Patent number: 8601794Abstract: A regeneration apparatus comprises a heater 2 which heats a catalyst 1 at the time of stopping fuel supply to an engine, a pump 4 which supplies an oxidizing gas or a reducing gas to the heated catalyst 1 and a switching valve 3. In the oxidizing step, catalytic poisons, for example hydrocarbon, which are absorbed on a noble metal are oxidized and removed. The particles of the noble metal become oxidized particles as pure oxide and the like. After the oxidizing step, the reducing step is carried out. In the reducing step, particles of the noble metal are reduced and re-dispersed on the support simultaneously and as a result, the particles of the noble metal become fine. Thus, a deteriorated catalyst can be regenerated without interrupting the use of catalyst and also without deteriorating the drivability.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanori Yamato, Takeru Yoshida, Nobuyuki Takagi, Toshitaka Tanabe, Yasutaka Nagai, Kazuhiko Dohmae, Naoki Takahashi

Patent number: 7846865Abstract: In the present invention, it is an assignment to optimize a loading density of noble metal on catalyst. Pt is loaded in such an amount that a loading amount per 1 liter of a support substrate exceeds 0.75 g on an exhaust-gas upstream side of a coating layer, and a loading density of Rh in the coating layer is made so that it becomes higher on an exhaust-gas downstream side than on the exhaust-gas upstream side. The purifying performance after warming up improves by loading Rh with high density on the exhaust-gas downstream side that is likely to become rich atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2007Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanori Yamato, Oji Kuno
