The present invention relates to a particulate filter, a
gasoline engine emission
treatment system comprising the particulate filter, and a method for treating
exhaust gas from a
gasoline engine wherein the particulate filter comprises: a substrate comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending porous walls, a plurality of parallel channels extending from the inlet end to the outlet end are formed, a number of the channels are inlet channels open at the inlet end and closed at the outlet end, and a number of the channels are outlet channels closed at the inlet end and open at the outlet end; an in-wall TWC
coating in the
inlet channel and the outlet channel, the in-wall TWC
coating comprising a
platinum group
metal component, an
alumina-based
refractory metal oxide, and an
oxygen storage component wherein the weight ratio of the
alumina-based
refractory metal oxide to the
oxygen storage component of the in-wall TWC
coating is in the range of 1: 20 to 1: 3, and wherein the in-wall TWC coating does not contain any separate
zirconium and
barium species; and optionally, a layer of
inorganic particles on walls in the
inlet channel and / or the outlet channel wherein the
inorganic particles comprise one or more non-PGM components, the one or more non-PGM components are selected from
alumina, zirconia, ceria, silica, titania,
magnesium oxide,
manganese oxide,
zinc oxide,
rare earth oxides other than ceria, or any composite oxides thereof.
