende às necessidades da indústria.

**Entrevistador:** ‌O que você espera para⁢ o futuro da tecnologia de catalisadores ‍e o papel da BASF ECMS nesse cenário?

**Xiaolai Zheng:** ‌Estamos comprometidos em continuar‌ inovando⁣ e aprimorando nossas soluções para enfrentar os desafios ambientais que temos⁤ pela frente.
