Diesel oxidation catalyst and exhaust system
Abstract
An oxidation catalyst for treating an exhaust gas from a diesel engine and an exhaust system comprising the oxidation catalyst are described. The oxidation catalyst comprises: a first washcoat region for oxidising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs), wherein the first washcoat region comprises a first platinum group metal (PGM) and a first support material; a second washcoat region for oxidising nitric oxide (NO), wherein the second washcoat region comprises platinum (Pt), manganese (Mn) and a second support material; and a substrate having an inlet end and an outlet end; wherein the second washcoat region is arranged to contact the exhaust gas at the outlet end of the substrate and after contact of the exhaust gas with the first washcoat region.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An oxidation catalyst for treating an exhaust gas from a diesel engine, which comprises:
a first washcoat layer for oxidising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs), wherein the first washcoat layer comprises a first platinum group metal (PGM) and a first support material; a second washcoat layer for oxidising nitric oxide (NO), wherein the second washcoat layer comprises platinum (Pt) and manganese (Mn) disposed or supported on a second support material, wherein the second support material comprises a refractory metal oxide; and a substrate having an inlet end and an outlet end, and wherein the second washcoat layer is disposed on the first washcoat layer.
2 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the second washcoat layer comprises platinum (Pt) as the only platinum group metal.
3 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the second support material comprises a refractory metal oxide selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, ceria and a mixed or composite oxide of two or more thereof.
4 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 3 , wherein the second support material comprises alumina doped with silica.
5 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the first platinum group metal (PGM) is selected from the group consisting of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and a combination thereof.
6 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the first support material comprises a refractory metal oxide selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, ceria and a mixed or composite oxide of two or more thereof.
