Abstract:
A catalyst for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions is disclosed. The catalyst can comprise ceria-alumina particles having a ceria phase present in a weight percent of the composite in the range of about 20% to about 80% on an oxide basis, an alkaline earth metal component supported on the ceria-alumina particles, wherein the Ce02 is present in the form of crystallites that are hydrothermally stable and have an average crystallite size less than 160 Å after aging at 950 °C for 5 hours in 2% 02 and 10% steam in N2.
Abstract:
A catalyzed soot filter, in particular for the treatment of Diesel engine exhaust, comprises a coating design which ensures soot particulates filtration, assists the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO), and produces low H2S emissions during normal engine operations and regeneration events.
Abstract:
A lean NO x trap for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions, such as the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO), and the trapping and reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) is disclosed. Nitrogen oxide storage catalysts can comprise a layer on a substrate including ceria-alumina particles having a ceria phase present in a weight percent of the composite in the range of about 20% to about 80% on an oxide basis, an alkaline earth metal component supported on the ceria-alumina particles, wherein the CeO 2 is present in the form of crystallites that are hydrothermally stable and have an average crystallite size less than 130 Å after aging at 950°C for 5 hours in 2% O 2 and 10% steam in N 2 .
Abstract:
A lean burn engine exhaust treatment articles comprising a low temperature lean NOx trap (LT-LNT) composition and methods for their use is disclosed. A lean burn engine exhaust gas treatment system including the lean burn engine exhaust treatment articles is also disclosed. The low temperature lean NOx trap (LT-LNT) compositions can comprise a washcoat layer on a carrier substrate, the washcoat layer including a platinum group metal component impregnated on a first support material comprising at least 50% alumina. The washcoat layer may further include a low temperature NOx storage material comprising a bulk particulate reducible metal oxide. Methods of monitoring the aging state of a lean burn oxidation catalyst in a lean burn engine catalyst system are also disclosed.
