Abstract

The invention relates to a selective ammonia oxidation catalysts comprising a platinum group metal and a support comprising TiO 2 doped with 0-10% by weight of SiO 2 , WO 3 , ZrO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , La 2 O 3 , or a mixture thereof. The invention further comprises methods for the manufacture of the selective ammonia oxidation catalysts, and integrated catalyst systems comprising the selective ammonia oxidation catalysts for treating an exhaust gas stream.

Claims (19)

1 . A selective ammonia oxidation (AMOx) catalyst, comprising:

a platinum group metal and a support consisting of TiO 2 ,

wherein the TiO 2 is doped with from 0 wt. % to 10 wt. % of SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , La 2 O 3 , or a mixture thereof, and

wherein the TiO 2 has a BET specific surface area ranging from 9 m 2 /g to 25 m 2 /g after 10% vol H 2 O hydrothermal aging at 750° C. for 20 hours.

2 . The AMOx catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the TiO 2 has a mean pore volume ranging from 0.01 cm 3 /g to 0.2 cm 3 /g after aging at 750° C. for 20 hours; or a mean pore diameter in the range of 2 nm to 50 nm after aging at 750° C. for 20 hours.

3 . The AMOx catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a loading of the platinum group metal ranges from about 0.3 g/ft 3 to about 20 g/ft 3 , calculated as a total weight of platinum group metal over a volume of the substrate.

4 . The AMOx catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the platinum group metal is Pt.

5 . The AMOx catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the AMOx catalyst is coated on a substrate in a loading amount ranging from 0.1 g/in 3 to g/in 3 , calculated as a total weight of AMOx catalyst over a volume of the substrate.

6 . An integrated catalyst system, comprising the AMOx catalyst according claim 1 ; and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, wherein the SCR catalyst is located in a zone upstream of the AMOx catalyst; located in a layer above the AMOx catalyst; homogeneously blended with the AMOx catalyst; or any combination thereof.

7 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 6 , wherein the SCR catalyst comprises a prompter metal on a molecular sieve material.

8 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 7 , wherein the molecular sieve material is chosen from framework types of CHA, AEI, AFX, ERI, KFI, LEV, AFT, EAB, DDR, PAU, RHO, SAV, SAT, TSC, UEI, LTA, MFI, FER, FAU and combinations thereof.

9 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 8 , wherein the molecular sieve material is a CHA framework type; and wherein the crystallite size of the CHA ranges from about 0.1 microns to about 5 microns.

10 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 7 , wherein the molecular sieve material has a silica to alumina ratio ranging from 2 to 200.

11 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 7 , wherein the promoter metal is Cu, Fe, or combination thereof, and the promoter metal content of the SCR catalyst ranges from 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. %, calculated as the oxide.

12 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 7 , wherein the AMOx catalyst and SCR catalyst are integrated as one catalyst or on one substrate.

13 . The integrated catalyst system according to claim 7 , wherein the substrate is a flow-through monolith or a wall-flow filter.

14 . An exhaust treatment system comprising:

a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a catalyzed soot filter (CSF), a reductant injector, and the integrated catalyst system of claim 6 ;

optionally, the exhaust treatment system further comprises a second selective catalyzed reduction (SCR) catalyst and/or a lean NOx trap (LNT).
