A catalytic wall-flow monolith filter for use in an emission treatment system comprises a wall flow substrate having a first and a second face, and first and second pluralities of channels. The first plurality of channels is open at the first face and closed at the second face. The second plurality of channels is open at the second face and closed at the first face. The monolith filter comprises a porous substrate having a first zone extending from the first face towards the second face and a second zone extending from the second face towards the first face. Each of the zones are less that filter length. A first catalytic material is distributed throughout the first zone of the porous substrate, and a second catalytic material covers at least a portion of the surfaces in the second zone of the porous substrate and is not distributed throughout the porous substrate.

Catalytic wall-flow filter with partial surface coating

Provided is a catalyst washcoat comprising (i) a molecular sieve loaded with about 1 to about 10 weight percent of at least non-aluminum promoter metal (wherein the promoter metal weight percent is based on the weight of the molecular sieve); and (ii) about 1 to about 30 weight percent of a binder having a d90 particle size of less than 10 microns (wherein the binder weight percent is based on the total weight of the washcoat). In another aspect of the invention, the catalyst washcoat is applied to a wall-flow filter to form a catalyst article. In another aspect of the invention the catalyst article is part of an exhaust gas treatment system. And in yet another aspect of the invention, provided is a method for treating exhaust gas using the catalyst article.

Catalyst binders for filter substrates

A catalytic wall-flow monolith filter for use in an emission treatment system comprises a wall flow monolith comprising a porous substrate having surfaces that define the channels and having a first zone extending in the longitudinal direction from a first end face towards a second end face for a distance less than the filter length and a second zone extending in the longitudinal direction from the second end face towards the first end face and extending in the longitudinal direction for a distance less than the filter length, wherein a first SCR catalyst is distributed throughout the first zone of the porous substrate, an ammonia oxidation catalyst is distributed throughout the second zone of the porous substrate and a second SCR catalyst is located in a layer that covers the surfaces in the second zone of the porous substrate.

Catalytic wall-flow filter with an ammonia slip catalyst

A method of coating a honeycomb monolith substrate comprising a plurality of channels with a liquid comprising a catalyst component comprises the steps of: (i) holding a honeycomb monolith substrate substantially vertically; (ii) introducing a pre-determined volume of the liquid into the substrate via open ends of the channels at a lower end of the substrate; (iii) sealingly retaining the introduced liquid within the substrate; (iv) inverting the substrate containing the retained liquid; and (v) applying a vacuum to open ends of the channels of the substrate at the inverted, lower end of the substrate to draw the liquid along the channels of the substrate.

Coating a monolith substrate with catalyst component

A filter for filtering particulate matter (PM) from exhaust gas emitted from a compression ignition engine, which filter comprising a porous substrate having inlet surfaces and outlet surfaces, wherein the inlet surfaces are separated from the outlet surfaces by a porous structure containing pores of a first mean pore size, wherein the porous substrate is coated with a wash coat comprising a plurality of solid particles comprising a molecular sieve promoted with at least one metal wherein the porous structure of the wash coated porous substrate contains pores of a second mean pore size, and wherein the second mean pore size is less than the first mean pore size.

Filter for filtering particulate matter from exhaust gas emitted from a compression ignition engine

Provided is an SCRF article having different SCR catalysts compositions disposed on a wall-flow filter substrate in zones that are arranged in series with respect to the inlet and outlet faces of the substrate. Also provided is method of reducing backpressure and ammonia slip that involves the use of such SCRF articles.
