The present disclosure generally provides selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst compositions, catalyst articles and catalyst systems including such catalyst articles for treating engine exhaust gas. In particular, the SCR catalyst composition includes a first zeolite and a second zeolite and has not been subjected to temperatures above 650° C. The first zeolite includes a promoter metal and has a first framework structure and at least a portion of the second zeolite is in a form selected from Hform, NHform, alkali metal form, alkaline earth metal form, and combinations thereof and has a second framework structure. The first framework structure and the second framework structure are different.

Mixed zeolite-containing SCR catalyst

The present disclosure provides SCR catalyst compositions capable of reducing nitrogen oxide (NO) emissions in engine exhaust. The catalyst compositions include a reducible metal oxide support containing ceria, one or more transition metal oxides as a redox promotor; and an oxide of niobium, tungsten, silicon, molybdenum, or a combination thereof as an acidic promotor. The redox promotor and the acid promotor are both supported on the reducible metal oxide support. Further provided are SCR catalyst articles coated with such compositions, processes for preparing such catalyst compositions and articles, an exhaust gas treatment system including such catalyst articles, and methods for reducing NOin an exhaust gas stream using such catalyst articles and systems.

Metal oxide-based SCR catalyst composition

The present disclosure provides catalyst compositions for NOx conversion and catalytic articles incorporating such catalyst compositions. Certain catalyst compositions include a zeolite with a silica-to-alumina ratio from 5 to 20 and sufficient Cu exchanged into cation sites of the zeolite such that the zeolite has a Cu/Al ratio of 0.1 to 0.5 and a CuO loading of 1 to 15 wt. %; and a copper trapping component in a concentration in the range of 1 to 20 wt. %, the copper trapping component including a plurality of particles having a particle size of about 0.5 to 20 microns. Certain catalyst compositions include, as the copper trapping component, alumina present as a plurality of alumina particles with a Dparticle size distribution in the range of 0.5 microns to 20 microns.

Catalytic washcoat with added alumina for NOx abatement

The present disclosure provides catalyst compositions for NOconversion and wall-flow filter substrates comprising such catalyst compositions. Certain catalyst compositions include a zeolite with sufficient Cu exchanged into cation sites thereof to give a Cu/Al ratio of 0.1 to 0.5 and a CuO loading of 1 to 15 wt. %; and a copper trapping component (e.g., alumina) including a plurality of particles having a Dparticle size of about 0.5 to 20 microns in a concentration of about 1 to 20 wt. %. The zeolite and copper trapping component can be in the same washcoat layer or can be in different washcoat layers (such that the copper trapping component serves as a 'pre-coating' on the wall-flow filter substrate).

Catalytic composition with added copper trapping component for NOx abatement

Disclosed herein are emission treatment systems, articles, and methods for selectively reducing NOx compounds. The systems include a hydrogen generator, a hydrogen selective catalytic reduction (H-SCR) article, and one or more of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and/or a lean NOx trap (LNT) and/or a low temperature NOx adsorber (LTNA). Certain articles may comprise a zone coated substrate and/or a layered coated substrate and/or an intermingled coated substrate of one or more of the H-SCR and/or DOC and/or LNT and/or LTNA catalytic compositions.

Low temperature NOx reduction using H2-SCR for diesel vehicles

A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst composition effective in the abatement of nitrogen oxides (NO) is provided. The SCR catalyst composition significantly increases the conversion of NOrelative to a Cu-chabazite reference catalyst composition at any temperature, and especially at low temperatures. A catalyst article, an exhaust gas treatment system, and a method of treating an exhaust gas stream, each including the SCR catalyst composition of the invention, are also provided. The SCR catalyst composition is particularly useful for treatment of exhaust from a lean-burn engine.

Advanced NOreduction catalysts

A three-way catalyst for reduced palladium loading is provided. The catalyst includes an inert substrate and a palladium catalyst material coating the substrate. The palladium catalyst material includes a support material formed from one of 10% CeO/AlO, 20% CeO&#x2014;AlO(20CeAlOy), 30% CeO&#x2014;AlO(30CeAlOy), AlO, and MOx-AlO, wherein M is one of copper, iron, manganese, titanium, zirconium, magnesium, strontium, and barium. The palladium catalyst material includes a layer of CeOmaterial disposed upon the support material, wherein the layer of CeOmaterial is dispersed on a surface of the support material. The palladium catalyst material includes an active component including a layer of praseodymium oxide particles dispersed across the surface of the layer of CeOmaterial and a layer of palladium particles disposed upon and dispersed across the surface of the layer of CeOmaterial at locations each corresponding to a respective location of each of the praseodymium particles.

An on-board vehicle reservoir containing an ammonia/organic solvent solution may be associated with a phase separator configured to isolate ammonia from the solution. The ammonia may be introduced into an exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine to function as a catalytic reductant. Ammonia may be employed to generate hydrogen via catalytic decomposition of ammonia, and the hydrogen may be introduced into an exhaust gas stream to aid catalytic reactions such as catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and/or hydrocarbon (HC) and/or reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO); for instance during a cold-start period.
