Description
OXIDATION CATALYST FOR A
COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to an oxidation catalyst for a compression ignition engine, pai-ticular!y a diesel engine, and its uses. The invention also relates to methods involving the oxidation catalyst. The invention thrther retates to an exhaust system comprising the oxidation catalyst, and to a vehicle comprising the oxidation catalyst or the exhaust system.
BACIKGR.OUNI) TO THE INVENTION Compression ignition engines, such as diesel engines, produce an exhaust emission that generally contains at least four classes of pollutant that are legislated against by inter governmental organisations throughout the world: carbon monoxide (CU), unburned.
iS hydrocarbons (HCs), oxides of nitrogen (N0) and particulate matter (PM). A.s emissions standards thr pennissible emission of pollutants from compression ignition engines, paniculady vehicular engines, become progressively tightened, there is a need to provide improved catalysts and exhaust systems that are able to meet these standards and which are costeffective.
Oxidation catalysts comprising platinum group inetak have been used to treat carbon monoxide (CU) and hydrocarbons (HCs). including the volatile organic fraction WOF) of particulate matter (PM), in exhaust emissions produced by compression ignition engines.
Such catalysts treat carbon monoxide (CU) by oxidising it to carbon dioxide (CU2;, and treat hydrocarbons (H.Cs) by oxidising them to water (1420) and carbon dioxide (CU2).
Sonic platinum group metals, particularly when supported on a refractory oxide, can also promote the oxidation of nitnc oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) it has been found that platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) are each able to oxidise carbon monoxide (CU) and hydrocarbons (HCs) in an exhaust gas from a compression ignition engine. Palladium is generally cheaper than platinum, but is less active toward CO and tiCs (e.g. Pd has a higher lightoff temperature thr CO and tiCs than Pt), Palladium is also more susceptible to poisoning by sulffir in fuel compared to platinum. 1-lowever,
I
p1atinumhased oxidation catalysts have been found to generate nitrous oxide (N20) by reduction of NO (Catalysis Today 26 (1995)1 85206).
Current legislation for regulating engine emissions does not limit nitrous oxide (N*C)) because it is regulated separately as a greenhouse gas (OHO). Nevertheless, it is desirabMe for emissions to contain minimal nitrous oxide (N20). The US Environmental Protection Agency has stated that the impact of 1 pound of nitrous oxide (N20) in warming the atmosphere is over 300 times that of 1 pound of carbon dioxide (C02).
Nitrous oxide (N20) is also an ozonedepkting substance (01)5). It has been estimated that nitrous oxide (N20) molecules stay in the atmosphere for about 120 years before being removed or destroyed.
Typically, an exhaust gas of a compression ignition engine will be treated using an exhaust system where an oxidation catalyst has been combined with at least one other emissions control device, lb general, the emissions control device will not remove any nitrous oxide (N20) generated by the oxidation catalyst, even when the emissions control device receives treated exhaust gas from an outlet of the oxidation catalyst (i.e. the emissions control device is downstream of the oxidation catalyst).
SUMMARY OF ruE INVINT ION

DETAILED DESCRW[ION OF THE INVENTION The oxidation catalyst of the invention has been found to possess excellent CO oxidation activity, especially for compression ignition engines that produce an exhaust gas containing a relatively high concentration of CO. The cata'yst of the invention contains both platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) because the combination of these platinum group metals provides advantageous oxidative activity. For example, platinum can oxidise nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) under certain conditions, which may be advantageous for downstream emissions control devices. It has also been found that the inclusion of platinum in a separate washcoat region to a washcoat region comprising both palladium and cerium oxide can reduce or prevent the generation of nitrous oxide (N20).
The oxidation catalyst of the invention comprises a first washcoat region. The first washcoat region comprises, or consists essentially of, palladium (Pd) and -a first support material compnsmg cerium oxide. The palladium (Pd) is typically disposed or supported on the first support material. For example, the palladium (Pd) can be dispersed on the first support material and/or impregnated into the-*first support material, The palladium is generally disposed directly onto or is directly supported by the first support material (c.g. there is no intervening support material between the palladium and the first support material). It is preferred that the palladium is in direct contact with the cerium oxide (i.e. ceria).
