  • Publication number: 20200055035
    Abstract: The invention provides a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst effective in the abatement of nitrogen oxides (NOx), the SCR catalyst comprising a metal-promoted molecular sieve promoted with a metal selected from iron, copper, and combinations thereof, wherein the metal is present in an amount of 2.6% by weight or less on an oxide basis based on the total weight of the metal-promoted molecular sieve. A catalyst article, an exhaust gas treatment system method, and a method treating an exhaust gas stream, each comprising the SCR catalyst of the invention, are also provided. The SCR catalyst is particularly useful for treatment of exhaust from a lean burn gasoline engine.

  • Patent number: 9498775
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lean NOx trap diesel oxidation catalyst for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions, such as the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) and the trapping and reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Catalytic composites can comprise a catalytic material on a carrier, the catalytic material comprising a first NOx trap layer that comprises a NOx sorbent and one or more precious metal components located on the carrier and a second NOx trap layer containing hydrocarbon trapping functionality located over the first NOx trap layer that comprises a NOx sorbent, one or more precious metal components, and a zeolite, for example a beta zeolite, wherein the zeolite is substantially free of framework aluminum. Such zeolites are characterized by high crystallinity and/or by being substantially free of framework aluminum to minimize surface acidity.
