  • Patent number: 11179676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a particulate filter for removing particles, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides out of the exhaust gas of combustion engines operated with stoichiometric air/fuel mixture, comprising a wall flow filter with length L and a coating Z, wherein the wall flow filter includes channels E and A which extend in parallel between a first and a second end of the wall flow filter and are separated by porous walls, which form surfaces OE or OA, and wherein the channels E are closed at the second end and the channels A are closed at the first end, characterised in that coating Z is located in the porous walls and extends from the first end of the wall flow filter over the entire length L, and includes active aluminum oxide, two different cerium/zirconium/rare earth metal mixed oxides and at least one platinum group metal.
