  • Patent number: 9180432
    Abstract: A catalyst for NOx storage and reduction may include a carrier that contains alkali metal and Al, or alkali earth metal and Al, a NOx storage element of alkali metal, alkali earth metal or rare earth element, and one or more noble metals that are selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ag, Au and Rh. The catalyst for NOx storage and reduction shows excellent NOx storage and reduction capability, maintains excellent storage and reduction capability especially before and after deterioration and sulfation, and shows excellent catalytic activity under low temperature environment, while maintaining unusually high hydrophobicity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2015
    Assignees: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA MOTORS CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 8393145
    Abstract: An exhaust gas post processing method may include regenerating a diesel particulate filter, reducing a part remaining in the diesel particulate filter by raising the concentration of a reducing agent included in the exhaust gas after the regeneration, oxidizing a part remaining in the diesel particulate filter by raising the concentration of oxygen included in the exhaust gas after the regeneration, and calculating a real ash amount trapped in the diesel particulate filter by detecting a front/rear pressure difference of the diesel particulate filter after the reducing and the oxidation. Accordingly, after regenerating the diesel particulate filter, impurities are sequentially eliminated in the reducing condition and the oxidation condition, and ultimately the real ash amount can be accurately estimated. Further, based on the accurate ash amount, the particulate matter amount can be accurately predicted.
