Patent number: 8122603Abstract: Provided is an emission treatment system and method for simultaneously remediating the nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and gaseous hydrocarbons present in diesel engine exhaust streams. The emission treatment system has an oxidation catalyst upstream of a soot filter coated with a material effective in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NOx by a reductant, e.g., ammonia. Also provided is a method for disposing an SCR catalyst composition on a wall flow monolith that provides adequate catalyst loading, but does not result in unsuitable back pressures in the exhaust.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Joseph A.

Patent number: 7150145Abstract: A diesel powered vehicle is provided with an SCR system which uses an external reducing reagent to convert NOx emissions in a manner which accounts for the effects of NOx transient emissions on the reducing catalyst. Actual NOx emissions produced by the engine are filtered using a variable NOx time constant in turn correlated to the reductant/NOx storage capacity of the reducing catalyst at its current temperature to account for changes in the SCR system attributed to NOx transient emissions. Catalyst temperature is filtered using a variable catalyst time constant corresponding to current space velocity of the exhaust gas to account for changes in the catalyst temperature attributed to NOx transient emissions. The reductant is metered on the basis of the filtered, corrected NOx concentration applied at a NSR ratio based, in turn, on the filtered, corrected reducing catalyst temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: Engelhard CorporationInventors: Joseph A.

Patent number: 6162524Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of removing a coating, such as a spent catalyst coating, from a carrier such as a metal plate or a honeycomb carrier. The metal plates have a surface which has the catalyst coating. The honeycomb is of the type having a plurality of channels defined by honeycomb walls, the honeycomb walls the having a coating thereon. The method comprises directing a fluid stream which can comprise a cleaning liquid at the coated plate surface or into the honeycomb channels with sufficient force to loosen and remove at least some of the coating from the carrier surface. The carrier can then be separated from the liquid and dried. Where additional coating is to be removed, a stream of gas is directed at the carrier surface with sufficient force to loosen and remove at least some of the coating. The cleaned carrier can then be recoated. The present invention includes reclaimed and recoated articles.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1998Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Engelhard CorporationInventors: Joseph A. Patchett, Barry K.
