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.
Abstract:
The invention provides a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst effective in the abatement of nitrogen oxides (NOx), the SCR catalyst comprising a metal-promoted molecular sieve promoted with a metal selected from iron, copper, and combinations thereof, wherein the metal is present in an amount of 2.6% by weight or less on an oxide basis based on the total weight of the metal-promoted molecular sieve. A catalyst article, an exhaust gas treatment system method, and a method treating an exhaust gas stream, each comprising the SCR catalyst of the invention, are also provided. The SCR catalyst is particularly useful for treatment of exhaust from a lean burn gasoline engine.
Abstract:
Composites of mixed metal oxides for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprise the following co-precipitated materials by weight of the composite: zirconia in an amount in the range of 55-99%; titania in an amount in the range of 1-25%; a promoter and/or a stabilizer in an amount in the range of 0-20%. These composites are effective as supports for platinum group metals (PGMs), in particular rhodium.
Abstract:
Provided are emissions treatment systems for an exhaust stream having an ammonia-generating component, such as a NOx storage reduction (NSR) catalyst or a lean NOx trap (LNT) catalyst, and an SCR catalyst disposed downstream of the ammonia-generating catalyst. The SCR catalyst can be a molecular sieve having the CHA crystal structure, for example SSZ-13 or SAPO-34, which can be ion-exchanged with copper. The LNT can be layered, having an undercoat washcoat layer comprising a support material, at least one precious metal, and at least one NOx sorbent selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth elements, rare earth elements, and combinations thereof and a top washcoat layer comprising a support material, at least one precious metal, and ceria in particulate form, the top washcoat layer being substantially free of alkaline earth components. The emissions treatment system is advantageously used for the treatment of exhaust streams from diesel engines and lean burn gasoline engines.

Abstract:
Provided are composites of mixed metal oxides comprising: a ceria-zirconia-alumina composite, wherein the alumina is present in an amount in the range of 1 to less than 30% by weight of the composite and the mixed metal oxide composite has a ceria reducibility of at least 50% after 12 hours of hydrothermal aging at 1050° C. In preparation thereof, a ceria-zirconia solid solution can optionally further comprise at least one rare earth oxide other than ceria and the alumina may be formed by using a colloidal alumina precursor. Methods of making and using these composites are also provided.
