摘要:
The present invention relates to a regulating strategy for a special catalytic converter for exhaust-gas aftertreatment. The catalytic converter concept is distinguished in that at least two nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters are used in the exhaust section of a vehicle. The first, possibly close-coupled unit is followed by one or more nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters, which are possibly situated in the underbody of the vehicle. The nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters are then regenerated as a function of the exceedance of nitrogen oxide threshold vales downstream thereof.
摘要:
A nitrogen oxide storage catalyst is provided, which has two catalytically active coatings on a support body. The lower coating applied directly to the support body has a nitrogen oxide storage function and includes platinum as a catalytically active component applied to a homogeneous magnesium-aluminum mixed oxide in combination with a nitrogen oxide storage material, in which a nitrogen oxide storage component is likewise present and applied to a homogeneous magnesium-aluminum mixed oxide. The second layer is notable for three-way catalytic activity, and includes palladium applied to aluminum oxide and barium oxide or strontium oxide, but no platinum.
摘要:
Nitrogen oxide storage catalysts are used to remove the nitrogen oxides present in the lean exhaust gas of lean-burn engines. As a result of the stress due to high temperatures in vehicle operation, they are subject to thermal aging processes which affect both the nitrogen oxide storage components and the noble metals present as catalytically active components.The present invention provides a process with which the catalytic activity of a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst which comprises, in addition to platinum as a catalytically active component, basic compounds of strontium and/or barium on a support material comprising cerium oxide, said catalytic activity being lost owing to the thermal aging process, can be at least partly restored. The two-stage process is based on the fact that strontium and/or barium compounds formed during the thermal aging with the support material, which also comprise platinum, are recycled to the catalytically active forms by controlled treatment with specific gas mixtures.
