The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising a carrier substrate of length L, coating A arranged as the first layer on the carrier and containing platinum on a metal oxide, and coating B applied as the second layer to coating A and containing a Cu-exchanged molecular sieve and no noble metal, wherein the total washcoat quantity of coating A is 40 g/l or more of washcoat in relation to the coated catalyst volume.

Catalyst for reducing ammonia emissions

The present invention relates to a SCR catalyst comprising a carrier substrate of the length L, which is a flow-through substrate, and a coating A which comprises a small pore zeolite, copper and palladium.

SCR catalyst and exhaust gas cleaning system

The present invention relates to an SCR-active material, comprising a small-pore zeolite, aluminum oxide and copper, characterized in that it contains 5 to 25 wt-% of aluminum oxide in relation to the entire material and that the copper is present on the aluminum oxide in a first concentration and on the small-pore zeolite in a second concentration.

SCR-active material

The invention relates to a catalyst system for reducing nitrogen oxides, which comprises a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst and an SCR catalyst, wherein the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst consists of at least two catalytically active washcoat layers on a supporting body, wherein a lower washcoat layer A contains cerium oxide, an alkaline earth compound and/or alkali compound, as well as platinum and palladium, and an upper washcoat layer B, which is arranged over the washcoat layer A, contains cerium oxide, platinum and palladium, and no alkali compound and no alkaline earth compound. The invention also relates to a method for converting NOx in exhaust gases of motor vehicles that are operated by means of engines that are operated in a lean manner.

Catalyst system for reducing nitrogen oxides

The invention relates to the possibility of improving selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which is the selective reaction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in the exhaust gas of combustion processes on an exhaust-gas catalytic converter suitable therefor&#x2014;the SCR catalytic converter. For this purpose, materials used in the catalytic converter for storing ammonia are distributed on the catalyst carrier in such a way that, viewed in the flow direction, a region having low ammonia storage capacity is followed by a region of higher ammonia storage capacity.

SCR catalytic converter having improved NOx conversion

The present invention relates to a catalytic converter which comprises a molecular sieve and a mixed oxide, and to a method for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases of diesel engines.

Catalytic converter for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of diesel engines

A catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in diesel engine exhaust gases using ammonia or a precursor compound decomposable to ammonia. The catalyst includes two superposed coatings applied to a support body, of which the first coating applied directly to the support body includes a transition metal-exchanged zeolite and/or a transition metal-exchanged zeolite-like compound, and effectively catalyzes the SCR reaction. The second coating is applied to the first coating to cover it on the exhaust gas side and prevent hydrocarbons having at least three carbon atoms present in the exhaust gas from contacting the first coating, without blocking the passage of nitrogen oxides and ammonia to the first coating. The second coating may be formed from small-pore zeolites and/or small-pore, zeolite-like compounds, and from suitable oxides, especially silicon dioxide, germanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium dioxide and mixtures thereof.

SCR catalytic converter having improved hydrocarbon resistance

The invention relates to a catalytically active material for reacting nitrogen oxides with ammonia in the presence of hydrocarbons. The material consists of an inner core () made of a zeolite exchanged with one or more transition metals or a zeolite-like compound exchanged with one or more transition metals. The core of the catalytically active material is encased by a shell (), which is made of one or more oxides selected from silicon dioxide, germanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium dioxide, and mixed oxides thereof.

Catalytically active material and catalytic converter for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides

A process for improving catalytic activity of a copper-promoted zeolitic catalyst with a chabazite structure, the copper-promoted zeolitic catalyst having a temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) signal in a temperature range from 230&#xb0; C. to 240&#xb0; C. as examined in a TPR with a test gas having a hydrogen content of 5% by volume, a heating rate of 10 K/min, and a catalyst sample weight containing from 3 to 8 milligrams of copper calculated as metal.

Copper/chabazite-based catalyst with improved catalytic activity for reduction of nitrogen oxides

The invention relates to the use of mixed oxides made of cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, rare earth sesquioxide and niobium oxide as catalytically active materials for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia or a compound that can decompose to form ammonia in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines in motor vehicles that are predominantly leanly operated, and to compositions or catalysts which contain said mixed oxides in combination with zeolite compounds and/or zeolite-like compounds and are suitable for the denitrogenation of lean motor vehicle exhaust gases in all essential operating states.
