Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An oxidation catalyst for treating an exhaust gas from a compression ignition engine, which oxidation catalyst comprises: a substrate; a first washcoat region comprising palladium (Pd) and a first support material comprising cerium oxide; and a second washcoat region comprising platinum (Pt) and a second support material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 .- 15 . (canceled) 16 . An oxidation catalyst for treating an exhaust gas from a compression ignition engine, which oxidation catalyst comprises: a substrate; a first washcoat region comprising palladium (Pd) and a first support material comprising cerium oxide; and a second washcoat region comprising platinum (Pt) and a second support material. 17 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the second washcoat region further comprises palladium (Pd). 18 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 17 , wherein the mass of platinum (Pt) is greater than the mass of palladium (Pd) in the second washcoat region. 19 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the second support material comprises a refractory metal oxide. 20 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 19 , wherein the refractory metal oxide is selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, ceria and mixed or composite oxides of two or more thereof. 21 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 20 , wherein the refractory metal oxide is alumina. 22 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the first washcoat region comprises an amount of palladium (Pd) of less than 2% by weight. 23 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 22 , wherein the first washcoat region comprises an amount of palladium (Pd) of 0.25 to 1.9% by weight. 24 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the first washcoat region is a first washcoat zone and the second washcoat region is a second washcoat zone, and wherein the second washcoat zone is disposed or supported on the substrate downstream of the first washcoat zone. 25 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the first washcoat region is a first washcoat layer and the second washcoat region is a second washcoat layer, and wherein the first washcoat layer is disposed or supported on the second washcoat layer. 26 . An oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , wherein the second washcoat region comprises an amount of platinum (Pt) of 0.2 to 15% by weight. 27 . An exhaust system comprising an oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 , and an emissions control device. 28 . A method of modulating the content of NOx in an exhaust gas from a compression ignition engine for an emissions control device, which method comprises: (a) controlling the NOx content of an exhaust gas by contacting the exhaust gas with an oxidation catalyst according to claim 16 to produce a treated exhaust gas; and (b) passing the treated exhaust gas to an emissions control device.
