Ammonia oxidation catalyst having low N₂O by-product formation

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalytic composition comprising a noble metal on an acidic tungsten-containing mixed oxide, a method for producing the catalytic composition and the use of the catalytic composition as oxidation catalyst. The invention further relates to a catalyst shaped body, which has the catalytic composition on a support, a washcoat containing the catalytic composition according to the invention and the use of the washcoat to produce a coated catalyst shaped body.

主权项

1. A process for treating an exhaust gas, comprising the step of contacting the exhaust gas with an oxidation catalyst comprising a catalytic composition comprising a noble metal on an acidic tungsten-containing mixed oxide, wherein the acidic tungsten-containing mixed oxide is a Ce/Zr/W mixed oxide and wherein the mixed oxide has a tungsten content of from 5 to 10 wt.-%, relative to the total mixed oxide, wherein the exhaust gas is contacted with an SCR catalyst upstream of the oxidation catalyst, and wherein the oxidation catalyst provides a high selectivity for ammonia oxidation.
