Zoned diesel oxidation catalysts containing a higher precious metal loading in the inlet zone that the outlet zone and an equal or shorter length inlet zone are described. Emission treatment systems and methods of remediating nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and gaseous hydrocarbons using zoned diesel oxidation catalysts are also described.

Emission treatment catalysts, systems and methods

An emission treatment system and method for remediating the nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and gaseous hydrocarbons present in diesel engine exhaust streams are described. The emission treatment system has an oxidation catalyst upstream of a soot filter upstream from a NOx reducing catalyst.

Emission treatment system

Described are SCR catalyst systems comprising a first SCR catalyst composition and a second SCR catalyst composition arranged in the system, the first SCR catalyst composition having a faster DeNOx response time when exposed to ammonia than the second catalyst composition and the second SCR catalyst composition has a higher steady state DeNOx performance than the first catalyst composition. The SCR catalyst systems are useful in methods and systems to catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in the presence of a reductant.

Selective catalytic reduction catalyst system

Exhaust treatment filters, systems, and methods are disclosed. According to one or more embodiments, a particulate filter is zone coated with an oxidation catalyst and is used in an emission treatment system or method including a NOx reducing catalyst and an optional NHdestruction catalyst.

The invention is directed to a process for the hydrogenation of a sulfur containing feedstock, having a sulfur content of less than 50 ppm, wherein the feedstock is hydrogenated in the presence of a precious metal catalyst and a nickel-catalyst, said process being carried out in such a manner, that the feedstock is contacted with a mixture of precious metal catalyst, metal oxide and nickel catalyst, the feedstock is contacted initially with the precious metal catalyst followed by contact with the metal oxide and nickel catalyst, either in combination or sequentially, or the feedstock is contacted first with a mixture of precious metal catalyst and metal oxide, followed by contact with the nickel catalyst.

Hydrogenation process

The invention is directed to a process for carrying out a chemical reaction in a reactor, comprising passing a reaction mixture in liquid phase through at least one structured reactor element present in said reactor, the internal surface of said reactor element that comes into contact with the reaction mixture being catalytically active, the improvement comprising passing said reaction mixture through the said at least one reactor element, said reaction mixture comprising at least one liquid and at least one gas in liquid phase.

Chemical process