Typicafly. the first support rnateri'ai comprises, or consists essentially o1 ceria (CeO2) or cena-zirconia (CeO2ZrO2), wherein the ceria or ceriazirconia is optionally doped. The ceria-zirconia may be a ceria-zirconia solid solution.
The inclusion of a dopant can thermally siabilise the firsi support material, It is to be understood that any reference to "doped" in this context refers to a material where the bulk or host lattice of the ceria or ceria-zirconia is substitution doped or interstitially doped with a dopant. In some instances, small amounts of the dopant may be present at a surface of the ceria or ceriazirconia, However, most of the dopant will generally be present in the body of the ceria or ceiiazirconis, When the first support materiai comprises ceriazirconia, then typically the ceriazircorna comprises at least 45 % by weight ceria, preferably at least 50 % by weight ceria, more preferably at least 55 % by weight ceria, such as at least 70 % by weight ceria. The ceria-zircon.ia may further comprise a total of ito 15 % by weight, preferably 2 to 12.5 % by weight (e.g. 5 to 10 % by weight), of an oxide or oxides of a second rare earth metal (e.g. the second rare earth metal is not cerium). The second rare earth metal is typically selected from the group consisting of lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr) and combinations thereof.
Generally, the ceria-zirconia consists essentially of 20 to 95 % by weight of ceria and S to % by weight of zirconia (e.g. 50 to 95 °A by weight ceria and S to 50 % by weight zirconia), preferably 35 to 80% by weight of ceria and 20 toGS % by weight zirconia (e.g. 55 to 80 % by weight ceria and 20 to 45 % by weight zirconia), even more preferably 45 to 75 % by weight of ceria and 25 to 55 % by weight zirconia.
When the ceria or ceriazirconia is doped. then the total amount of dopant is 0.1 to S % by weight (i.e. % by weight of the ceria. or the ceria-zirconia). It is preferred that the total amount of dopant is 0,25 to 2.5 % by weight. more preferably 03 to 1.5 % by weight (e.g. about 1 % by weight). Ceria may be doped with one or more dopant selected from the group consisting of zirconium (Zr.), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (is), praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and an oxide thereof C..eria-zirconia may he doped with one or more dopant selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), yttrium (1), lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and an oxide thereof.
It is preferred that the ceria or the ceria-zirconia has a high surface area. Typically. the ceria or the ceria-zirconia has a surface area of 30 to 3(0 m2/g, preferably 60 to 200 m2/g.
The surface area is measured using conventional nitrogen physisorption techniques.
It is preferred that the first support material comprises, or consists essentially of, ceria (CeO2) or ceriazirconia (CcO,ZrO2), which is not doped. The ii clusion of a dopant in the first support material may decrease the catalytic activity of the first washcoat region.
it is preferred that the first support material consists essentially of cain. More preferably, the first support material consists essentially of cain in a microporous thnn or a mesoporous form.
Typically, the first washcoat region comprises an amount of the fir-st support material of 0.1 to 4.5 gin3 (e.g. 0.25 to 4.2 g in3), preferably 0.3 to 3.8 g lilt still more preferably 0.5 to 3.0 girl3, and even more preferably 0.6 to 2.5 g jr:3 (e.g. 0.75 to 2.3 g hI3).
Generally, the first washcoat region comprises an amount of palladium (Pd) of 0.2 to % by weight (e.g. 11.5 to 14% by weight or 12 to IS % by weight), preferably 0.5 to 10% by weight, more preferably 1 to 9% by weight (e.g. 1.5 to 8 % by weight), such as 2 to 7 % by weight (e.g. 4 to 6 % by weight), The % by weight in this context is with reference to the amount of the first support material.
Typically, the first washenat region comprises palladium (Pd) in an amount of 5 to 300 g ft3, more preferably 10 to 250 g ft, such as 20 to 200 g ft3. still more preferably 25 to g fl. and even more preferably 35 to 150 g ft'3 (e.g. 50 to 125 g fl3).
