Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for the catalytic treatment of gas having a casing and a catalytic article within the casing wherein the catalytic article comprises a ceramic honeycomb monolith which hosts a metallic track containing at least one platinum group metal (PGM).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for the catalytic treatment of gas comprising: i. a casing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet; and ii. a ceramic honeycomb monolith having an inlet end, and outlet end, and a plurality of channels through which gas can flow, and a metallic track coating within a trench manufactured by stereolithography or three-dimensional screen printing, wherein the metallic coating contains at least one platinum group metal (PGM), and wherein the metallic coating is hosted on the ceramic honeycomb monolith disposed within the casing. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is suitable for catalyzing the conversion of one or more of the components of the gas. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the conversion involves reduction. 4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the conversion involves oxidation. 5. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the PGM is ruthenium or ruthenium alloy. 6. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the PGM is platinum or platinum alloy. 7. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the metallic track coating comprises metal on an inlet end surface of the monolith. 8. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the metallic track coating comprises metal on an outlet end surface of the monolith. 9. The exhaust gas heater of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a tubular shape. 10. The exhaust gas heater of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a cylindrical shape. 11. A method of treating a gas comprising passing the gas through the apparatus of claim 1 . 12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the gas comprises a hydrocarbon.
