  • Patent number: 9468915
    Abstract: Described are SCR catalyst systems comprising a first SCR catalyst composition and a second SCR catalyst composition arranged in the system, the first SCR catalyst composition having a faster DeNOx response time when exposed to ammonia than the second catalyst composition and the second SCR catalyst composition has a higher steady state DeNOx performance than the first catalyst composition. The SCR catalyst systems are useful in methods and systems to catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in the presence of a reductant.

  • Publication number: 20120077666
    Abstract: Described are catalysts for the hydrogenation, hydroisomerisation, hydrocracking and/or hydrodesulfurisation, of hydrocarbon feedstocks, the catalysts comprising a substantially binder free bead type support material comprising 5 to 60 wt. % of at least one crystalline molecular sieve material and 40 to 95 wt. % of non-crystalline, non-zeolitic silica-alumina and a catalytically active component comprising precious metals. Also described are methods for making catalyst supports by the dropwise addition of an aqueous sol of inorganic salts of aluminum and silicon, having dispersed therein the crystalline molecular sieve material, through an oil-phase to a water phase, thus providing homogeneous beads that are obtained without a separate shape-forming step.

  • Publication number: 20090173063
    Abstract: An emission treatment system and associated method for treating an exhaust stream containing nitrogen oxides and particulate matter are disclosed. One embodiment of the system comprises a flow-through oxidation catalyst, a reductant injector downstream from the oxidation catalyst, a particulate filter downstream from the reductant injector, an SCR catalyst downstream from the particulate filter and an ammonia oxidation catalyst downstream from the SCR catalyst. An embodiment of the method comprises passing the exhaust gas stream through the oxidation catalyst, injecting a reductant into the exhaust gas stream, passing the exhaust gas stream through the particulate filter, passing the exhaust gas stream through an SCR catalyst, and passing the exhaust gas stream through an ammonia oxidation catalyst.
