An apparatus for cleaning the exhaust gases of diesel engines, and especially for removal of soot particulates, utilizing series connected filter elements installed in the cross section of a housing traversed by the exhaust gas, wherein at least one filter element carrying a catalyst that lowers the ignition temperature of the soot and assists in soot burn off alternates several times with at least one filter element carrying a catalyst that assists the combustion of gaseous pollutants.

Apparatus for the purification of exhaust gas from diesel motors

Method for the purification of exhaust gas from diesel motors

A catalyst process is disclosed for the reduction of the ignition temperature of Diesel soot filtered out of the exhaust gas of Diesel engines by passing the exhaust gas over a catalytically active substance, which is selected from lithium oxide, copper chloride, vanadium oxide/alkali metal oxide combinations, a vanadate of an alkali metal or of cerium, or a silver or alkali metal perrhenate, preferably of sodium or silver, or mixtures of these substances.

Catalyst for the reduction of the ignition temperature of diesel soot

A process and catalyst is disclosed for the reduction of the ignition temperature of diesel soot filtered out of the exhaust fumes of diesel engines by passing the exhaust stream through a filter element. The filter element is a temperature resistant inert support onto which is deposited a catalytically effective amount of silver vanadate or a mixture of the temperature resistant carrier material and a catalytically effective amount of silver vanadate.

Catalyst for reducing the ignition temperature of diesel soot

A catalyst for reducing the ignition temperature of diesel soot filtered out of the exhaust of diesel engines, wherein the active ingredient is silver vanadate.

Catalyst for reducing the ignition temperature of diesel soot and

A catalyst is disclosed for combustion of pollutants contained in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines operated with alcohol. The catalyst consists of a metal carrier, a coating deposited on it made of a catalytically active aluminum oxide and an amount of palladium deposited on said coating. A production process for the catalyst is described which provides a final activation in oxidizing atmosphere or a formation in the stream of the exhaust gas that is to be purified at certain temperatures as well as the use of the catalyst for the simultaneous elimination of aldehydes, alcohols, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons present in the exhaust gas.

Catalyst for the combustion of harmful substances contained in exhaust

A process for applying a coating containing platinum and/or palladium to the surface of a porous catalyst carrier, the depth of penetration being controlled by preloading the carrier with a determined amount of aqueous solution containing ammonium chloride.

Process for application of a catalytically active coating containing

An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine including a catalyst chamber containing a catalyst composition for the catalytic conversion of harmful substances contained in the exhaust gases wherein the interior wall of the exhaust pipe connecting the engine with the catalyst chamber is provided with a catalytically active coating for at least a portion of its length.

A three-way catalyst is described for the purification of automobile exhaust gases formed of an active substance of platinum and rhodium and possibly base metal(s) at a certain weight ratio between the two noble metals and at a certain atomic ratio between the noble and the base metal, which are precipitated onto active aluminum oxide containing certain quantities of CeO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2 and Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, and whereby the catalyst is obtained by impregnating active aluminum oxide, possibly stabilized with alkaline earth metal, with a solution of cerium, zirconium and iron salt which is thereupon calcined in air at 500.degree.-700.degree. C. and then treated after application of an impregnation of salts of the active substance components in a gas current containing hydrogen at temperatures below 650.degree. C.

Catalyst for the purification of exhaust gases of internal combustion

There are provided shaped catalysts, particularly for the formation and/or equipping of reaction chambers with catalytically active surfaces, consisting of a structural reinforcing agent of ferrous metal, a layer of a heat resistant carrier material on the structural reinforcing agent as well as a catalytically active component on the carrier material; the body of the structural reinforcing agent consists of iron or steel and its surface is provided with a nonscaling, adhesive and anchoring enhancing aluminum/iron diffusion layer obtained by a tempering of aluminum coated iron or steel at a temperature between 600.degree. and 1200.degree. C. for at least one minute. There is also disclosed a process for making the catalysts.

Shaped catalyst and process for its production

A catalytic converter for use in the exhaust line of an internal combustion engine wherein the catalytically active noble metal coating is deposited only on the rearward portion of the inert carrier, with respect to the direction of flow of the exhaust gases, said inert carrier being fully coated with a washcoat capable of absorbing catalyst poisons before application of the catalytically active noble metal coating.

Apparatus for treatment of exhaust gases

In a monolithic carrier catalyst containing a catalytically active substance for the purification of a stream of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, the improvement comprises providing an increasing concentration of catalytically active substance on the monolithic carrier catalyst, wherein the concentration increases in the direction of flow of the exhaust gases. The catalyst is particularly useful in oxidizing and/or reducing the noxious substances in automotive exhaust gases.
