  • Patent number: 11913367
    Abstract: There is provided an exhaust gas purifying catalyst including a substrate and catalyst portions. The substrate includes an inflow-side cells, outflow-side cells, and porous partition walls, each partition wall separating the inflow-side cell from the outflow-side cell. The catalyst portion includes: (group A) first catalyst portions, each first catalyst portion being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the inflow-side cell on an upstream side in an exhaust gas flow direction; and (group B) second catalyst portions being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the outflow-side cell on a downstream side in the exhaust gas flow direction.

  • Patent number: 11529578
    Abstract: To provide an exhaust gas purification filter having a high capability of collecting particulate matter. The exhaust gas purification filter includes a filter base material having a wall flow structure and an exhaust gas purification catalyst. A wash coating amount of the exhaust gas purification catalyst ranges from 60 to 110 g/L or less. When the exhaust gas purification filter is divided into an upstream part, a middle part, and a downstream part, and average values of catalyst area ratios of the exhaust gas purification catalyst supported by surfaces of the partition walls are acquired at predetermined locations in cells on an inflow side and cells on an outflow side, a minimum value, among the average values, is 28% or greater. A maximum value, among sizes of pores in the partition walls after the exhaust gas purification catalyst is supported, is 14.6 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20220226763
    Abstract: An exhaust emission control filter is provided that can reduce the pressure loss and has a high exhaust conversion performance and particulate matter capturing performance. An exhaust emission control filter includes: a filter base material having a wall flow structure; and an exhaust conversion catalyst carried on partitions of the filter base material. The median gas pore diameter (D50) of the filter base material after the exhaust conversion catalyst is carried on the filter base material is 17 ?m or more. The half width of the gas pore distribution of the filter base material ranges from 7 to 15 ?m. The exhaust conversion catalyst is ununiformly carried in a high-density layer having a relatively high density of the exhaust conversion catalyst and a low-density layer having a relatively low density of the exhaust conversion catalyst. The maximum gas pore diameter of the high-density layer is 11.7 ?m or less.
