Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an emission control system used in diesel engines to reduce NOx emissions. In this study, synthesized of catalyst for SCR system was investigated as experimentally. For this purpose, silver nitrate (AgNO3), niobium (V) chloride (NbCl5) and tetra amine platinum (II) nitrate (Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2) were used to coat the cordierite (2Al2O3-5SiO2-2MgO) structure with impregnation method. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) analyzes were carried out in order to determine the chemical and physical properties of the catalyst. Results showed that the coating materials penetrate the entire surface of the pores. It was also determined that the BET specific surface areas of the produced catalyst and cordierite are 0.2918 m2/g and 0.4568 m2/g, respectively. The reduction of surface area could be attributed to the increment of crystallization with chemical reactions occurred at the high sintering temperature. Besides, XRF analysis results demonstrated that content of Ag, Pt and Nb in the in the catalyst was found to be 3.67%, 0.19% and 0.12%, respectively, whereas Ag content in cordierite structure was 0.03%.
