Abstract:
Provided is a catalyst composition, in particular a diesel oxidation catalyst, for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions, such as the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO). More particularly, the present invention is directed to a catalyst structure comprising at least two, specifically three distinct layers, at least one of which contains an oxygen storage component (OSC) that is present in a layer separate from the majority of the platinum group metal (PGM) components, such as palladium and platinum.
Abstract:
Provided are exhaust systems and components suitable for use in conjunction with gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines to capture particulates in addition to reducing gaseous emission such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxides. Exhaust treatment systems comprising a three-way conversion (TWC) catalyst located on a particulate trap are provided. An exemplary particulate trap is a soot filter. Additional treatment components can be added downstream of the particulate trap, including NO x traps and SCR catalysts. The TWC catalyst can be coated on both the inlet side and the outlet side of the particulate trap. Alternatively, an oxidation catalyst can be deposited on a particulate trap. Methods of making and using the same are also provided.
Abstract:
Provided are multi-zone catalyst articles, methods of manufacturing multi-zone catalyst articles, and methods for controlling emissions in diesel engine exhaust streams with multi-zone catalyst articles, where the emission treatment system of various embodiments effectively treats diesel engine exhaust with a single multi-zone catalyst article.
Abstract:
A nitrous oxide (N2O) removal catalyst composite is provided, comprising a N2O removal catalytic material on a substrate, the catalytic material comprising a rhodium (Rh) component supported on a ceria-based support, wherein the catalyst composite has a H2-consumption peak of about 100° C. or less as measured by hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). Methods of making and using the same are also provided.
