Background

Combustion of hydrocarbon-based fuels in engines produces exhaust gases containing a large portion of relatively benign nitrogen (N)₂) Water vapor (H)₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO)₂) But also contain a relatively small proportion of harmful and/or toxic substances, such as carbon monoxide (CO) from incomplete combustion, Hydrocarbons (HC) from unburned fuel, Nitrogen Oxides (NO) from excessive combustion temperatures_x) And particulate matter (primarily soot). In order to reduce the environmental impact of fumes and exhaust gases released into the atmosphere, it is desirable to eliminate or reduce the content of these undesirable components, preferably by a corresponding method that does not produce other harmful or toxic substances.

Exhaust gas from lean-burn gasoline engines typically has a net oxidizing effect due to the high proportion of oxygen provided to ensure adequate combustion of the hydrocarbon fuel. Among the most strenuous components of such gases is NO_xIncluding Nitric Oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO)₂). Reduction of NO_xIs N₂This is particularly troublesome because the exhaust gas contains sufficient oxygen to facilitate the oxidation reaction rather than the reduction. Nevertheless, NO can be reduced by a process commonly referred to as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)_x. The SCR process comprises the conversion of NO in the presence of a catalyst by means of a nitrogenous reductant such as ammonia_xIs elemental nitrogen (N)₂) And water. In the SCR process, a gaseous reductant, such as ammonia, is added to the exhaust gas stream before the exhaust gas contacts the SCR catalyst. The reducing agent is adsorbed on the catalyst and as the gas flows throughGeneration of NO in a substrate with a catalyst_xAnd (4) carrying out reduction reaction. The SCR reaction using the stoichiometry of ammonia is as follows:

4NO+4NH₃+O₂→4N₂+6H₂O

2NO₂+4NH₃+O₂→3N₂+6H₂O

NO+NO₂+2NH₃→2N₂+3H₂O。

NH once they reach their operating temperature (typically 200 ℃ or higher)₃SCR emission control systems are very effective. But these systems are relatively inefficient below their operating temperature (the "cold start" phase). As national and local regulations more severely reduce the amount of pollutants emitted by diesel engines, reducing emissions during the cold start phase becomes a major challenge. Therefore, there is a need to continue to explore NO for reducing emissions during cold start conditions_xAmount of catalyst and process.

Detailed Description

Reducing the NOx emissions of lean-burn diesel engines during cold starts of the engines is important to meet future regulatory requirements. One approach to addressing this challenge may involve configuring a system to take advantage of engine thermal variations to shorten cold start duration. Additionally, exhaust gas recirculation loops may be eliminated from the engine with this treatment system configuration to improve fuel economy and engine power output. One challenge with such system designs is that space may be very limited. Therefore, it may be desirable to combine the SCR/ASC/DOC functions into as compact a space as possible. However, because the minimum temperature for urea decomposition and SCR catalyst activity is about 180-. The catalyst, system and process of the present invention have been found to be effective in not losing NOx conversion and N₂The SCR/ASC/DOC function is combined under selective conditions. In addition, Passive NOx Sorbents (PNAs) have been incorporated into SCR/ASC components, which can further improve low temperature cold start performance.

It has been found that a particular type of PNA provides further benefits to PNA-SCR-ASC tightly coupled systems. Specifically, the catalyst of the present invention may comprise PNA comprising a platinum group metal and a base metal both on a molecular sieve. For example, PNAs may include palladium and copper on a zeolite, or palladium and iron on a zeolite. It has been found that the use of this formulation provides benefits by combining SCR and PNA functions on the same zeolite, thereby reducing washcoat loading and backpressure.

The metal matrix may be made of any suitable material, and in particular heat resistant metals and metal alloys such as titanium and stainless steel and ferritic alloys containing iron, nickel, chromium and/or aluminium in addition to other trace metals.

The flow-through substrate is preferably a flow-through monolith having a honeycomb structure with a plurality of small, parallel, thin-walled channels extending axially through the substrate and through the inlet or outlet of the substrate. The cross-section of the channels of the matrix may be of any shape, but is preferably square, sinusoidal, triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, trapezoidal, circular or elliptical. The flow-through substrate may also have a high porosity to allow the catalyst to penetrate into the substrate walls.

The filtration substrate is preferably a wall-flow monolith filter. The channels of the wall-flow filter are alternately plugged, which allows the exhaust stream to enter the channels from the inlet, then flow through the channel walls, and exit the filter from different channels leading to the outlet. Particulate matter in the exhaust stream is trapped in the filter.

Benefits of

The catalyst articles of the present invention may provide a number of benefits, including advantages over catalyst articles that are generally equivalent but do not include PNAs. The catalyst article of the present invention may allow for the reduction or elimination of EGR loops within the exhaust system, which may be beneficial in improving fuel economy and power output as well as reducing hydrocarbon and particulate matter emissions. Additionally, the catalyst article of the present invention may provide equivalent or near equivalent NO conversion compared to an SCR catalyst when the catalyst article is placed in a close-coupled position behind an engine. Under-injection of NH₃In the case of (a), the catalyst article may provide an equivalent or near equivalent N as compared to the SCR catalyst₂O is formed. In excess of NH₃In the case of (2), the catalyst article of the present invention can provide a significantly reduced N₂O is formed. The catalyst article of the present invention may be said to function as an SCR/DOC catalyst in the event of an under-injection of urea, when NH is in excess₃When present, has a high NH content₃Selective SCR/ASC/DOC action. The catalyst article of the present invention can perform SCR/ASC/DOC functions on a single module, which is particularly desirable when space is limited. Additionally, the catalyst article may provide a rapid response to engine thermal changes, which may be beneficial for NOx conversion during cold start. The catalyst article may provide NOx storage before the urea injection temperature is reached, providing additional cold start NOx control. In some embodiments, the catalyst article may provide HC storage during cold startAnd (4) storing.

Catalyst articles comprising PAN containing a platinum group metal and a base metal both on a molecular sieve can provide benefits other than those listed above. In this catalyst, the SCR and PNA functions are combined on the same molecular sieve support, and thus washcoat loading and backpressure can be reduced. Such catalysts can provide hydrocarbon SCR activity and reduce the temperature differential between the PNA and SCR components.

In some embodiments, the NOx storage capacity of the PNA component may be much lower than that of a structure having an engine → PNA/DOC → filter → SCR/ASC due to the rapid warm-up of the close-coupled catalyst. In some embodiments, because NOx release and conversion occur on the same module, the NOx release temperature of the PNA component can be much lower than that of a structure having engine → PNA/DOC → filter → SCR/ASC.

In some embodiments, optimal benefits can be obtained for a system in which the catalyst of the present invention is the first module when the ammonia to NOx ratio is ≧ 1 and when the temperature of the exhaust stream entering the catalyst article is ≦ 180 ℃. Under such conditions, i.e., the cold start phase, the downstream SCR/ASC may be too cold to be active. Once the system is warmed to make the exhaust gas flow entering the catalyst product be greater than or equal to 180 deg.C, the ratio of ammonia to NOx is more optimum>0.5, allowing the catalyst to convert NOx to a maximum and produce N to a minimum₂And O. Cold start phase with high ammonia to NOx ratio and occasional brief NH₃During a slip stream event, the catalyst article of the present invention may be capable of selectively oxidizing excess NH without a separate/additional ASC component₃Is N₂。
