Publication number: 20220134324Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and a device for coating substrates of motor vehicle exhaust gas catalysts. In this respect, the substrates can be flow-though substrates or filter systems (“wall flow”). The invention particularly describes an improvement in such coating processes in which a suspension (washcoat) containing the catalytically active material is applied to or delivered onto such a vertically oriented substrate (monolithic substrate) from above (“metered charge” process).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: UMICORE AG & CO. KGInventors: Martin FOERSTER, Juergen KOCH, Astrid MUELLER, Stéphane MASSON

Patent number: 10441971Abstract: A method of catalytically coating a honeycomb monolith, in particular a so-called flow-through monolith, is featured. The process involves quite precisely coating the monolith with a method that uses an indirect coating via a displacement body. The method included controlling the process by monitoring certain measures and controlling the liquid coating medium feed as to limit bubble formation in the liquid coating medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: UMICORE AG & CO. KGInventor: Stéphane Masson
