Definitions

• the invention relates to the field of catalyst substrates made of porous inorganic material for the treatment of exhaust gases, in particular from internal combustion engines, particularly motor vehicles, for example diesel engines.
• These substrates have a honeycomb structure, one of the faces of the structure allowing the admission of the exhaust gas to be treated and the other side the evacuation of the treated exhaust gases, and comprise, between these faces, intake and discharge a set of ducts or adjacent channels axes parallel to each other, separated by porous walls.
• the channels may be alternately closed at one or the other end of the structure so as to allow the filtration of soot or particles contained in the exhaust gas.
• a filtering structure commonly known as a particle filter is thus obtained.
• Some inorganic materials such as for example aluminum titanate (Al 2 TiO 5 ) or cordierite, have up to temperatures of about 800 ° C. a very low thermal expansion. This advantageous characteristic is due to the presence of microcracks in the ceramic grains. During heating, the intrinsic expansion of the material leads first to close the microcracks, but without macroscopic expansion of the substrate. Thanks to this low thermal expansion, it is possible to use substrates or monolithic filters, that is to say made of a single ceramic block.
• Al 2 TiO 5 aluminum titanate
• cordierite cordierite
• US application 2006/183632 thus proposes to passivate the surface of the substrate with the aid of gelatin or copolymers of vinyl alcohol with vinylamines or vinylformamides.
• Crosslinking agents are usually added.
• the passivation layer is then calcined at the same time as the catalytic coating.
• This solution leads to a low affinity of the catalytic coating for the substrate, and therefore reduces the amount of catalyst that can be fixed on the substrate.
• the calcination of crosslinking agents generates gaseous effluents often toxic that must be reprocessed.
• the application DE 10 2007 023120 proposes to deposit silanes which will be converted into silicones by crosslinking. However, the decomposition of silicones during calcination generates a lot of gaseous effluents and creates silica which closes the microcracks, resulting in an increase in the coefficient of thermal expansion.
• the object of the invention is to obviate these various disadvantages by proposing a passivation method that is more respectful of the environment. Another goal of the invention is to obtain a better affinity (before and after calcination) between the substrate or the passivation layer and the catalytic coating that is deposited after the passivation step. An object of the invention is also to limit the increase in the coefficient of macroscopic expansion of the substrate provided with its catalytic coating.
• the subject of the invention is a catalyst substrate made of porous inorganic material for the treatment of exhaust gases, the structure of which is in honeycomb, one of the faces of the structure allowing the admission of the gases of exhaust to be treated and the other face the evacuation of the treated exhaust gases, and comprises, between these intake and discharge faces, a set of adjacent ducts or channels of axes parallel to each other, separated by porous walls, said substrate being coated on at least a portion of its inner surface with at least one vinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer.
• the subject of the invention is also a process for obtaining a porous inorganic material catalyst substrate according to the invention, comprising a step in which a polymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone is deposited on said substrate, followed by a drying step.
• PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone

• This type of coating for example deposited as boehmite, indeed has the disadvantage of infiltrating easily into the microcracks of the substrate.
• Polyvinylpyrrolidone-based polymers have also been found to be better passivating materials than those known from the prior art. Deposited on the substrate before depositing a catalytic coating, they make it possible to limit the increase in the coefficient of thermal expansion due to the infiltration of the catalyst into the microcracks of the ceramic grains of the support.
• the channels are preferably alternately closed at one or the other end so as to allow the filtration of soot or particles contained in the exhaust gas.
• the resulting substrate is then a particulate filter with a catalytic component, allowing for example the removal of pollutants of the type NO x , carbon monoxide (CO) or unburned hydrocarbons (HC).
• the porous inorganic material is preferably selected from aluminum titanate, cordierite and mullite. Other materials may also be used, such as silicon carbide or sintered metals.
• aluminum titanate is meant not only the aluminum titanate itself, of the formula Al 2 TiO 5 , but also any material based on aluminum titanate, in particular any material comprising at least one less than 70%, even 80% and even 90% of an aluminum titanate phase, the titanium and aluminum atoms possibly being partially substituted, in particular by silicon, magnesium or zirconium atoms.
• the aluminum titanate may contain a minority phase of the mullite type, as taught in the application WO 2004/011124, or of the feldspar type, as taught in the application EP 1 559 696. Examples of materials are also given in WO 2009/156652, WO 2010/001062, WO 2010/001064, WO 2010/001065 or WO 2010/001066.
• the vinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer is preferably chosen from polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and of vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinylimidazole or copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinylcaprolactam, or any of their mixtures. Preferably, no crosslinking agent is added.
• the substrate according to the invention may also be coated on at least part of its internal surface with at least one silane compound, in particular of the silane type comprising at least one carbon chain which has at least one nucleophilic group.
• This compound is generally deposited at the same time as the polymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone. It allows a better grafting of the polymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone on the porous ceramic substrate.
• silane When adding silane, the alkoxide groups of the latter are hydrolyzed by the hydroxyl groups present on the surface of the substrate and bind to this surface.
• Silanes which comprise at least one carbon chain having at least one nucleophilic group can bind the other end of the grafted silane to the polymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone by reaction with the carbonyl groups thereof.
• the silane comprising at least one carbon chain which has at least one nucleophilic group is in particular of the Nu-Ri-Si- (OR 2) 3 type in which R 1 and R 2 are alkyl radicals and the nucleophilic group Nu can be chosen from the NH 2 groups. , SH, OH.

• weight content in the solution or the dispersion make it possible to adjust the viscosity of the solution or dispersion, and thus the penetration of the polymer in the microcracks of the substrate. It has been observed that for high molar masses, typically of 1,000,000 or more, the The amount of catalytic coating that can subsequently be attached to the substrate decreases substantially.
• the average molar mass of the polymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone is therefore preferably less than 1,000,000 g / mol.

Too high temperatures, especially greater than 180 0 C or 190 0 C, may stiffen the polymer and create mechanical stresses within the substrate, particularly during the deposition of the catalytic coating. It has furthermore been observed that these high drying temperatures have the effect of reducing the amount of catalytic coating that can be subsequently fixed on the substrate.
