Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a catalytic wall-flow filter suitable for use in vehicle emission treatment systems, particularly in the emission treatment systems of forced ignition internal combustion engines (such as gasoline spark-ignition engines). The catalytic wall-flow filter is effective in reducing HC, CO, NOx, and particulate matter emissions. Background Technology
[0002] A gasoline particulate filter (GPF) is an emissions aftertreatment technology developed to control particulate emissions from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines.
[0003] Driven by CO2 and / or fuel economy requirements, the number of GDI vehicles is steadily increasing. It is estimated that 60% of new gasoline vehicles in Europe in 2016 were GDI models. In North America, the proportion of GDI vehicles is also rapidly increasing—within nine years of its initial large-scale market adoption, its penetration rate in the United States has climbed to 48.5% of new light-duty vehicle sales. As the GDI vehicle fleet grows, its emissions raise public health concerns and are a potential major source of particulate pollution in densely populated urban areas.
[0004] Early GPF applications included uncoated GPFs positioned downstream of three-way catalytic converters (TWC). As technology matured, GPFs were also coated with three-way catalysts. This catalyst-coated GPF configuration is sometimes referred to as a four-way catalytic converter. See, for example, US10,625,243B2, US 2020 / 0353410A1, US2019 / 0168162A1, and US2009 / 0193796A1. However, combining TWC coatings with the filter body introduces additional challenges, such as excessive back pressure and requirements for minimum CO, NOx, and HC conversion characteristics. Furthermore, cost must be considered to achieve an optimal balance between performance and cost.
[0005] Three-way catalytic converters are designed to catalyze three simultaneous reactions: (i) the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, (ii) the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water; and (iii) the reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen. These three reactions occur most efficiently when the TWC receives exhaust gases from an engine operating at or near its stoichiometric point. As is well known in the art, the amounts of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides emitted when gasoline fuel is burned in a forced-ignition (e.g., spark-ignition) internal combustion engine are primarily influenced by the air-fuel ratio in the combustion cylinder. Exhaust gases with a stoichiometric equilibrium composition consist of oxidized gases (NO...) xThe concentrations of O2 and reducing gases (HC and CO) in the exhaust gas are essentially matched. The air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas composition that produces this stoichiometric equilibrium is typically 14.7:1.
[0006] The active components in a typical TWC include one or both of the following: platinum and palladium bonded to rhodium supported on a high surface area oxide, and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) materials.
[0007] In theory, it should be possible to achieve stoichiometric balance of O2 and NO in the waste gas composition. x The complete conversion of CO and HC into CO2, H2O, and N2 (as well as residual O2) is the task of TWC. Therefore, ideally, the engine should operate in a way that produces an exhaust gas composition that achieves stoichiometric equilibrium between the air and fuel ratio of the combustion mixture.
[0008] The compositional balance between oxidizing and reducing gases in exhaust gas is defined by the λ value of the exhaust gas, which can be defined according to the following formula:
[0009] λ = (Actual engine air-fuel ratio) / (Stoichiometric air-fuel ratio)
[0010] Wherein, a value of λ = 1 indicates a stoichiometric (or stoichiometric) exhaust gas composition, where a value > 1 indicates an excess of O2 and NOx and the composition is described as "lean," and where a value < 1 indicates an excess of HC and CO and the composition is described as "rich." In the art, the air-fuel ratio during engine operation is also commonly referred to as "stoichiometric," "lean," or "rich," depending on the exhaust gas composition produced by the air-fuel ratio.
[0011] It should be understood that when the exhaust gas composition is stoichiometric or lean, TWC is used to reduce NO. xThe efficiency of reducing to N2 is low. Similarly, when the exhaust gas composition is rich, the TWC's ability to oxidize CO and HC is low. Therefore, the challenge is to keep the composition of the exhaust gas flowing into the TWC as close as possible to the stoichiometric composition. Of course, when the engine is in steady state, it is relatively easy to ensure that the air-fuel ratio is stoichiometric. However, when the engine is used to propel the vehicle, the amount of fuel required changes instantaneously according to the load demand applied to the engine by the driver. This makes controlling the air-fuel ratio to produce stoichiometric exhaust gas for the three-way conversion particularly difficult. In practice, the air-fuel ratio is controlled by the engine control unit, which receives information about the exhaust gas composition from the exhaust oxygen (EGO) (or λ) sensor: a so-called closed-loop feedback system. This system is characterized by the air-fuel ratio oscillating (or perturbing) between a slightly rich and slightly lean point of stoichiometry (or control setting) due to the time lag associated with adjusting the air-fuel ratio. This perturbation is characterized by the amplitude and response frequency (Hz) of the air-fuel ratio.
[0012] When the exhaust gas composition is slightly richer than the set value, a small amount of oxygen is needed to consume unreacted CO and HC, i.e., to bring the reaction closer to stoichiometry. Conversely, when the exhaust gas becomes slightly leaner, an excess of oxygen is required. This is achieved by developing OSC materials that release or absorb oxygen during disturbances. Commonly used OSC materials in modern TWC are cerium oxides or cerium-containing mixed oxides, such as CeZr mixed oxides.
[0013] There is a need to develop technologies that can effectively convert CO, NOx, and HC and reduce particulate matter in exhaust gases from gasoline engines. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The first OSC material and the second OSC material may be the same or different. The first OSC material and the second OSC material may each be cerium dioxide or a mixed oxide comprising cerium dioxide. Preferably, the first OSC material and the second OSC material each comprise a mixed oxide of cerium and zirconium; a mixed oxide of cerium, zirconium, and aluminum; a mixed oxide of cerium, zirconium, and neodymium; or a mixed oxide of cerium, zirconium, and praseodymium.

