Patent number: 11872542Abstract: A catalyst article is provided including a substrate including a plurality of passageways, and further including a first and a second oxidation region including a first and a second subset of said plurality of passageways. A first catalyst composition is coating at least a portion of each passageway of the first oxidation region and positioned as a sole PGM-containing catalyst layer, or a zoned portion thereof, or as a top PGM-containing catalyst layer, or a zoned portion thereof, in the first oxidation region. A second catalyst composition is coating at least a portion of each passageway of the second oxidation region and positioned as a sole PGM-containing catalyst layer, or a zoned portion thereof, or as a top PGM-containing catalyst layer, or a zoned portion thereof, in the second oxidation region. The Pt:Pd weight ratio is greater in the first catalyst composition than in the second catalyst composition.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Inventors: Weiyong Tang, Sandip D. Shah, Andreas R. Munding, Fabien A. Rioult, Ramesh Murlidhar Kakwani

Patent number: 11448110Abstract: Certain selective catalytic reduction (SCR) articles, systems and methods provide for high NOx conversion while at the same time low N2O formation. The articles, systems and methods are suitable for instance for the treatment of exhaust gas of diesel engines. Certain articles have zoned coatings containing copper-containing molecular sieves disposed thereon, where for example a concentration of catalytic copper in an upstream zone is lower than the concentration of catalytic copper in a downstream zone.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Wen-Mei Xue, Jeff H. Yang, Stanley A. Roth, Kenneth E. Voss, Sandip D. Shah, Jaya L. Mohanan

Patent number: 11154815Abstract: Described are exhaust gas treatment systems for treatment of an engine exhaust gas stream containing NOx. The exhaust gas treatment system comprises an engine, a catalyst system including a selective catalytic reduction article comprising two zones, an upstream zone comprising iron-promoted first molecular sieves and a downstream zone comprising copper-promoted second molecular sieves. The catalyst system is effective to reduce high NOx levels in the exhaust gas stream. Also described are methods for treatment of engine exhaust gas streams, comprising treating engine exhaust gas streams containing high NOx levels with catalyst systems including selective catalytic reduction articles having two zones.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Kenneth E.
