  • Publication number: 20230127269
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wall-flow filter as a particle filter with catalytically active coatings in the channels which are closed in a gas-tight manner at the opposing closed ends of the channels A at the first end, wherein the inlet region of the filter is additionally supplied with a dry powder-gas aerosol which contains metal compounds with a high melting point (such as the metal oxides Al203, Si02, Fe02, Ti02, Zn02, etc. for example) and which is to simultaneously improve the catalytic activity and the degree of filtration efficiency with respect to the exhaust gas back-pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220134324
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and a device for coating substrates of motor vehicle exhaust gas catalysts. In this respect, the substrates can be flow-though substrates or filter systems (“wall flow”). The invention particularly describes an improvement in such coating processes in which a suspension (washcoat) containing the catalytically active material is applied to or delivered onto such a vertically oriented substrate (monolithic substrate) from above (“metered charge” process).
