A NOabsorber catalyst comprising a substrate monolith coated with one or more washcoat layers and comprising a first component comprising a nitrogen oxide storage component, at least one precious metal and a dispersed rare earth oxide supported on a refractory support material, and a second component comprising a precious metal supported on a bulk reducible oxide that is substantially free of nitrogen oxide storage material, wherein the precious metal present in the second component comprises Pt, Pd or a combination of both Pt and Pd and wherein the bulk reducible oxide is an oxide, a composite oxide or a mixed oxide comprising at least one of manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, tin or cerium.

An exhaust system for treating exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system comprises a three-way catalyst (TWC), a fuel reformer catalyst located downstream of the TWC, and a fuel supply means located upstream of the fuel reformer catalyst. The exhaust gas is split into two portions. The first portion of the exhaust gas bypasses the TWC and contacts the fuel reformer catalyst in the presence of fuel added from the fuel supply means, and is then recycled back to the engine intake. The second portion of the exhaust gas is contacted with the TWC and is then utilized to heat the fuel reformer catalyst before being expelled to atmosphere. The exhaust system allows for maximum heat exchange from the exhaust gas.

Exhaust system with a reformer catalyst

Methods, apparatus, and systems for producing hydrogen from a fuel

An OBD system that diagnoses on board the condition of NOx adsorber catalysts in diesel engines and that relies on existing mass-produced exhaust gas oxygen sensor, also known as lambda sensor, technology, and the following established phenomena. In a reducing environment, typical exhaust gas oxygen (lambda) sensors have different sensitivities to various reductants, with sensitivity decreasing in this order: H&#x3e;CO&#x3e;short-chain hydrocarbons&#x3e;long-chain hydrocarbons. In the process of regeneration of the NOx adsorber catalyst, the original reductant may evolve into a different reductant species, e.g., via reactions such as a water-gas shift (WGS), a reforming, a partial oxidation, etc. This leads to a difference in exhaust gas oxygen sensor readings between the inlet to the catalyst and outlet from the catalyst. It has been observed in diesel engine testing that the ability of the NOx adsorber catalyst to perform such a reductant evolution is correlative to the catalyst's NOx reduction capability.
