  • Publication number: 20150152768
    Abstract: A catalysed honeycomb wall-flow filter for treating exhaust gas comprising particulate matter emitted from an internal combustion engine, which filter comprising a honeycomb substrate having a first end and a second end and comprising an array of interconnecting porous walls defining an array of longitudinally extending first channels and second channels, wherein the first channels are bordered on their sides by the second channels and have a larger hydraulic diameter than the second channels, wherein the first channels are end-plugged at a first end of the honeycomb substrate and the second channels are end-plugged at a second end of the honeycomb substrate, wherein channel wall surfaces of the first channels comprise an on-wall-type catalytic washcoat. The invention also relates to an exhaust system comprising the catalysed filter and to methods of making it.

  • Patent number: 8367578
    Abstract: An article for treating a gas containing nitrogen oxides having a monolith substrate loaded with a catalytic composition containing at least one catalytic component consisting of (i) at least one transition metal dispersed on a mixed oxide or composite oxide or a mixture thereof as support material consisting of cerium and zirconium; or (ii) cerium oxide and zirconium oxide as single oxides or a composite oxide thereof or a mixture of the single oxides and the composite oxide dispersed on an inert oxide support material, wherein at least one transition metal is dispersed thereon, wherein the at least one transition metal is selected from the group consisting of a metal from Group VIB, IB, IVA, VB, VIIB, and VIII and mixtures of any two or more thereof, provided that at least one selected transition metal is tungsten, wherein the catalytic composition is disposed on said monolith substrate.
