  • Publication number: 20240149257
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wall-flow filter which is used in particular in exhaust gas systems of vehicles driven by gasoline engines. The filter has three-way activity and filters fine particles, which result from the combustion of gasoline, from the exhaust gas stream. The invention also relates to a method for producing a corresponding filter and to the preferred use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220176355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a particulate filter for removing particles, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas from internal combustion engines operated with a stoichiometric air-fuel mixture. Two coatings Y and Z are located in the porous walls and are present from the first end of the wall-flow filter over the entire length L of the particulate filter. Both contain active alumina, at least one cerium-zirconium-rare earth metal mixed oxide and at least one platinum group metal.
