Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods of the present invention related to an exhaust gas purification system comprising: (a) a first injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas; (b) a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; (c) a second injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas, located downstream of the filter; and (d) a downstream catalyst comprising a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust gas purification system comprising: a. a first injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas; b. a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; c. a second injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas, located downstream of the filter; and d. a downstream catalyst comprising a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector; wherein the oxidation catalyst is coated on the outlet of the filter. 2. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises one or more platinum group metals. 3. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises platinum, palladium, or combinations thereof. 4. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , wherein the selective catalytic reduction catalyst comprises a metal oxide based SCR catalyst formulation, a molecular sieve based SCR catalyst formulation, or mixtures thereof. 5. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , wherein the downstream catalyst further comprises an ammonia oxidation catalyst. 6. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas entering the downstream catalyst has a NO 2 :NO x ratio of more than 10%. 7. The exhaust gas purification system of claim 1 , further comprising an upstream catalyst located upstream of the filter, the upstream catalyst comprising a diesel oxidation catalyst, a NO x storage catalyst, or combinations thereof. 8. A method of purifying exhaust gas, comprising: a. adding ammonia or a compound decomposable into ammonia into the exhaust gas by a first injector; b. passing the exhaust gas through a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; c. adding ammonia or a compound decomposable into ammonia into the exhaust gas by a second injector, located downstream of the filter; and d. passing the exhaust gas through a downstream catalyst comprising a selective reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector; wherein the oxidation catalyst is coated on the outlet of the filter. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises one or more platinum group metals. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises platinum, palladium, or combinations thereof. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the selective catalytic reduction catalyst comprises a metal oxide based SCR catalyst formulation, a molecular sieve based SCR catalyst formulation, or mixtures thereof. 12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the downstream catalyst further comprises an ammonia oxidation catalyst. 13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the exhaust gas entering the downstream catalyst has a NO 2 :NO x ratio of more than 10%. 14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising an upstream catalyst located upstream of the filter, the upstream catalyst comprising a diesel oxidation catalyst, a NO x storage catalyst, or combinations thereof. 15. An exhaust gas purification system comprising: a. a first injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas; b. a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; c. a second injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas, located downstream of the filter; and d. a downstream catalyst comprising a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector; wherein the downstream catalyst further comprises an ammonia oxidation catalyst. 16. A method of purifying exhaust gas, comprising: a. adding ammonia or a compound decomposable into ammonia into the exhaust gas by a first injector; b. passing the exhaust gas through a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; c. adding ammonia or a compound decomposable into ammonia into the exhaust gas by a second injector, located downstream of the filter; and d. passing the exhaust gas through a downstream catalyst comprising a selective reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector; wherein the downstream catalyst further comprises an ammonia oxidation catalyst.
