  • Patent number: 9694320
    Abstract: The invention relates to the possibility of improving selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which is the selective reaction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in the exhaust gas of combustion processes on an exhaust-gas catalytic converter suitable therefor—the SCR catalytic converter. For this purpose, materials used in the catalytic converter for storing ammonia are distributed on the catalyst carrier in such a way that, viewed in the flow direction, a region having low ammonia storage capacity is followed by a region of higher ammonia storage capacity.

  • Patent number: 8926925
    Abstract: A catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in diesel engine exhaust gases using ammonia or a precursor compound decomposable to ammonia. The catalyst includes two superposed coatings applied to a support body, of which the first coating applied directly to the support body includes a transition metal-exchanged zeolite and/or a transition metal-exchanged zeolite-like compound, and effectively catalyzes the SCR reaction. The second coating is applied to the first coating to cover it on the exhaust gas side and prevent hydrocarbons having at least three carbon atoms present in the exhaust gas from contacting the first coating, without blocking the passage of nitrogen oxides and ammonia to the first coating. The second coating may be formed from small-pore zeolites and/or small-pore, zeolite-like compounds, and from suitable oxides, especially silicon dioxide, germanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium dioxide and mixtures thereof.
