Abstract:
A NOx trapping filter is provided for use in emission control systems, for example, on the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine The NOx trapping filter has a substrate constructed using bonded fiber structures, which cooperate to form a highly uniform open cell network, as well as to provide a uniform arrangement of pores The substrate typically is provided as a wall-flow honeycomb structure, and in one example, is manufactured using an extrusion process In this way, the substrate has many channel walls, each having an inlet surface and an outlet surface The inlet surface has a uniform arrangement of pores that form a soot capture zone, where soot and other particulate matter is captured from an exhaust gas A NOx adsorber material is disposed in the filter to trap NOx during lean operation of the engine A NOx conversion catalyst is also disposed inside the channel wall.
Abstract:
A fibrous silicon carbide substrate is disclosed that provides porosity through an open network of pores resulting from an intertangled arrangement of silicon carbide fibers. The fibrous structure is formed from mixing carbon or organic fibers with silicon based additives, and forming a honeycomb substrate. The carbon or organic fibers are heated in an inert environment to form silicon carbide through a reaction of the carbon in the fibers and the silicon-based additives.

Abstract:
A porous ceramic substrate is disclosed that is fabricated from biosoluble ceramic fibers. Porosity and permeability of the substrate is provided by intertangled biosoluble fibers, that can be formed into a honeycomb form substrate through an extrusion process. The fibrous structure is formed from mixing biosoluble fibers with additives that include a bonding agent, and a fluid to provide an extrudable mixture. The structure is sintered at a temperature that exceeds the glass formation temperature of the bonding agent, but less than the maximum operational limits of the biosoluble fiber, to form a structure that has sufficient strength and porosity to provide for filtration and/or as a catalytic host.
