• the washcoat of first catalytic region was coated from the inlet end face of a ceramic substrate (400 cpsi, 4.3 mil wall thickness) using standard coating procedures with coating depth targeted of 50% of the substrate length.
• Second Catalytic Region As described in Catalyst Article 2. The catalyst article was dried at 100 °C and calcined at 500 °C for 45 mins.
• Catalyst Article 8 A catalyst with two catalytic regions were prepared. (E.g., see FIG. 2a).
• First Catalytic Region The first catalytic region consists of Cu, which supported on an AEI type of zeolite with SAR range ⁇ 20 and binder, the total washcoat loading of this catalytic region was about 2.2 g/in3 with Cu loading of about 3.8 wt.% (based on the weight of AEI).
• the washcoat of first catalytic region was coated from the inlet end face of a ceramic substrate (400 cpsi, 4.3 mil wall thickness) using standard coating procedures with coating depth targeted of 50% of the substrate length. Second Catalytic Region As described in Catalyst Article 2.
• the catalyst article was dried at 100 °C and calcined at 500 °C for 45 mins.
• Catalyst Article 9 A catalyst with two catalytic regions were prepared. (E.g., see FIG. 2a).
• First Catalytic Region The first catalytic region consists of Cu, which supported on an AEI type of zeolite with SAR range ⁇ 20 and binder, the total washcoat loading of this catalytic region was about 2.8 g/in3 with Cu loading of about 3.8 wt.% (based on the weight of AEI).
• the washcoat of first catalytic region was coated from the inlet end face of a ceramic substrate (400 cpsi, 4.3 mil wall thickness) using standard coating procedures with coating depth targeted of 50% of the substrate length.
• Catalyst Article 2 The catalyst article was dried at 100 °C and calcined at 500 °C for 45 mins. Catalyst performance testing was carried out with a synthetic exhaust gas and Catalyst samples were aged at 800 °C for 10 hours in an 10% water, 5% O2, balance N2.
• NH3 storage test A catalyst sample was heated to 150 °C and a gas feed of 400 ppm of NH3, 10% water, balance N2. The space velocity was 110k h-1. The total amount of NH3 stored at the point the catalyst was saturated with NH3 was recorded.
• NH3 oxidation test The catalyst sample saturated with NH 3 was heated from 100 °C to 500 °C at 50 °C per minute with a gas mixture of 300 ppm NH3, 0.5% O2, 300 ppm NO, balance N2. The temperature at which NH 3 conversion reached 50% was recorded.
• the catalyst performance results from TWC-2, Catalyst Articles 1-9 are shown in Table 9.
• the ammonia storage capacities of Catalyst Articles 1-4 are comparable and significantly higher than the TWC-2 technology.
• Catalyst Articles 6-9 show increasing Cu zeolite loading increases the amount of ammonia storage.
• the NH3 oxidation light off for Catalyst Articles 1-9 are significantly lower than TWC-2.
• the final RDE emission value is the sum of emissions divided by the distance driven.
• the vehicle used was a Euro 6d full certified vehicle with a 1.5 L turbo charged direct injection engine.
• the catalyst system was aged to represent end of useful life using a fuel cut aging cycle with a target inlet temperature for TWC-1 of 950 °C for 60 hours.
• the temperature of the catalysts downstream of TWC-1 during this aging was 830 °C.
• the emission results on a gasoline vehicle under RDE cycle toward Comparative System 1 and Comparative System 2 were shown in Table 10. The results exhibited that NH 3 emission of Comparative Catalyst Systems 1 and 2 both failed to meet the anticipated European Light Duty NH3 requirement of 10 mg/km.
• Comparative Systems 1 and 2 using typical catalysts in gasoline applications, does not work for NH 3 emission requirements.
• the addition of Catalyst Article 2 of the present invention to System 3 (shown in Table 10) is effective at controlling NH3 emissions to below the anticipated European requirement for light duty vehicles.
