  • Patent number: 10252217
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention pertain to catalytic articles and methods of making catalytic articles comprising a first catalytic coating comprising a platinum group metal, wherein the first catalytic coating is substantially free of Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, V, Co, Ga, Mo, Mg, Cr and Zn; a second catalytic coating comprising a non-PGM metal, wherein the second catalytic coating is substantially free of any platinum group metal; and one or more substrates, wherein the first catalytic coating is separated from the second catalytic coating, optionally with a barrier layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2019
    Assignee: BASF Corporation
    Inventors: Qinglin Zhang, Ye Liu, Pascaline Harrison Tran, Xinsheng Liu, Michelle Casper, Michael P. Galligan, John R. Adomaitis, Shau-Lin F. Chen, Weiliang Feng

  • Publication number: 20010038812
    Abstract: Oxidation catalyst compositions for treating diesel exhaust include ceria and, optionally, alumina, each having a surface area of at least about 10 m2/g, and a zeolite, e.g., Beta zeolite. Optionally, platinum may be included in the catalytic material, preferably in amounts which are sufficient to promote some gas-phase oxidation of carbon monoxide (“CO”) and hydrocarbons (“HC”) but which are limited to preclude excessive oxidation of SO2 to SO3. Alternatively, palladium in any desired amount may be included in the catalytic material. The zeolite is optionally doped, e.g., ion-exchanged, with one or more of hydrogen, a platinum group metal or other catalytic metals. The catalyst compositions may be used in a method to treat diesel engine exhaust by contacting the hot exhaust with the catalyst composition to promote the oxidation of gas-phase CO and HC and of the volatile organic fraction component of particulates in the exhaust.
