Abstract: Disclosed herein is a catalytic article including a first layer having at least one first platinum group metal supported on a first support, where the first support includes an alumina and a first oxygen storage component, and the first oxygen storage component includes ceria-zirconia; a second layer including at least one second platinum group metal supported on a second support, where the second support includes an alumina and a second oxygen storage component, and the second oxygen storage component includes ceria-zirconia; and a substrate . Further disclosed herein is a process for preparing the catalytic article.

Abstract: Described herein is a coating system configured for providing a washcoat onto a substrate. The coating system can be configured to pump a coating solution, particularly a low viscosity solution, into a coating vessel have the substrate positioned therein. The coating system further includes elements configured for removal of a non-coating portion of the coating solution from the substrate and recycling of the non-coating portion. Also described herein are methods for applying a washcoat to a substrate as well as multi-station coater systems.

Abstract: A catalyst, its method of preparation and its use for producing at least one of methacrolein and methacrylic acid, for example, by subjecting isobutane or isobutylene or a mixture thereof to a vapor phase catalytic oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen. In the case where isobutane alone is subjected to a vapor phase catalytic oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen, the product is at least one of isobutylene, methacrolein and methacrylic acid.
