Abstract: An aftertreatment system for an engine is disclosed. The aftertreatment system may include an exhaust passage configured to receive an exhaust flow from the engine, and an injector disposed in the exhaust passage and configured to inject reductant into the exhaust flow. The aftertreatment system may also include a bypass conduit fluidly connected to the exhaust passage downstream of the injector, at least one valve disposed in the bypass conduit and configured to divert exhaust gases from the exhaust passage into the bypass conduit, and a reductant storage device disposed in the bypass conduit and configured to store ammonia in the exhaust gases. The aftertreatment system may also include a control module configured to selectively operate the at least one valve.

Abstract: A catalyst is disclosed. The catalyst contains a ternary nitride and at least one of gold, osmium, iridium, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, ruthenium, or cesium. The catalyst may be used for a particulate filter in an engine exhaust treatment system.

Abstract: A cordierite batch composition that includes a hydratable alumina, as defined herein. The hydratable alumina, when hydrated, can provide additional strength to shaped batch compositions at temperatures below those used to fire the compositions. Methods are also provided for forming cordierite ceramic articles from the cordierite batch compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a filtering element. The filtering element may comprise at least one channel defined by at least one wall. The at least one wall extends longitudinally from a first end of the channel to a second end of the channel, the at least one channel having an unobstructed first end and an unobstructed second end. The filtering element further includes at least one partial barrier configured to reduce a path of a flow of exhaust through the at least one channel, the at least one partial barrier being positioned within the at least one channel so as to redirect a portion of the exhaust flow within the channel. The at least one channel includes a selective catalytic reduction catalyst on at least a portion of one of a surface of the at least one partial barrier or a surface of the at least one wall.

Abstract: Various examples of system and methods for particulate filters include a particulate filter comprising a housing having a flow axis between an input header and an output header, and a plurality of filter segments arranged in a stacked array, the stacked array disposed within the housing and lying in a plane normal to the flow axis, the stacked array including a first filter segment having a first average flow characteristic per unit area and a second filter segment having a second average flow characteristic per unit area, the first average flow characteristic per unit area different from the second average flow characteristic per unit area, each particular filter segment of the plurality of filter segments having a segment flow axis substantially in parallel alignment with the flow axis.

Abstract: An exhaust treatment system for a combustion source is disclosed. The exhaust treatment system may have a supply of catalyst configured to lower the combustion threshold value of an exhaust constituent, and an injector operable to selectively pass catalyst to the exhaust constituent. The exhaust treatment system may further have a controller in communication with the injector. The controller may be configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust flow, and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature.

Abstract: A catalytic filter system is disclosed. The catalytic filter system contains a catalyst including a ternary nitride and at least one of gold, osmium, iridium, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, ruthenium, or cesium. The catalytic filter system may further include an energy source situated to impart energy to the catalyst.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment system of an internal combustion engine includes a selective catalytic reduction catalyst fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine, an oxidation catalyst fluidly connected upstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and a particulate filter fluidly connected upstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst. The exhaust gas treatment system further includes a recirculation line configured to direct a portion of an exhaust flow of the internal combustion engine toward an inlet of the engine.