For example. the first washcoat region may comprise palladium (Pd.) in an amount of 50 to 300 g fl', preferably 100 to 275 g fi'', such as 150 to 250 g if3, more preferably 175 to 200 g ft's. in some instances, a relatively high loading of palladium is beneficial (e.g. for CO oxidation activity).
Typical'y. the first washeoat region comprises a ratio by weight of palladium (Pd) to cerium (Ce) of! :1000 to 1:10, preferably 1:500 to 1:15, more preferably 1:250 to 1:25.
It has been found that oxidation catalysts comprising palladium disposed or supported on cerium oxide may possess passive NO adsorher (PNA) activity. The term "passive NO absorber" (PNA) as used herein (and as understood in the art) refers to the ability of a catalyst to (a) absorb NO from an exhaust gas (e.g. from a compression ignition engine)
S
at a first temperature range and (b) release NO at a second temperature range, wherein the second temperature range is higher than the first temperature range (e.g. the midpoint of the second temperature range is higher than the midpoint of the first temperature range). it is preferable that the second temperature range does not overlap with the first S temperature range.
Unlike Mean NO trap catalysts (sometimes referred to as a NO adsorber catalyst (NAC), a [)e NO trap (DNT) catalyst, a NO storage catalyst, a lean NO trap (LW!] or a NO storage/reduction (NSR) catalyst), it is not necessary to alter the proportion of air to reductant (e.g. hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide or hydrogen) in an exhaust gas (e.g. from lean to rich), such as by changing the mode of operation of an engine, to release stored NO from a PNA, PNAs can he used to store NO when exhaust gas teiriperatures are relatively cool, such as shortly after start-up of a compression iwuition engine. NO storage, and generally also NO release, occurs at temperatures that are lower than the 1 5 temperature at which significani oxidation of nüxic oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by platinum occurs.
Normally, PNA activity would he expected to increase as the number of active sites on the catalyst is increased (e.g. by increasing the amount of palladium or the relative amount of palladium to ceria) until other effects that inhibit contact of NO with active sites of the catalyst start to compete or dominate. However, it has unexpectedly been found that exceflent PNA activity can be obtained when the amount of palladium supported on cerium oxide is relatively low. In fact, surprisingMy limited additional benefit (in relation to PNA activity) is obtained when the loading of palladium on the support material (e.g. ceria) is &eater than 2 % by weight. This finding is advantageous because both palladium and cerium oxide are expensive materials, PNA activity can be obtained when the oxidation catalyst has a relatively high loading of the first support maieriai (e.g. ceria or ceriazirconia), particuMarly in relation to the loading of palladium.
The first wasbcoat region preferably comprises an amount of the first support material of 0.5 to 3.5 g in3, more preferably Ito 3.25 g in, still more preferably 1.1 to 3.0 gin3 (e.g. 1.25 to 2.75 g in3 or 1.5 to 2,75 g in'), and even more preferahiy 1.25 to 2.5 girl'3.
The first wasbcoat region may comprise an amount of palladium (Pd) of 0.25 to 4 % by weight (e.g. 0.4 to 3.5 % by weight), preferably 0.5 to 3.0% by weight (e.g. 0.75 to 2.5 % by weight or 1 to 1.75 % by weight), and even more preferably 0.75 to 1.5% by weight.
It is advantageous if the first washcoat region comprises an amount of palladium less than 2 % by weight It is preferred that the first washcoat region comprises an amount of palladium of 0.25 to 1.9% by weight, more preferably 0.4 to 1.8 % by weight, such as 0.5 to 1.75 % by weight, and even more preferably 0.75 to 1.5% by weight.
It is preferable that the first washcoat region comprises a ratio by weight of palladium (Pd) to cerium (Ce) oil:1000 to 1:10, preferably 1:500 to 1:15, more preferably 1:200 to 1:20.

The first washcoat region may comprise 95 % or less of the total weight of palladium in the oxidation catalyst, preferably 80 % or less, more preferably 60 % or less.
A low loading of palladium may be advantageous for passive NO absorber activity or in applications where the oxidation catalyst is a catalytic soot filter (CSF).
