Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the selective catalytic reduction of the nitrogen oxides contained in a lean exhaust gas from internal combustion engines by reducing the nitrogen oxides by means of ammonia on a catalyst. The process is characterized in that, in addition to the lean exhaust gas, a rich gas stream is produced that is treated in an electrical gas discharge plasma in order to form the ammonia required for the reduction.

Platinum, Pd, Rh and/or Ir doped with V is (are), included as (an) active component(s) on the carrier.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To selectively reduce nitrogen oxide in poor exhaust gas by, while forming ammonia in a rich gas flow by reaction between components thereof, combining poor exhaust gas with the rich gas flow and reducing the nitrogen oxide in the proof exhaust gas by ammonia on a reducing catalyst. SOLUTION: When cleaning poor exhaust gas discharged from an engine, when producing, from a rich gas flow, ammonia required for catalytic reduction by reaction between components thereof, by passing the rich gas flow through a gas discharge plasma, ammonia is formed in the rich gas flow. At this time, two metal electrodes 2 and 2' opposite to each other connected to an AC voltage source 5 are provided, and in order to restrain the formation of a discharge arc between the two electrodes 2 and 2', the electrode 2 is covered with a dielectric 4. And poor exhaust gas of an engine is combined with the rich gas flow, and the nitrogen oxide in the poor exhaust gas is reduced by the formed ammonia on the reducing catalyst, thereby selectively reducing the nitrogen oxide.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst which has a catalytically-active coating of high surface area finely-divided materials and catalytically-active components on an inert support structure. A powder mixture of the finely-divided materials used is impregnated with a solution of precursor compounds of the catalytically-active components. By suitable combination of the finely-divided materials and the precursor compounds, and appropriate management of the impregnation process, a highly dispersed deposition and adsorption of the catalytically-active components is ensured on the finely-divided materials. Then an aqueous coating dispersion is produced using the impregnated powder mixture, and the support structure is coated therewith. The coating is then dried and calcined.
