Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for the oxidation of NO, for the oxidation of ammonia and for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx, the catalyst comprising a flow-through substrate, a first coating comprising one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron, a second coating comprising a platinum group metal component supported on a non-zeolitic oxidic material and further comprising one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron and a third coating comprising a platinum group metal component supported on an oxidic material. The present disclosure further relates to an exhaust gas treatment system comprising said catalyst.

Claims (29)

1. A catalyst for the oxidation of NO, for the oxidation of ammonia, and for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx, comprising:

(i) a flow-through substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending from the inlet end to the outlet end and a plurality of passages defined by internal walls of the flow-through substrate extending therethrough, wherein an interface between the plurality of passages and the internal walls is defined by a surface of the internal walls;

(ii) a first coating comprising one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron;

(iii) a second coating comprising a platinum group metal component supported on a non-zeolitic oxidic material and further comprising one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron; and

(iv) a third coating comprising a platinum group metal component supported on an oxidic material;

wherein the third coating is disposed on the surface of the internal walls over z % of the axial length of the substrate from the outlet end to the inlet end, wherein z ranges from 20 to 80;

wherein the second coating extends over y % of the axial length of the substrate from the inlet end to the outlet end and is disposed on the surface of the internal walls, wherein y ranges from 20 to 80;

wherein the first coating extends over x % of the axial length of the substrate from the inlet end to the outlet end and is disposed on the second coating and on the third coating, wherein x ranges from 95 to 100.

2. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein y ranges from 20 to (100-z).

3. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first coating comprises a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron; wherein the zeolitic material comprised in the first coating has a framework type chosen from AEI, GME, CHA, MFI, BEA, FAU, MOR, a mixture of two or more thereof, and a mixed type of two or more thereof.

4. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first coating comprises a vanadium oxide.

5. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first coating has from 0 weight-% to 0.001 weight-% palladium.

6. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the platinum group metal component of the second coating is one or more of platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

7. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the second coating comprises the platinum group metal component at a loading, calculated as elemental platinum group metal, ranging from 0.3 g/ft3 to 10 g/ft3;

wherein the second coating comprises the platinum group metal component at an amount ranging from 0.1 weight-% to 2 weight, based on the weight of the non-zeolitic oxidic material of the second coating.

8. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the non-zeolitic oxidic material onto which the platinum group metal component of the second coating is supported comprises one or more of alumina, zirconia, titania, silica, ceria, and a mixed oxide comprising two or more of Al, Zr, Ti, Si, and Ce; and

wherein the second coating comprises the non-zeolitic oxidic material at a loading ranging from 0.1 g/in 3 to 3 g/in 3 .

9. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the second coating comprises a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron; wherein the zeolitic material of the second coating has a framework type chosen from AEI, GME, CHA, MFI, BEA, FAU, MOR, a mixture of two or more thereof, and a mixed type of two or more thereof.

10. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the second coating and the third coating together have a platinum group metal component loading in the catalyst, calculated as elemental platinum group metal, ranging from 1 g/ft3 to 40 g/ft3.

11. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the platinum group metal component of the third coating is one or more of platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

12. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the oxidic material supporting the platinum group metal component of the third coating comprises one or more of alumina, zirconia, titania, silica, ceria, and a mixed oxide comprising two or more of Al, Zr, Ti, Si, and Ce;

wherein from 90 weight-% to 100 weight-% of the oxidic material of the third coating is titania.

13. An exhaust gas treatment system for treating an exhaust gas stream exiting an internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas treatment system having an upstream end for introducing the exhaust gas stream into the exhaust gas treatment system, wherein the exhaust gas treatment system comprises the catalyst according to claim 1 and one or more of a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, an ammonia oxidation catalyst, and a diesel particulate filter.

14. A method for preparing a catalyst for the oxidation of NO, for the oxidation of ammonia, and for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx comprising:

(a) providing an uncoated flow-through substrate, the substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, and a plurality of passages defined by internal walls of the substrate extending therethrough, wherein an interface between the plurality of passages and the internal walls is defined by [the] a surface of the internal walls;

(b) providing a slurry comprising a platinum group metal component, an oxidic material, and a solvent, disposing the slurry on the surface of the internal walls of the substrate, over z % of the substrate axial length from the outlet end to the inlet end, wherein z ranges from 20 to 80, calcining the slurry disposed on the substrate, obtaining a third coating disposed on the substrate;

(c) providing a slurry comprising a platinum group metal component, a non-zeolitic oxidic material and one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron, and a solvent, disposing the slurry on the surface of the internal walls over y % of the substrate axial length from the inlet end to the outlet end, wherein y ranges from 20 to 80, calcining the slurry disposed on the substrate, obtaining a second coating disposed on the substrate; and