More generally, it is possible to modify the activity of the oxidation catalyst by including other metals, such as catalyticaHy active metals, in the first washcoat region, the second washcoat region or in one or more additional waslicoat region(s) (e.g. a third was hcoat region or a birth washcoat region etc.).
For example, the first washcoat region may further comprise a first catalytically active metal selected from the group consisting of platinum (Pt), gold (Au), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), silver (Ag) and a combination of two or more thereof.
If a first catalytically active metal is present in the first washcoat region, then preferably the first catalytically active metal is platinum (Pt) or gold (Au), more preferably the first catalytically active metal is p'atinum (Pt). When the meta] is gold (Au), then the palladium (Pd) and the gold (Au) may he a palladium-gold alloy. Catalysts comprising gold (Au) can be prepared using the method described in WO 2012/120292 by the present Applicant.
When the first wash.coat region comprises a first catalytically active metal, then typically the first washcoat region comprises a total amount of first catalytically active metal of 2 to 150 g if3, more preferably 5 to 125 g &, such as 10 to 110 g if3, still more preferably to 100 g if3, and even more preferably 30 to 75 g ft's (e.g. 40 to 125 g fl'3).
When the first washcoat region comprises a first catalytically active metal, it is preferred that the first washcoa.t region comprises a total molar amount of first catalytically active metal that i.s ess than the molar amount of palladium (Pd). Thus, the first washcoat region comprises a ratio of the total molar amount of palladium (Pd) to the total molar amount of first catayticallv active metal of>!:! (e.g. Pd: M1 of 20:1 to 1.1:1; 10:1 to 1.25:1; 7.5:1 to 2:1; 5:1 to 2.5:1; whereMj represents the first catalytically active metal).
The first washcoat region may further comprise a hydrocarbon adsorbent. I'he hydrocarbon adsorbent may he selected fiom. a zeobte, active charcoal, porous graphite and a combination of two or more thereof It is preferred that the hydrocarbon adsorbent is a zeoiite.
When the first wasficoat region comprises a hydrocarbon adsorbent, then typically th.e total amount of hydrocarbon adsorbent is 005 to 3.00 g in's, particularly 0.10 to 2.00 g in'3, more particularly 0.2 to 0.8 g in.
When the hydrocarbon adsorbent is a zeolite, then preferably the zeolite is a medium pore zeolite (e.g. a zeohte having a maximum ring size of eighi tetrahedral atoms) or a large pore zeolite (e.g. a zeolite having a maxmuum ring size often tetrahedral atoms).
Exampks of suitable zeolites or types of zeolite include faijasite, c!inoptilolite, mordenite, silicalite. ferrierite, zeolite X, zeolite Y, ultrastabie zeolite Y, API zeolite.

The zeolite is preferably ZSM-5, a beta zeolite or a Y zeolite, In general. it is preferred that the first washcoat region does not comprise a zeohte, more preferably the first washcoat region does not comprise a hydrocarbon adsorbent. Thus, the first washeoat region maybe substantiaHy free of hydrocarbon adsorbent or zeolite. If the oxidation catalyst compn ses a hydrocarbon adsorbent, such as a zeolite, then pretèrahiv the second washcoat region and/or a third washcoat region comprises the hydrocarbon adsorbent or zeoiite.

More preferably, the first washcoat region consists essentially of palladium (Pd), the first catalytically active metal and the first support material.
Generally, the first washcoat region does not comprise a first catalytically active metal as described herein (i.e. palladium is the only active metal for catalysis in the first washcoat region). The first support material may, however, include one or more other materials, hut in general such materials are included to stahilise the first support material (e.g. they form part of the bulk composition of the support material) and they are not by themselves catalytically active. Preferably, the first washcoat region is substantially free of or does not comprise platinum. More preferably, the first washcoat region consists essentially of palladium (Pd) and the first support material.
The function of a passive NO adsorber (PNA) is different to a lean NO1 trap catalyst. It is therefore unnecessary to include materials in the oxidation catalyst that function as a NO1 adsorber, Such NO1 adsorber materials store NO1 when th.e exhaust gas is lean and release NO1 when the exhausi gas is rich.
