Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to catalysts which are free of any platinum group metals for reducing emissions of nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and sulfur in exhaust streams.
- Catalysts in catalytic converters have been used to decrease the pollution caused by exhaust from various sources, such as automobiles, utility plants, processing and manufacturing plants, airplanes, trains, all terrain vehicles, boats, mining equipment, and other engine-equipped machines. A common catalyst used in this way is the three-way catalyst (“TWC”). The TWC works by converting carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful compounds or pollutants. Specifically, a TWC works by simultaneously reducing the nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen, oxidizing carbon monoxide to less harmful carbon dioxide, and oxidizing unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. The prior art TWC is made using at least some platinum group metals.

Porosity is substrate dependent as is known in the art. Additionally, the number of channels may vary depending upon the substrate used as is known in the art. The channels found in a monolith substrate are described in more detail below. The type and shape of a suitable substrate would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Preferably, all of the substrates, either metallic or ceramic, offer a three-dimensional support structure.

The surface of the metal substrate may be oxidized at elevated temperatures above about 1000° C. to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy by forming an oxide layer on the surface of the alloy. This oxide layer on the surface of the alloy may also enhance the adherence of a washcoat to the surface of the monolith substrate.
- In one embodiment, the substrate may be a monolithic carrier having a plurality of fine, parallel flow passages extending through the monolith. The passages can be of any suitable cross-sectional shape and/or size. The passages may be, for example without limitation, trapezoidal, rectangular, square, sinusoidal, hexagonal, oval, or circular, although other shapes are also suitable.

Some suitable forms of substrates may include, without limitation, woven filters, particularly woven ceramic fiber filters, wire meshes, disk filters, ceramic honeycomb monoliths, ceramic or metallic foams, wall flow filters, and other suitable filters. Wall flow filters are similar to honeycomb substrates for automobile exhaust gas catalysts. They may differ from the honeycomb substrate that may be used to form normal automobile exhaust gas catalysts in that the channels of the wall flow filter may be alternately plugged at an inlet and an outlet so that the exhaust gas is forced to flow through the porous walls of the wall flow filter while traveling from the inlet to the outlet of the wall flow filter.
- According to an embodiment, at least a portion of the catalyst of the present invention may be placed on the substrate in the form of a washcoat. The oxide solids in the washcoat may be one or more carrier material oxide, one or more catalyst, or a mixture of carrier material oxide(s) and catalyst(s). Carrier material oxides are normally stable at high temperatures (>1000° C.) and under a range of reducing and oxidizing conditions. A preferable oxygen storage material is a mixture of ceria and zirconia; more preferably a mixture of (1) ceria, zirconia, and lanthanum or (2) ceria, zirconia, neodymium, and praseodymium.

The weight percent of the oxygen storage material is on the basis of the oxides.
- Various amounts of any of the washcoats of the present invention may be coupled with a substrate, preferably an amount that covers most of, or all of, the surface area of a substrate. In an embodiment, about 80 g/L to about 250 g/L of a washcoat may be coupled with a substrate.
- In an embodiment, a washcoat may be formed on the substrate by suspending the oxide solids in water to form an aqueous slurry and depositing the aqueous slurry on the substrate as a washcoat.
- Other components may optionally be added to the aqueous slurry. Other components such as acid or base solutions or various salts or organic compounds may be added to the aqueous slurry to adjust the rheology of the slurry and/or enhance binding of the washcoat to the substrate. Some examples of compounds that can be used to adjust the rheology include, but are not limited to, ammonium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, acetic acid, citric acid, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, other tetralkylammonium salts, ammonium acetate, ammonium citrate, glycerol, commercial polymers such as polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol and other suitable polymers.
- The slurry may be placed on the substrate in any suitable manner. For example, without limitation, the substrate may be dipped into the slurry, or the slurry may be sprayed on the substrate. Other methods of depositing the slurry onto the substrate known to those skilled in the art may be used in alternative embodiments. If the substrate is a monolithic carrier with parallel flow passages, the washcoat may be formed on the walls of the passages. Gas flowing through the flow passages can contact the washcoat on the walls of the passages as well as materials that are supported on the washcoat.
- It is believed that the oxygen storage material may improve the rheology of the washcoat slurry. Such an improvement may be seen in process control and/or manufacture of the catalyst system. The enhanced rheology of the washcoat slurry that may be due to the presence of the oxygen storage material may enhance the adhesion of the washcoat slurry to the substrate.
