The present disclosure is directed to a system for treating an exhaust gas stream from an engine, which includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) located downstream of the engine and adapted for oxidation of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, an injector adapted for the addition of a reductant to the exhaust gas stream located downstream of the DOC, a catalyzed soot filter (CSF) located downstream of the injector, and a selective catalytic reduction component adapted for the oxidation of nitrogen oxides located downstream of the CSF. The CSF is adapted for oxidizing hydrocarbons and includes a selective oxidation catalyst composition on a filter with high selectivity ratio for hydrocarbon oxidation:ammonia oxidation (e.g., at least 0.6).

The present disclosure provides catalyst compositions and catalytic articles capable of storing and/or reducing nitrogen oxide (NO.sub.x) emissions in engine exhaust, catalyst articles coated with such compositions, and processes for preparing such catalyst compositions and articles. The catalyst compositions include copper and palladium co-exchanged zeolites. Further provided is a process for preparing such co-exchanged zeolites, an exhaust gas treatment system including the catalytic articles disclosed herein, and methods for reducing NO in an exhaust gas stream using such catalytic articles and systems.

An exhaust gas heating element comprises a wafer that is substantially cylindrical with an axis and is made of metallic foam. A flexible, electrical insulating sheet covers an edge of the wafer with an overlap on each face of the wafer. A rigid assembly ring, a housing, and two electrodes are also provided. The rigid assembly ring is made from a cylinder trunk, at least a first edge of which is serrated in such a way as to be able to immobilize the wafer and the flexible, electrical insulating sheet in the rigid assembly ring by folding teeth, substantially at 90°.

An exhaust gas control system according to the present disclosure includes: a first exhaust gas control catalyst layer that controls an exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine; and a second exhaust gas control catalyst layer that further controls the exhaust gas that has been controlled by the first exhaust gas control catalyst layer. The second exhaust gas control catalyst layer contains an oxygen storage material. The ratio of the amount (mmol—CO.sub.2/m.sup.2) of base points per specific surface area (m.sup.2/g) of the oxygen storage material to the specific surface area is equal to or less than 4.50×10.sup.−5.

Various methods and systems are provided for controlling air flow through an engine by adjusting an electric turbocharger of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a system for a vehicle comprises an electric turbocharger comprising a compressor, an exhaust turbine coupled to the compressor via a shaft, and an electric machine mechanically coupled to the shaft; and a controller including a processor and instructions stored on a non-transient memory of the controller that, when executed, cause the controller to: adjust an amount of power provided to or extracted from the shaft by the electric machine based on at least one of a speed of the electric turbocharger, a cylinder pressure, and an exhaust gas temperature. By adjusting the amount of power provided to or extracted from the electric machine, the exhaust gas temperature and the speed of the electric turbocharger may be efficiently maintained within a desired operating range.

A passive NOx absorber for treating an exhaust gas from a diesel engine is described. The passive NOx absorber comprises a first washcoat region comprising a zeolite catalyst, the zeolite catalyst comprising a noble metal and a zeolite having a SAR of 2-15.

The present disclosure describes methods for evaluating ammonia storage capacity of a close-coupled SCR unit while remaining compliant with prescribed emissions limits, methods of controlling an emission aftertreatment system including multiple SCR units and emission management systems for a vehicle including an internal combustion engine and an emission aftertreatment system that includes two or more SCR units.

Separation of carbon dioxide from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine, the production of hydrogen from water, and reformation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into relatively high-octane fuel components.

A CO.sub.2 recovery system used in a vehicle includes a CO.sub.2 recovery device recovering CO.sub.2 contained in inflowing gas; and a flow rate control device controlling flow rates of gases present in a plurality of different regions of the vehicle flowing into the CO.sub.2 recovery device. The gases present at the plurality of different regions include at least any two among air at an outside of the vehicle, air at an inside of the vehicle, and exhaust gas discharged from a body of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle.

When the porous ceramic structure contains Co together with Fe or Mn, the Co content is higher than or equal to 0.1 mass % and lower than or equal to 3.0 mass % in terms of Co.sub.3O.sub.4, and when the porous ceramic structure contains Co without containing Fe and Mn, the Co content is higher than or equal to 0.2 mass % and lower than or equal to 6.0 mass % in terms of Co.sub.3O.sub.4. The ratio of the sum of the Fe content in terms of Fe.sub.2O.sub.3, the Mn content in terms of Mn.sub.2O.sub.3, and the Co content in terms of Co.sub.3O.sub.4 to the Ce content in terms of CeO.sub.2 is higher than or equal to 0.8 and lower than or equal to 9.5.