In general, it is preferred that the first washcoat region is substantially free of or does not comprise a NO1 adsorber material fur a lean NO1 trap catalyst. NO1 adsorber materials for a lean NO1 trap catalyst typically comprise an alkali metal (e.g. Li, Na, K), an alkaline earth metal (e.g. Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) and/or a rare earth metal. n
The first washcoat region. typically is substantially free of or does not comprise an alkali metal (e.g. Li, Na, K), an alkaline earth metal (eg. Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba.) and/or a rare earth metal, particularly a rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y) and a combination thereof The general exclusion relating to a rare earth metal does not apply to the ceria or ceriazirconia that is part of the first support material.
Generally, the first washcoat region is substantially free of or does not comprise rhodium (Rh).

The second washeoat region may comprise 50 % or more of the total weight of platinum in the oxidation catalyst, preferably 70% or more, more preferably 90% or more.
In the second washcoat region, platinum may be the only catalytically active metal. Thus, for example, the second washcoat region does not include a second catalytically active metal as defined below.
However, the activity of the oxidation catalyst may be modified by including other metals, such as a second catalytically active metal, in the second washcoat region. Thus, the second washeost region may further comprise a second catalytically active metal selected from the group consisting of palladium (Pd), gold (Au), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), silver (Ag) and a combinaLion of two or more thereof It is preferred that the second catalytically active metal is palladium (Pd).

In the second washcoat region. th.e mass of patinum (Pt) is typically greater than the mass of palladium (Pd.). Advantageous oxid.ative activity may be obtained, when there is more platinum than palladium in the second washcoat region.

Substrates for supporting oxidation catalysts for treating the exhaust gas of a compression ignition engine are well known in the art. The substrate typically has a plurality of channels (e.g. tbr the exhaust gas to flow through). Generally, the substrate is a ceramic material or a metallic material, It is preferred that the substrate is made or composed of cordierite (Si02-.A1203-MgO), silicon carbide (SiC), Fe-Cr-Al alloy, Ni-Cr-Al alloy, or a stainless steel alloy.
Typically, the substrate is a monolith (also referred. to herein a.s a substrate monolith).
Such monoliths are well-known in th.e art, The substrate monolith may he a flow-through monolith or a filtering monolith.
A flow-through monolith typically comprises a honeycomb monolith (e.g. a metal or ceramic honeycomb monolith) having a plurality of channels extending therethrough, which channels are open at both ends. When the substrate is a flow-through monolith.

WEen viewed from either end, the alternately plugged and open ends of the channels take on the appearance of a chessboard.
In principle, the substrate may be of any shape or size. 1-lowever, the shape and size of the substrate is usually selected to optimise exposure of the catalytically active materials in the catalyst to the exhaust gas.

Examples of emissions control devices for use with the oxidation catalyst of the invention or for inclusion in the exhaust system of the invention are provided below.
A diesel particulate filter is an emissions control device having a filtering substrate. The diesel particulate filter preferably comprises a substrate, wherein the substrate is a filtering monolith or a fiowthrough mono.ith as defined above, preferably a filtering monolith. The substrate may be coated with a catalyst formulation.
l'he catalyst formulation of the diese' particulate fi'e may be suitable for oxidising (i) particulate matter (PM) arid/or (ii) carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs).
When the catalyst formulation is suitable for oxidising PM, then the resulting emissions control device is known as a catalysed soot filter (CSF). A catalysed soot filter (CSF) is also an emissions control device having a filtering substrate. Typically, the catalyst formulation of a CSF comprises a noble metal as defined above and/or platinum and/or palladium, The catalyst formulation of the diesel particulate filter maybe a NO adsorher composition. When the catalyst thrmulation is a NO adsorher composition, the emissions control device is an example of a NO adsorber catalyst çNAC). Emissions control devices where the catalyst formulation is a NO adsorher composition have been described (see, for example, EP 0766993). NO adsorher compositions are well known in the art (see, for example. .EP 0766993 and US 5,473,887). NO adsorber compositions are designed to adsorb NO from lean exhaust gas (lambda:>l) and to desert; the NO when the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is decreased, Desorbed NO may then be reduced to N2 with a suitable reductant (eg. engine fuel) and promoted by a catalyst component, such as rhodium, of the NO, adsorber composition itself or located downstream of the NO, adsorber composition.
