An active metal, particularly cesium, impregnated hydrocarbon adsorbent, such as zeolite, comprises an improved hydrocarbon trap/oxidizing catalyst for use in effectively adsorbing hydrocarbons during automotive cold-start and subsequently desorbing, oxidizing and removing hydrocarbons during warmer operating conditions. The active metal modified hydrocarbon adsorbent may be combined in other forms of multi-layer automotive exhaust gas catalytic structures. |
