Patent number: 10539055Abstract: An exhaust system for treating an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system comprises a modified lean NOx trap (LNT), a urea injection system, and an ammonia-selective catalytic reduction catalyst. The modified LNT comprises a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises a NOx adsorbent component and one or more platinum group metals. The second layer comprises a diesel oxidation catalyst zone and an NO oxidation zone. The diesel oxidation catalyst zone comprises a platinum group metal, a zeolite, and optionally an alkaline earth metal. The NO oxidation zone comprises a platinum group metal and a carrier. The modified LNT stores NOx at temperatures below about 200° C. and releases at temperatures above about 200° C. The modified LNT and a method of using the modified LNT are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventors: Paul Richard Phillips, Stuart David Reid, Daniel Swallow, James Alexander Wylie

Patent number: 10179329Abstract: A catalyst article comprises an SCR catalyst and a NOx adsorber catalyst, where each of these catalysts comprise a metal molecular sieve, each with a different metal. The catalyst article can be close coupled with other components to give a NOX performance advantage from cold start to a combined DOC and SCRF system. Higher NOX conversion is also shown in under-floor location due to NOx storage before SCR light off and selective NH3 slip control, allowing higher NH3 fill levels. Systems comprising the catalyst article and methods of using the catalyst article to give improved hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide control, as well as ammonia slip control, are described. The systems can include flow-through or wall-flow monoliths.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventors: Paul Richard Phillips, Guy Richard Chandler, Alexander Nicholas Michael Green, Matthew Eben Harris, James Alexander Wylie, Miroslaw Gall, Garry Adam Burgess

Publication number: 20160166990Abstract: A system for treating exhaust gases from a combustion engine and a method for using the same results in improved NOx conversion during engine startup. The system includes a compact SCR flow-through monolith installed upstream of a close-coupled SCR wall-flow filter, wherein the compact SCR flow-through monolith may be extruded or made of a thin-walled substrate, such that the SCR flow-through monolith has a smaller volume with lower heat capacity and higher catalyst loading relative to the SCR wall-flow filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2013Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: PAUL RICHARD PHILLIPS, JAMES ALEXANDER WYLIE
