Optimization of Zero-PGM washcoat and overcoat loadings on metallic substrate

摘要

The present disclosure refers to a plurality of process employed for optimization of Zero-PGM washcoat and overcoat loadings on metallic substrates. According to an embodiment a substantial increase in conversion of HC and CO may be achieved by optimizing the total washcoat and overcoat loadings of the catalyst. According to another embodiment, the present disclosure may provide solutions to determine the optimum total washcoat and overcoat loadings for minimizing washcoat adhesion loss. As a result, may increase the conversion of HC and CO from discharge of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, optimizing performance of Zero-PGM catalyst systems.

1. A method for optimizing a catalytic system, comprising: providing a catalyst system, comprising:
a substrate; a washcoat suitable for deposition on the substrate, comprising at least one first oxide solid comprising alumina and at least one first zero platinum group catalyst comprising silver; and an overcoat suitable for deposition on the substrate, comprising at least one second oxide solid selected from the group consisting of a carrier material oxide, at least one second zero platinum group catalyst comprising one selected from the group consisting of copper oxide, ceria, and combinations thereof; wherein the amount of the washcoat loading is about 120 g/L and the amount of the overcoat loading is about 100 g/L.
