摘要:
A process is provided for operating a three-way catalyst that contains an oxygen storage component, that has a minimum and a maximum filling degree for oxygen and that is located in the exhaust gas line of an internal combustion engine. The air/fuel mixture supplied to the engine is varied in such a way that the filling degree of the oxygen storage component in the catalyst is held within a set-point interval between the minimum and maximum filling degree. According to this process, in order to regulate the air/fuel mixture, migration of the filling degree out of the set-point interval is checked in a test phase in such a way that the filling degree is increased or lowered relative to the instantaneous value (initial value) by short-term enrichment or reduction in richness of the air/fuel mixture supplied to the engine by a certain amount and immediately returned to the initial value by a short-term opposing change in the air/fuel mixture (lean/rich pulse sequence or rich/lean pulse sequence). In the case of a breakthrough of lean or rich exhaust gas through the catalyst during the test phase, the air/fuel mixture is enriched or reduced in richness in order to correct the filling degree, wherein the amount by which the filling degree during the test phase is increased or decreased is such that no breakthrough of lean or rich exhaust gas takes place through the catalyst when the filling degree of the oxygen storage component is within the set-point interval.

The present invention describes an exhaust-gas purification system for an internal combustion engine made of an oxidation catalyst arranged close to the engine, a subsequent hydrocarbon adsorber and a particulate filter arranged downstream thereof and provided with another oxidation catalyst. The oxidation catalyst ensures that emission limits with respect to carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are satisfied in normal driving mode. During operating states with exhaust-gas temperatures below about 200° C., the oxidation catalyst can no longer oxidize carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Instead, the hydrocarbons are adsorbed by the hydrocarbon adsorber during these operating phases. In order to initiate the periodical regeneration of the particulate filter, the exhaustgas temperature of the internal combustion engine is raised by engine modifications. The increased exhaust-gas temperature leads to desorption of the previously stored hydrocarbons, which are then burned at the oxidation catalyst of the particulate filter, thereby supporting the regeneration of the particulate filter.

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst comprising on a honeycomb carrier a catalytic coating. Said honeycomb carrier has an upstream end and a downstream end and a plurality of flow channels are running from the upstream end to the downstream end. The catalytic coating comprises catalytically active precious metal components of which at least one component exhibits a concentration profile along the honeycomb carrier starting with a low concentration at the upstream end which increases along the flow channels up to a maximum value and then decreases again to the downstream end.

This invention relates to a method of operating a catalyst for treating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, the catalyst comprising, in addition to catalytically active noble metals, also storage components for storing hydrocarbons. During engine operating phases at low exhaust-gas temperatures, such a catalyst stores the hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust gas without burning them. When the exhaust-gas temperature rises, these hydrocarbons are desorbed again and then oxidized at the catalytically active noble metals. This process can lead to uncontrolled, vigorous combustion of the hydrocarbons stored on the catalyst and, therefore, damage to the catalyst. According to the invention, this damage is avoided by continuously calculating the respective loading of the storage components with hydrocarbons and repeatedly regenerating the storage components depending on the loading by temporarily raising the exhaust-gas temperature before damage to the catalyst can occur.
摘要:
Coating a wall-flow filter with a catalytically active coating generally increases the exhaust-gas backpressure in the filter. The increase in the exhaust-gas backpressure is particularly pronounced if a slurry of fine-particle catalyst materials is used for the coating operation. The increase in the exhaust-gas backpressure can be restricted to a tolerable level if, prior to the coating operation, the slurry is so finely milled that virtually the entire mass of the catalyst materials is introduced into the pores of the filter and deposited on the inner surfaces of the pores. This is the case if the d90 diameter of the particles in the slurry is reduced to below 5 μm by milling.

This invention relates to a method and a corresponding apparatus for coating open-pored bodies with at least one coating suspension. In particular, the coating suspension has solids and solutes in a liquid medium in a quantity in wet state which is to correspond to at least a required target quantity. The coating operation has a variation in the applied wet coating quantity from one body to the other. The method according to the invention is characterized by the steps of: coating the body with an actual quantity of the coating suspension, which is always larger than the required target quantity taking the variation of the coating operation into account, determining the difference between the actual quantity and the required target quantity, and reducing the difference between actual quantity and target quantity by removing still wet coating suspension.

An oxygen storage material based on cerium oxide with at least one other oxide of the metals silicon and zirconium, wherein the cerium oxide and the other oxides are present in the form of a mixed oxide. The material is obtainable in that hydroxidic precursors of the mixed oxide are first prepared in a manner known per se using a wet-chemical route, these precursors are optionally dried at temperatures between 80 and 300° C. and the dried precursors are then treated under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere at a temperature between 600 and 900° C. for a period of 1 to 10 hours. The reductive thermal treatment endows the material with a greatly improved dynamic behavior as compared with conventional calcination in air.
摘要:
A process for reducing the nitrogen oxides present in a lean exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine by selective catalytic reduction on a reduction catalyst using ammonia, wherein a fraction of the nitrogen monoxide present in the exhaust gas is oxidized to nitrogen dioxide before the exhaust gas, together with ammonia, is passed over the reduction catalyst. The reduction catalyst contains a zeolite exchanged with transition metals and oxidation of the nitrogen monoxide is performed in such a way that the exhaust gas contains 30 to 70 vol. % of nitrogen dioxide before contact with the reduction catalyst.
