Abstract
The invention relates to a particulate filter which comprises a wall flow filter of length L and two different catalytically active coatings Y and Z, wherein the wall flow filter comprises channels E and A that extend in parallel between a first and a second end of the wall flow filter and are separated by porous walls which form surfaces OE and OA, respectively, and the channels E are closed at the second end and the channels A are closed at the first end. The invention is characterised in that the coating Y is located in the channels E on the surfaces OE and the coating Z is located in the channels A on the surfaces OA.

Particulate filter which comprises a wall flow filter of length L and two different coatings Y and Z, wherein the wall flow filter comprises channels E and A that extend in parallel between a first and a second end of the wall flow filter and are separated by porous walls which form surfaces OF and OA, respectively, and wherein the channels E are closed at the second end and the channels A are closed at the first end,
- characterized in that
- coating Y is located in channels E on the surfaces OF and extends from the first end of the wall flow filter over 55 to 90% of the length L and contains aluminum oxide in an amount of 35 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the coating Y, palladium, rhodium or palladium and rhodium and one or more oxygen storage components in an amount of 40 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the coating Y, and
- coating Z is located in the channels A on the surfaces OA and extends from the second end of the wall flow filter over 55 to 90% of the length L and contains aluminum oxide in an amount of 30 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the coating, palladium or palladium and rhodium and one or more oxygen storage components in a total amount of 50 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the coating Z.
