Evaluation of hydrothermal stability of commercial silico-alumino-phosphate adsorbent material for automotive applications: phase II. Deliverable 4 (RE.24/2016)

The second phase of the collaborative project involving CNR ITAE and Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC hereafter) is oriented towards the further investigation of hydrothermal stability of the commercial adsorbent material AQSOA-Z02, produced by Mitsubishi Plastic Inc. (MPI), under other ageing conditions, not yet investigate during the first phase of the project. Moreover, also the first characterization of a coating technology specifically developed by University of Messina and CNR ITAE, will be performed, in order to assess the perspective of this technology for future collaborations. The second phase of the project will last 7 months. During these months, several ageing procedures, namely cycle, shelf and wet conditions will be performed. The boundary conditions will be varied in a wide range, to check whether the material could be considered stable for such an application or not.
