  • Patent number: 10625243
    Abstract: A catalytic wall-flow monolith for use in an emission treatment system comprises a porous substrate and a three-way catalyst (TWC), wherein the TWC is distributed substantially throughout the porous substrate and wherein the TWC comprises: (i) alumina; (ii) one or more platinum group metals; and (iii) an oxygen storage component (OSC), wherein the OSC comprises ceria or one or more mixed oxides comprising cerium and is present in a ratio by weight of OSC to alumina of from 65:35 to 85:15.

  • Publication number: 20140234189
    Abstract: A positive ignition engine is disclosed. The engine comprises an exhaust system comprising a filter for filtering particulate matter from the emitted exhaust gas. The filter comprises a porous substrate having inlet surfaces and outlet surfaces. The porous substrate is coated at least in part with a three-way catalyst washcoat comprising a platinum group metal and a plurality of solid particles. The plurality of solid particles comprises at least one base metal oxide and at least one oxygen storage component which is a mixed oxide or composite oxide comprising cerium. The mixed oxide or composite oxide comprising cerium and/or the at least one base metal oxide has a median particle size (D50) less than 1 ?m. The platinum group metal platinum and rhodium; palladium and rhodium; platinum, palladium and rhodium; palladium only; or rhodium only. A process for treating exhaust gas using the filter is also disclosed.