[0044] The amount of OSC material in the first or second TWC coating can be from 5% to 90% by weight, preferably from 10% to 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the coating.
[0045] In some embodiments, each of the first OSC material and the second OSC material independently comprises an OSC derived from a CeZr mixed oxide sol with a D90 of less than 1.3 micrometers. The CeZr mixed oxide sol comprises CeZr mixed oxides (CeZr mixed oxide particles or CeZr mixed oxide nanoparticles) dispersed in an aqueous medium.
[0046] Particle size distribution can be characterized by D10, D50, and D90 measurements. In each case, this number represents the percentage of particles smaller than the stated value. In other words, a D90 of 100 micrometers means that 90% of the particles have a diameter less than 100 micrometers. By understanding D10 and D90, the range of particles in the particle distribution can be defined. Characterizing the particle size of a sample through its D10 and D90 values typically defines the width of the particle size distribution. The closer these values are, the narrower the particle size distribution.
[0047] The particle size measurements necessary to obtain the D10, D50, and D90 values for CeZr mixed oxide sols and / or particulate inorganic oxides can be obtained using laser diffraction particle size analysis with a Malvern Mastersizer 3000, a volume-based technique (i.e., D50 and D90 can also be referred to as D...). V 50 and D V The particle size distribution is determined by applying a mathematical Mie theory model (or D(v, 0.50) and D(v, 0.90)). The laser diffraction system works by determining the particle diameter based on a spherical approximation.

The Z-mean originates from cumulative analysis of the correlation curves of the measurements, where individual particle sizes are assumed and a single exponential fit is applied to the autocorrelation function. The particle size measurements necessary to obtain the Z-mean particle size of CeZr mixed oxide sols can be obtained by dynamic light scattering particle size analysis using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano. All tests were performed in a diluted aqueous medium, where the harmonic mean hydrodynamic diameter of the spheres with equivalent diffusivity was determined by cumulative analysis of the time dependence of light scattered by randomly moving particles according to the Stokes-Einstein Equation.
[0052] The Z-average particle size of the CeZr mixed oxide sol is preferably between 150 nm and 350 nm, and more preferably between 230 nm and 310 nm.

The first and second inorganic oxide supports may each be selected from the group consisting of alumina, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and mixed or composite oxides thereof.

The first TWC coating is applied from a first side (inlet side). The second TWC coating is applied from a second side (outlet side). Preferably, the second TWC coating is applied from the second side (outlet side) before the first TWC coating is applied from the first side (inlet side) of the wall-flow filter substrate.
[0061] After applying one or both of the first and second TWC coatings to the wall-flow filter substrate, it is preferable to dry and / or calcine the wall-flow filter substrate containing one coating before applying the other coating.
