Abstract:
The invention provides a catalyst article including a substrate underlying a multi-layer catalyst composition and a multi-layer catalyst composition comprising a first layer and a second layer, the first layer positioned between the substrate and the second layer, wherein the first layer comprises a first porous refractory oxide material impregnated with at least one base metal component and the second layer comprises a second porous refractory oxide material impregnated with at least one platinum group metal. Either the second porous refractory oxide material is a porous refractory oxide material other than alumina or the catalyst composition further comprises an intermediate layer between the first layer and the second layer, the intermediate layer comprising a refractory oxide material other than alumina. Methods of making and using the catalyst article are also provided, as well as emission treatment systems comprising the catalyst article.
Abstract:
Aspects of the invention pertain to catalytic articles and methods of making catalytic articles comprising a first catalytic coating comprising a platinum group metal, wherein the first catalytic coating is substantially free of Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, V, Co, Ga, Mo, Mg, Cr and Zn; a second catalytic coating comprising a non-PGM metal, wherein the second catalytic coating is substantially free of any platinum group metal; and one or more substrates, wherein the first catalytic coating is separated from the second catalytic coating, optionally with a barrier layer.
Abstract:
Aspects of the invention relate to a method of treating a gas stream generated by a motorcycle, the method comprising: contacting a gas stream containing hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides and generated by a motorcycle under both rich and lean engine operating conditions with a base metal catalyst composition, thereby removing at least a part of the hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in gas stream. The base metal catalyst composition comprises a support including at least 10% by weight of reducible ceria, and about 3 to about 7 wt % MnO and about 8 to about 22 wt % CuO on the reducible ceria support. The base metal catalyst composition is effective to promote a steam reforming reaction of hydrocarbons and a water gas shift reaction to provide H2 as a reductant to abate NOx.
Abstract:
Catalytic articles comprising a substrate having a catalytic coating thereon, the catalytic coating comprising a catalytic layer having a thickness and an inner surface proximate to the substrate and an outer surface distal to the substrate; where the catalytic layer comprises a noble metal component on support particles and where the concentration of the noble metal component towards the outer surface is greater than the concentration towards the inner surface are highly effective towards treating exhaust gas streams of internal combustion engines. The articles are prepared via a method comprising providing a first mixture comprising micron-scaled support particles and applying the first mixture to a substrate to form a micro-particle layer; providing a second mixture comprising nano-scaled support particles and a noble metal component having an initial pH and applying the second mixture to the micro-particle layer and calcining the substrate.
Abstract:
Provided herein are catalytic articles and methods of making same using a single coat process. The catalytic article comprises an elongated substrate monolith having a plurality of longitudinally extending passages, each passage having at least a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first and second surfaces coated with at least a first coating and a second coating, wherein the first coating comprises a first catalyst composition and overlies the second coating on the first surface, the second coating comprises a second catalyst composition and overlies the first coating on the second surface, and wherein the first catalyst composition and second catalyst composition have a difference in surface charge. The washcoat may be applied as one slurry, which then self-segregates into two coatings.
