Abstract:
An oxidation catalyst is described for treating an exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine comprising a catalytic region and a substrate, wherein the catalytic region comprises a catalytic material comprising: bismuth (Bi), antimony (Sb) or an oxide thereof; a platinum group metal (PGM) selected from the group consisting of (i) platinum (Pt), (ii) palladium (Pd) and (iii) platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd); and a support material, which is a refractory oxide: wherein the platinum group metal (PGM) is supported on the support material; and wherein the bismuth (Bi), antimony (Sb) or an oxide thereof is supported on the support material and/or the refractory oxide comprises the bismuth, antimony or an oxide thereof.
Abstract:
The invention provides an oxidation catalyst for the oxidative treatment of a hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in an exhaust gas. The oxidation catalyst comprises a supporting substrate and a plurality of catalyst layers supported on the supporting substrate, wherein the plurality of catalyst layers comprise a washcoat material, an active metal and a hydrocarbon adsorbent, and wherein one catalyst layer lies on the catalyst surface layer side and one or more other catalyst layers lie on the side lower than the said one catalyst layer; and wherein: (a) the amount of hydrocarbon adsorbent in the said one catalyst layer is greater than the amount of hydrocarbon adsorbent in the said one or more other catalyst layers, and the concentration of active metal in the said one catalyst layer is the same as or less than the concentration of active metal in the said one or more other catalyst layers; or (b) the amount of hydrocarbon adsorbent in the said one catalyst layer is the same as the amount of hydrocarbon adsorbent in the said one or more other catalyst layers, and the concentration of active metal in the said one catalyst layer is less than the concentration of active metal in the said one or more other catalyst layers.
Abstract:
A zoned catalyzed substrate monolith comprises a first zone and a second zone that are arranged axially in series. The first zone comprises a platinum group metal loaded on a support and a first base metal oxide or a first base metal loaded on an inorganic oxide. The first base metal oxide is iron oxide, manganese oxide, copper oxide, zinc oxide, nickel oxide, or mixtures thereof. The first base metal is iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, or mixtures thereof. The second zone comprises copper or iron loaded on a zeolite and a second base metal oxide or a second base metal loaded on an inorganic oxide. The second base metal oxide is iron oxide, manganese oxide, copper oxide, zinc oxide, nickel oxide, or mixtures thereof. The second base metal is iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, or mixtures thereof. The second base metal is different from the first base metal.
Abstract:
An exhaust system, and a catalyzed substrate, is disclosed. The system comprises a catalyzed substrate, a counterflow urea injector downstream of the catalyzed substrate, and a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst downstream of the counterflow injector. The catalyzed substrate has an inlet end, an outlet end, an axial length extending from the inlet to the outlet, an inlet zone extending from the inlet, and an outlet zone extending from the outlet. The inlet zone comprises an oxidation catalyst and the outlet zone comprises a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a urea hydrolysis catalyst and a second SCR catalyst. The counterflow urea injector directs urea toward the outlet zone of the catalyzed substrate so that at least a portion of the urea contacts the outlet zone prior to contacting the first SCR catalyst.
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a lean-burn internal combustion engine, engine management means and an exhaust system for treating exhaust gas of the engine. The exhaust system comprises a first oxidation catalyst disposed on a first honeycomb monolith substrate. The first oxidation catalyst comprises platinum supported on a first metal oxide support comprising at least one reducible oxide, and is substantially free of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. The engine management means is arranged, when in use, intermittently to modulate the lambda composition of the exhaust gas entering the first oxidation catalyst to a rich lambda composition.
