Abstract

Provided is a catalyst for the selective reduction of NOx comprising a two molecular sieve materials having a CHA structure, wherein the first molecular sieve has a mean crystal size of about 0.01 to 1 μm and the second molecular sieve has a mean crystal size of about 1-5 μm, and wherein the first molecular sieve contains a first extra-framework metal, the second molecular sieve contains a second extra-framework metal, and wherein said first and second extra-framework metals are independently selected from the group consisting of cesium, copper, nickel, zinc, iron, tin, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, bismuth, titanium, zirconium, antimony, manganese, chromium, vanadium, niobium, and combinations thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A catalyst composition comprising a blend of two molecular sieve materials having a CHA structure, wherein the first molecular sieve has a mean crystal size of about 0.01 to 1 μm and the second molecular sieve has a mean crystal size of about 1-5 μm, and wherein the first molecular sieve contains a first extra-framework metal, the second molecular sieve contains a second extra-framework metal, and wherein said first and second extra-framework metals are independently selected from the group consisting of cesium, copper, nickel, zinc, iron, tin, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, bismuth, titanium, zirconium, antimony, manganese, chromium, vanadium, niobium, and combinations thereof.

2. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the two molecular sieve materials are aluminosilicates.

3. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first molecular sieve material is an aluminosilicates and the second molecular sieve material is a silicoaluminophosphate.

4. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein said first and second exchanged metals are independently selected from the group consisting of copper and iron.

5. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein said first and second exchanged metals are copper.

6. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first molecular sieve has a silica-to-alumina ratio of about 10 to 25 and the second molecular sieve has a silica-to-alumina ratio of about 20 to 25.

7. The catalyst of claim 1 comprising a blend of the first molecular sieve and the second molecular sieve.

8. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first molecular sieve and the second molecular sieve is an extrudate.

9. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first extra-framework metal is present in an amount of about 1 to about 5 wt % based on the total weight of the molecular sieve, and the second extra-framework metal is present in amount sufficient to achieve a weight ratio of the first extra-framework metal and the second extra-framework metal of about 0.4:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0.

10. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the first molecular sieve and the second molecular sieve are present in a mole ratio of about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0.
