    摘要: A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases of a diesel engine. The catalyst contains two functional layers superimposed on an inert supporting body, whereby the first layer, which is situated directly on the supporting body, has a nitrogen oxide storage function and the second layer, which is in direct contact with the exhaust gas, has a catalytic function. The second functional layer additionally has a hydrocarbon-storage function and its catalytic function is provided by catalytically active noble metals of the platinum group which are deposited in highly dispersed form on finely divided, acidic carrier materials. Nitrogen oxides in the oxygen-rich exhaust gas of a diesel engine can be converted with optimal utilization of the reductive constituents contained in the exhaust gas. For this purpose, no reducing agents going beyond the reductive components (carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons) which are contained as a consequence of incomplete combustion need to be added to the exhaust gas. Nevertheless, rates of conversion in respect of the nitrogen oxides are obtained, averaged over practical driving cycles, which lie distinctly above the rates of conversion of conventional reduction catalysts.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for operating an exhaust gas treatment unit for an internal combustion engine which is operated with lean normalized air/fuel ratios over most of the operating period. The exhaust gas treatment unit contains a nitrogen oxides storage catalyst with an activity window .DELTA.T.sub.NOX for the storage of nitrogen oxides at normalized air/fuel ratios of greater than 1 and release of the nitrogen oxides at normalized air/fuel ratios of less than or equal to 1 and a sulfur trap, located upstream of the nitrogen oxides storage catalyst, with a sulfur desorption temperature T.sub.S,DeSOx above which the sulfates stored on the sulfur trap are decomposed at normalized air/fuel ratios of less than or equal to 1. The nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas are stored on the nitrogen oxides storage catalyst and the sulfur oxides are stored on the sulfur trap at normalized air/fuel ratios greater than 1 and exhaust gas temperatures T.sub.K within the activity window T.sub.NOX, wherein at the same time the exhaust gas temperature just upstream of the sulfur trap is lower than its sulfur desorption temperature T.sub.S,DeSOx. By cyclic lowering of the normalized air/fuel ratio in the exhaust gas to less than 1 the stored nitrogen oxides are released again from the storage catalyst. After each predetermined number N.sub.1 of nitrogen oxides storage cycles, sulfur is removed from the sulfur trap. This takes place by raising the exhaust gas temperature just upstream of the sulfur trap to above its sulfur desorption temperature T.sub.S,DeSOx and also lowering the normalized air/fuel ratio in the exhaust gas to less than 1.

    摘要: A process for evaluating performance deterioration of a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst which has a nitrogen oxide storage function and an oxygen storage function and is operated with cyclic alternation of the air/fuel ratio in the exhaust gas from lean to rich. The nitrogen oxides are stored during the lean phase and the nitrogen oxides are desorbed and converted during the rich phase. To check the serviceability of the storage catalyst, the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is switched from lean to rich and the rich phase is extended beyond the time required for complete desorption of the nitrogen oxides until at least the rich exhaust gas passes right through the catalyst and the time interval &Dgr;t1 produced between the first change-over until breakthrough of the rich exhaust gas and, after again switching from rich to lean running, the time interval &Dgr;t2 produced between the second change-over and passage of oxygen through the catalyst are measured and the time differences &Dgr;t1 and &Dgr;t2 are used for separate assessment of the oxygen storage function and the nitrogen oxide storage function of the catalyst.

    摘要: A nitrogen oxide storage catalyst which contains at least one catalyst material and at least one nitrogen oxide storage component from the group of alkali and alkaline earth metals. The nitrogen oxide storage component, after completing catalyst preparation, is present as finely divided barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, a mixture or mixed crystals of the two sulfates, or as their complete or incomplete decomposition product with an average particle size of less than 1 &mgr;m. Barium sulfate and/or strontium sulfate act as feed materials for the active storage component in the storage catalyst according to the invention. As a result of the reductive exhaust gas compositions occurring under normal automobile driving conditions barium sulfate and strontium sulfate decompose to compounds which are able to store nitrogen oxides. This compensates for the loss of active storage components which occurs due to aging. Barium sulfate and/or strontium sulfate may be decomposed during production by means of reductive calcination in order to obtain a high initial loading of the catalyst with storage compounds. In this case, these sulfates are used as auxiliary agents in order to introduce the highest possible concentrations of storage compounds into the storage catalyst.

    摘要: A sulfur oxide storage material contains a magnesium-aluminum spinel (MgO.Al2O3) and can be used as a so-called “sulfur trap” to remove sulfur oxides from oxygen-containing exhaust gases of industrial processes. In particular, it can be used for the catalytic purification of exhaust gas from internal-combustion engines to remove the sulfur oxides from the exhaust gas in order to protect the exhaust gas catalysts from sulfur poisoning. The material displays a molar ratio of magnesium oxide to aluminum oxide in the range of over 1.1:1, and the magnesium oxide present in stoichiometric excess is homogeneously distributed in a highly disperse form in the storage material.
