Abstract

A catalyst article including a substrate with an inlet side and an outlet side, a first zone and a second zone, where the first zone includes an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) comprising a platinum group metal on a support and a first SCR catalyst; where the second zone includes a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel exotherm catalyst (DEC); and where the first zone is located upstream of the second zone. The first zone may include a bottom layer with a blend of: (1) the platinum group metal on a support and (2) the first SCR catalyst; and a top layer comprising a second SCR catalyst, the top layer located over the bottom layer.

Claims (37)

1. A catalyst article comprising a substrate comprising an inlet side and an outlet side, a first zone and a second zone,

wherein the first zone comprises an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) comprising a platinum group metal on a support and a first SCR catalyst;

wherein the second zone comprises a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel exotherm catalyst (DEC); and

wherein the first zone is located upstream of the second zone.

2. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the first zone comprises

a. a bottom layer comprising a blend of: (1) the platinum group metal on a support and (2) the first SCR catalyst;

b. a top layer comprising a second SCR catalyst, the top layer located over the bottom layer.

3. The catalyst article of claim 2 , wherein, within the blend, a weight ratio of the first SCR catalyst to the platinum group metal on a support is about 5:1 to about 100:1.

4. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a siliceous material.

5. The catalyst article of claim 4 , wherein the siliceous material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: (1) silica; (2) a zeolite with a silica-to-alumina ratio higher than 200; and (3) amorphous silica-doped alumina with SiO 2 content >40%.

6. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the platinum group metal is present on the support in an amount of about 0.5 wt % to about 10 wt % of the total weight of the platinum group metal and the support.

7. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the first SCR catalyst comprises copper.

8. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the first zone and the second zone are located on a single substrate and the first zone is located on the inlet side of the substrate and the second zone is located on the outlet side of the substrate.

9. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a first substrate and a second substrate, where the first zone is located on the first substrate and the second zone is located on the second substrate and the first substrate is located upstream of the second substrate.

10. The catalyst article of claim 1 , wherein the first zone comprises

a. a bottom layer comprising the platinum group metal on a support;

b. a top layer comprising the first SCR catalyst, the top layer located over the bottom layer.

11. A method of reducing emissions from an exhaust stream, comprising contacting the exhaust stream with the catalyst article of claim 1 .

12. A catalyst article comprising a substrate comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone,

wherein the first zone comprises a second SCR catalyst;

wherein the second zone comprises an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) comprising a blend of: (1) a platinum group metal on a support and (2) a first SCR catalyst;

wherein the third zone comprises a catalyst (“third zone catalyst”) selected from the group consisting of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel exotherm catalyst (DEC); and

wherein the first zone is located upstream of the second zone, and the second zone is located upstream of the third zone.

13. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein

the ASC is included in a first layer;

the third zone catalyst is included in a second layer which extends from the outlet end to less than a total length of the substrate, where the second layer is located on top of the first layer and is shorter in length than the first layer; and

the second SCR catalyst is included in a layer which extends from the inlet end to less than a total length of the substrate, and which at least partially overlaps the first layer.

14. The catalyst article of claim 13 , wherein the first layer extends from the outlet end to less than a total length of the substrate.

15. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the support comprises a siliceous material.

16. The catalyst article of claim 15 , wherein the siliceous material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: (1) silica; (2) a zeolite with a silica-to-alumina ratio higher than 200; and (3) amorphous silica-doped alumina with SiO 2 content >40%.

17. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the platinum group metal is present on the support in an amount of about 1 wt % to about 6 wt % of the total weight of the platinum group metal and the support.

18. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein, within the blend, a weight ratio of the first SCR catalyst to the platinum group metal on a support is about 5:1 to about 100:1.

19. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the first SCR catalyst comprises copper.

20. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the first zone, the second zone, and the third zone are located on a single substrate and the first zone is located on the inlet side of the substrate and the third zone is located on the outlet side of the substrate.

21. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the substrate comprises a first substrate and a second substrate, where the first zone and second zone are located on the first substrate and the third zone is located on the second substrate and the first substrate is located upstream of the second substrate.

22. The catalyst article of claim 12 , wherein the substrate comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, and a third substrate, where the first zone is located on the first substrate, the second zone is located on the second substrate, and the third zone is located on the third substrate, and the first substrate is located upstream of the second substrate and the second substrate is located upstream of the third substrate.

23. A method of reducing emissions from an exhaust stream, comprising contacting the exhaust stream with the catalyst article of claim 12 .
