Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A three-way catalyst is disclosed. The three-way catalyst comprises a palladium component comprising palladium and a ceria-zirconia-alumina mixed or composite oxide, and also comprises a rhodium component comprising rhodium and a zirconia-containing material. The palladium component and the rhodium component are coated onto a silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate. The invention also includes an exhaust system comprising the three-way catalyst. The three-way catalyst results in improved hydrocarbon storage and conversion, in particular during the cold start period.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A three-way catalyst comprising: (1) a palladium component comprising palladium and a ceria-zirconia-alumina mixed or composite oxide; and (2) a rhodium component comprising rhodium and a zirconia-containing material, wherein the palladium component and the rhodium component are coated onto a silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate. 2. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the palladium component and the rhodium component are located in the same layer. 3. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the palladium component and the rhodium component are located in different layers. 4. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the zirconia-containing material is a ceria-zirconia mixed or composite oxide. 5. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate is a flow-through substrate. 6. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate is a filter substrate. 7. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate comprises a molecular sieve having a Framework Type selected from the group consisting of ACO, AEI, AEN, AFN, AFT, AFX, ANA, APC, APD, ATT, CDO, CHA, DDR, DFT, EAB, EDI, EPI, ERI, GIS, GOO, IHW, ITE, ITW, LEV, KFI, MER, MON, NSI, OWE, PAU, PHI, RHO, RTH, SAT, SAV, SIV, THO, TSC, UEI, UFI, VNI, YUG, ZON, MFI, FER, MWW, EUO, CON, BEA, FAU, MOR, and EMT. 8. The three-way catalyst of claim 7 wherein the molecular sieve is selected from the group consisting of SAPO-34, SSZ-33, SSZ-13, SSZ-39, beta zeolite, ZSM-5 zeolite, and Y-zeolite. 9. The three-way catalyst of claim 1 wherein the silver-containing extruded molecular sieve substrate comprises from 1 to 700 g/ft 3 silver. 10. A method for treating an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine comprising contacting the exhaust gas with a three-way catalyst of claim 1 .