Generally, a NO, adsorber composition comprises an alkali metal component. an alkaline earth metal component or a rare earth metal component or a combination of two or more components thereof, wherein the rare earth metal component comprises lanthanum or yttrium. It is preferred that the alkali metal component comprises potassium or sodium, more preferably potassIum. ft is preferred that the alkaline earth metal componen.t comprises barium or strontium, more preferably barium.
The NO, adsorber composition may further comprise a support material andior a catalytic metal component. The support material may be selected from alumina, ceria, tilania, zirconia and mixtures thereof. The catalytic metal component may comprise a met& selected from platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh) and combinations of two or more thereof.
Lean NO, catalysts (LNCs) are well known in the art, Preferred lean NO, catalysts (LNC) comprises either (a) platinum (Pt) supported on alumina or (b) a copper exchanged zeolite, particularly copper exchanged ZSM-5.
SCR catalysts are also well known in the art. When the exhaust system of the invention comprises an 8CR catalyst, then the exhaust system may further comprise an injector for injecting a nitrogenous reductant, such as ammonia or urea, into exhaust gas downstream of the catalyst for oxidising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs) and upstream of the 5CR catalyst. ltematively or in addition to the injector, the exhaust system may further comprise an engine management means thr enriching the exhaust gas with hydrocarbons. The 5CR catalyst can then use the hydrocarbons as a reductant to reduce NO,,. When the substrate of the 5CR catalyst is a filtering monolith, then the catalyst is an SCRE catalyst. An SCRF catalyst is an emissions control device having a filtering substrate.
Generally, 8CR. catalysts are unable to reduce substantial amounts of NO in an exhaust gas shortly after startup of a compression ignition engine because the exhaust gas temperature (and hence the temperature of the catalyst) is too low. Lean NO, trap catalysts have, fbr example, been ernpoyed upstream of 8CR catalysts, so that NOfl can be stored until the 8CR catalyst becomes active at higher exhaust gas temperatures.
However, lean NO trap catalysts are often unable to adequately store NO when there is IC) a large mass flow of exhaust gas (e.g. when the engine is operated at a high speed cycle).
The NO content of an exhaust gas directly from a compression ignition engine depends on a number of factors, such as the mode of operation of the engine, the temperature of the engine and the speed at which the engine is run, However, it is common Ibr an engine to produce an exhaust gas where NO content is 85 to 95 % (by volume) nitric oxide (NO) and 5 to 15 % (by volume) nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The NO:NO2 ratio is typically from 19:1 to 17:3. However, it is generally favourable for the NO2 content to be much higher for selective catalytic reduction (8CR) catalysts to reduce NO or to regenerate an emissions control device having a filtering substrate by burning off particulate matter.
The PNA activity of the oxidation catalyst can be used to modulate the NO content of an exhaust gas from a compression ignition engine.
The PNA activity of the oxidation catalyst of the present invention allows NON, particularly NO, to he stored at low exhaust temperatures. At higher exhaust gas temperatures, the oxidation catalyst is able to oxidise NO to NO2. it is therefore advantageous to combine the oxidation catalyst of the invention with certain types of emissions control devices as part of an exhaust system.

The oxidation catalyst of the invention is typically followed by (e.g. is upstream of) the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst. A nitrogenous reductant injector may be arranged between the oxidation catalyst and the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst.

DEHNTK)NS The term "washcoat" is well known in the art and refers to an adherent coating that is applied to a substrate usually during production of a catalyst. The coating or washcoat generally comprises one or more components of a catalyst thrmuiation, which components are typically selected from a platinum coup metal, a support material, an oxygen storage component and a hydrocarbon adsorbent.
The term "washeoat region" as used herein refers to an area of washcoat on a substrate.
A "washcoat region" can, for example, be disposed or supported on a substrate as a layer" or a "zone". The area or anangement of a washcoat on a substrate is generally controlled during the process of applying the washcoat to the substrate. The "washcoat 1 5 region" typically has distinct boundaries or edges (is, it is possible to distinguish one washcoat region from another washeoat region using conventional analytical techniques).
