Abstract:
Described is a monolithic support member comprising channels with walls separating the channels and having a coating deposited thereon, the non-coated channels having a polygonal cross-section profile, wherein the mean thickness dC of the coating in a corner of said cross-section profile is smaller than or equal to the mean thickness dE of the coating on an edge of said cross-section profile plus 85 micrometer. Also described is a method for the preparation of such coated monolithic support member. Further described is the use of such coated monolithic support member as a catalytic article in automotive exhaust gas treatment.
Abstract:
Provided is a catalyst composition, in particular a diesel oxidation catalyst, for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions, such as the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO). More particularly, the present invention is directed to a catalyst structure comprising at least two, specifically three distinct layers, at least one of which contains an oxygen storage component (OSC) that is present in a layer separate from the majority of the platinum group metal (PGM) components, such as palladium and platinum.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composite oxide comprising ceria, praseodymia and alumina, wherein the cerium : praseodymium molar ratio of the composite oxide is 84:16 or less, as well as to a method of preparing the composite oxide and to its use, in particular in a method of treating an exhaust gas stream.
