Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exhaust system for a diesel engine, which system comprising a first nitrogen oxide (NO x )-trap comprising at least one first NO x absorbent and platinum.
  • a first nitrogen oxide (NO x )-trap comprising at least one first NO x absorbent and platinum.
  • Exhaust gases from compression ignition engines comprise a mixture of pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM) including volatile and soluble organic fractions (VOF and SOF respectively).
  • the NO x component can comprise nitrogen monoxide NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ).
  • the level of these pollutants in exhaust gases from internal combustion engines it is permissible to exhaust to atmosphere is regulated by legislation. Such legislation can be met by engine design, engine management and/or exhaust gas after treatment, and typically a combination of all three measures.
  • DOC platinum-based diesel oxidation catalyst
  • Diesel nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions are presently controlled by engine management, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
  • EGR exhaust gas recirculation
  • PM emissions including VOF and SOF are increased.
  • the DOC is used to treat VOF and SOF in order to meet presently legislated limits for PM.
  • Another prior art exhaust system primarily for treating diesel exhaust comprises an oxidation catalyst for oxidising NO in the exhaust gas to NO 2 and a downstream filter for trapping PM.
  • a process for treating diesel PM that uses this arrangement is described in EP 0341382 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,902,487, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the process comprises passing diesel exhaust gas including PM and NO unfiltered over an oxidation catalyst to convert the NO to NO 2 , collecting soot on the filter and combusting the collected soot by reaction with the NO 2 .
  • This technology is commercially available as Johnson Matthey's Continuously Regenerating Trap or CRT®. Combustion of the PM in NO 2 results in CO and NO, with a potential side-reaction leading to the complete reduction of the NO 2 to N 2 as described in SAE 890404.
  • a modern diesel engine produces a relatively high amount of NO x in the form of NO 2 .
  • the exhaust gas is first passed over a platinum oxidation catalyst, the NO 2 can be removed by facile low temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons present in the exhaust gas. This process is known as lean NO x catalysis.
  • the NO x absorbent material can poison the lean NO x activity of the platinum, thereby reducing the conversion efficiency of the process.
  • the oxidation of NO to NO 2 becomes sufficiently rapid for significant quantities of NO 2 to be formed and a conventional platinum containing NO x -trap then starts to become effective.
  • a NO x -trap is purposely designed for absorbing and storing NO x in lean exhaust gases (lambda >1 conditions), and releasing and catalytically reducing the stored NO x in rich exhaust gases (1 >lambda conditions).
  • an oxidation catalyst such as platinum
  • a NO x absorbent for example a compound of an alkali metal e.g.
  • an alkaline earth compound typified by barium oxide or a compound of a rare earth metal, such as lanthamum; and a reduction catalyst, such as rhodium.

  • NO x -trap as a composition comprising a NO x absorbent and at least one catalytic material, such as a platinum group metal.
  • NO x absorbent refers to a material, e.g. alkaline earth metal compound, alkali metal compound or rare earth metal compound, capable of absorbing NO 2 in lean exhaust gas.
  • An oxidation catalyst is purposely designed to provide for the reaction of gaseous components with oxygen, typically in as wide a temperature range as possible, especially at lower temperatures.
  • the catalyst oxidises whenever oxygen is available for reaction in the gas stream
  • Active components of an oxidation catalyst can include platinum, palladium or a base metal active for oxidation such as manganese, copper, molybdenum, cobalt or any other transition element that is active for oxidation.
  • An oxygen storage component is purposely designed to absorb oxygen from lean exhaust gases and to release oxygen in rich exhaust gas conditions.
  • suitable OSC include ceria doped with transition metals, e.g. zirconium, or other rare earth metals and manganese-based materials.
  • Our WO 02/18753 (incorporated herein by reference) describes an exhaust system for a lean-burn internal combustion engine, including a diesel engine, comprising an oxidation catalyst upstream of a NO x -trap for oxidising relatively large amounts of unburned hydrocarbons present in exhaust gas in normal lean-running conditions and for oxidising NO in the exhaust gas to NO 2 in lean-running conditions.

  • a further advantage of this system over the above-mentioned prior art system is that the system of the invention generates less N 2 O by lean NO x catalysis over the platinum component of the first NO x -trap.
  • An aspect of the present invention is the concept of absorbing NO 2 on the second NO x absorbent at relatively low temperature when the downstream first NO x trap is too cool to catalyse the reduction of NO x to N 2 , and thermally releasing the NO x when the first NO x -trap is up to temperature, e.g. >200° C., such as >225° C., >250° C., >275° C. or >300° C.
  • the engine can include an engine control unit (ECU) programmed, in use, intermittently to adjust to the exhaust gas composition to the rich side for regenerating the at least one first NO x absorbent.
  • ECU engine control unit
  • the at least one second NO x -absorbent can be associated with a base metal catalyst, e.g. a manganese compound, a cobalt compound or a copper compound, for oxidising nitrogen monoxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in lean exhaust gas or a non-platinum platinum group metal, such as rhodium or iridium for reducing NO x to N 2 in rich exhaust gas, or other non-platinum PGMs such as palladium, osmium and ruthenium, preferably the at least one second NO x -absorbent is free from components other than the NO x -absorbent and optional support.

  • the NO x -absorbent can comprise the support e.g. ceria per se or alumina per se.
  • compounds according to the invention can be oxides, although they may be present as nitrates, hydroxides or carbonates in exhaust gas containing NO x , CO and H 2 O.
