Abstract
The present disclosure provides catalyst compositions capable of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in engine exhaust. The catalyst compositions include metal ion-exchanged zeolites having a domain size of less than about 1500 Ångstroms (Å), a crystallographic strain of less than about 0.7%, or both. Further provided are catalyst articles coated with such compositions, processes for preparing such catalyst compositions and articles, an exhaust gas treatment system including such catalytic articles, and methods for reducing NOx in an exhaust gas stream using such catalytic articles and systems.
Claims29
A zeolite material characterized by one or more of the following:
- a. a domain size of greater than 800 Angstroms (Å) and less than about 1500 Å;
- b. a crystallographic strain of less than about 0.7% as determined from the LY parameter from a General Structure Analysis System (GSAS) Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data.