It is preferable that each "washeoat region" has a substantially uniform composition (i.e. there is no substantial difference in the composition of the washcoat when comparing one part of the washcoat region with another part of that washcoat region). Substantially uniform composition in this context refers to a material (eg. washcoat region) where the difthrence in composition when comparing one part of the washcoat region with another part of the washcoat region is 5% or less, usually 2.5% or less, and most commonly 1% or less.

Thus, the midpoint of the washcoat zone ftc. at half its length) is nearer to tile inlet end of the substrate than the midpoint is to the outlet end of the substrate. Similarly, any reference to a "washcoat zone disposed at an outlet end of the substrate" used herein refers to a washcoat zone disposed or supported on a substrate that is nearer to an outlet end of the substrate than it is to an inlet end of Lhe substrate. Thus, the midpoint washcoat zone (i.e. at half its length) is nearer to the outlet end of the substrate than the midpoint is to the inlet end of the substrate.
When the substrate is a wall-flow filter, then generally any reference to a "washeoat zone disposed at an inlet end of the substrate" refers to a washcoat zone disposed. or supported on the substrate that is (a) nearer to an inlet end of an inlet channel of the substrate than it is to a closed end of the inlet channel,and/or (b) nearer to a closed end of an outlet channel of the substrate than it is to an outlet end of the outlet channel. Thus, the midpoint of the washcoat zone (i.e. at half its length) is (a) nearer to an inlet end of an inlet channel of the substrate than the midpoint is to the closed end of the inlet channel, anchor (b) nearer to a closed end of an outlet channel of the substrate than the midpoint is to an outlet end of the outlet channel. Similarly, any reference to a "washcoat zone disposed at an outlet end of the substrate" when the substrate is a wall-flow filter refers to a washcoat zone disposed or supported on the substrate that is (a) nearer to an outlet end of an outlet channel of the substrate than it is to a closed end of the outlet channel, and/or (b) nearer to a closed end of an inlet channel of the substrate than it is to an inlet end of the inlet channel. Thus, the midpoint of the washcoat zone (i.e. at half its length) is (a) nearer to an outlet end of an outlet channel of the substrate than the midpoint is to the closed end of the outlet channel, and/or (b) nearer to a closed end of an inlet channel of the substrate than the midpoint is to an inlet end of the inlet channel.
Any reference to "absorbing NOR" from an exhaust gas as used herein retèrs to the removal of NO from the exhaust gas by storing it in the oxidation catalyst. The storage may he a process of adsorption, but the oxidation catalyst is not limited to storing NO in this specific way.
The term "mixed oxide" as used herein generally refers to a mixture of oxides in a single phase, as i.s conventionally known in the art The term "composite oxide" as used herein generally refers to a composition of oxides having more than one phase, as is conventionally known in the art.
Any reference to a temperature or temperature range, such as the "first temperarure range" or the "second temperature range" as used herein generally refers to the temperature of the exhaust gas, preferahy the temperature of the exhaust gas at an inlet of the oxidation catalyst.
Any reference herein to an amount in units of g ft3 (grams per cubic foot) org irf3 (grains per cubic inch) refer to the mean weight of a component per volume of the substrate and typically includes the volume of the void spaces of the substrate.
The expression "consisting essentially" as used herein limits the scope of a feature to indude the specified materials or steps, and any other materials or steps that do not materially affect the basic characteristics of that feature, such as for example minor impurities. For the avoidance of doubt, the expression "consisting essentially of' embraces the expression "consisting of'.
In the context of platinum (Pt) or palladium (Pd). it is to be appreciated that it is often difficult to characterise the exact catalytic species in a catalyst and the platinum or palladium may not he present in elemental, metallic form. Any reference o "consisting essentially of platinum embraces a "pflatinum component" where the platinum moiety can be an elemental tbrm of platinum, an alloy containing platinum or a compound comprising platinum (eg. an oxide of platinum), preferably an elemental form of platinum or an alloy containing platinum, more preferably an elemental form of platinum.
