The invention provides a catalyzed soot filter formed on a wall flow substrate having internal walls coated with catalyst compositions. The soot filter maintains a homogeneous flow of the exhaust gases through the internal walls of the substrate along the length of the filter due to the coating design. Both the efficiency and the durability of the catalytic function are increased over conventionally designed catalyzed soot filters. The catalyzed soot filter provides an integrated function for simultaneously treating the gaseous components of the exhaust (e.g., CO and HC) and the particulate matter deposited in the filter.

Pressure-balanced, catalyzed soot filter

The present invention relates to a method and article for treating a diesel engine exhaust stream. The stream is contacted with an upstream catalytic composition having a cerium component and/or a zeolite component to reduce the quantity and amount of the particulate matter in the exhaust stream. The stream passes from the upstream catalytic composition to a particulate filter located downstream from the upstream catalytic composition.

Diesel oxidation catalyst

A catalyst composition and structure containing the same and methods for treating diesel exhaust including a catalyst comprising a precious metal on a support, a first zeolite component in the presence of a precious metal and a second zeolite component comprising a zeolite and a precious metal, and a non-catalytic pore-containing zeolite.

Four-way diesel exhaust catalyst and method of use

A combustor for supporting the catalytic combustion of a gaseous carbonaceous fuel/air combustion mixture contains a catalyst zone in which is disposed a catalyst body comprising at least a first and a second catalyst member and further contains a downstream zone where homogeneous combustion occurs. Each catalyst member is comprised of a carrier body having a catalyst material deposited thereon. The first carrier is made of a silica-magnesia-alumina material comprised primarily of cordierite, mullite and corundum and the second carrier is made of a ceramic fiber matrix material comprising ceramic (alumina-boron oxide-silica) fibers in a silicon carbide matrix.

Substrate configuration for catalytic combustion systems

A catalyst bed (30) for a combustor (18) for supporting the catalytic combustion of a gaseous air/fuel (e.g., methane or natural gas) combustion mixture contains an igniter catalyst member (1) upstream of a promoter catalyst member (2). The catalyst members each comprise carrier monoliths, the igniter catalyst member (1) having an igniter catalyst material deposited thereon and the promoter catalyst member (2) having a promoter catalyst material deposited thereon. The igniter catalyst material is distinguished from the promoter catalyst material in one or more of the following ways: the igniter catalyst material may have (a) a higher catalytic activity for combustion of the air/fuel mixture, (b) a lower catalyst deactivation temperature than the promoter catalyst material, and/or (c) the promoter catalyst regeneration temperature range brackets the upper limit of the regeneration temperature range of the igniter catalyst.

Catalyst configuration for catalytic combustion systems

A sulfur-resistant CO, hydrocarbon and SO.sub.x oxidation catalyst is provided comprising silica particles which have been coated with titania or zirconia or precursors thereof and which have deposited thereon a precious metal such as platinum. The coated silica catalyst can be included in a washcoat for application to a ceramic honeycomb carrier.
