  • Patent number: 10914214
    Abstract: A particle filter for treating exhaust gases includes an SCR catalyst that, when in the presence of a reductant such as ammonia, promotes selective catalytic reduction of NOx; an active oxidation catalyst that promotes oxidation of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide; and an oxygen storage catalyst that alternately stores and releases oxygen, enhances soot oxidation, and stores NOx at temperatures below optimal SCR functioning. The particle filter may be included in a system having an oxidation catalytic device (OCD) upstream of the particle filter, and optionally includes one or more SCR converters upstream and/or downstream of the particle filter, and/or an ammonia slip catalyst downstream of the particle filter. The system may further be adapted for operation under a high frequency injection fuel control with an OCD having substantial NOx storage material content, or an NSC for improving the efficiency tradeoffs between soot oxidation during filter regeneration and NOx reduction.
