The present invention relates to a three-way catalyst (TWC) for treatment of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines operated with a predominantly stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, so called spark ignited engines.

A honeycomb body for exhaust gas aftertreatment, having a multiplicity of stacked layers. Flow channels are formed between the layers, which extend along the axial extent of the honeycomb body and are flowed through in the axial direction. The honeycomb body has first structured layers formed by successive wave peaks and wave valleys. Protuberances in the direction of the wave peaks belonging to a respective layer are formed from adjacently arranged wave valleys of a first structured layer. The adjacently arranged protuberances of a first structured layer form a channel-like structure extending in the circumferential direction in the first structured layer into which a second layer is inserted to be is fixed in the axial direction with respect to the first structured layer.

Provided are a novel form of AEI zeolite, a novel synthesis technique for producing pure phase AEI zeolite, a catalyst comprising the AEI zeolite in combination with a metal, and methods of using the same. The AEI aluminosilicate zeolite has a cuboid morphology and a silica-to-alumina ratio of 20 to 50.

An electrically heated catalyst includes a honeycomb structure and is designed to be mounted in an exhaust pipe in which exhaust gas flows. The honeycomb structure exhibits catalytic activities and produce heat upon electrical energization. The honeycomb structure includes a grid portion defining a plurality of cells and an outer peripheral portion which covers an outer periphery of the grid portion. A surface of the grid portion and a surface of the outer peripheral portion are designed to ensure electrical insulation from the exhaust pipe.

A catalytic converter for exhaust gas aftertreatment, with a matrix and a casing, the matrix is formed from a coiled layered stack of metal sheets and is inserted into the casing and bonded thereto only in portions and a method for producing a catalytic converter.

A catalyst material for abatement of exhaust gas emissions from a lean burn engine is provided, the catalyst material including a metal-exchanged SAPO-34 material, and an oxide layer at least partially covering an outside surface of the SAPO-34 material, wherein the oxide layer is not substantially blocking the pores of the SAPO-34 material.

The disclosure is directed to an exhaust gas heating unit for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas heating unit includes at least one electrically conductive heating conductor element, wherein the at least one electrically conductive heating conductor element is configured from bent flat strip material. The exhaust gas system conducts exhaust gas defining an exhaust gas primary flow direction (H). The heating conductor element can have a plurality of broad sides arranged to be substantially parallel to the exhaust gas primary flow direction (H) and a plurality of end faces arranged substantially orthogonally to the exhaust gas primary flow direction (H).

Provided are a novel form of AFX zeolite, a novel synthesis technique for producing pure phase small pore zeolites, a novel synthesis method for producing a zeolite with an increased Al pair content, a catalyst comprising the AFX zeolite in combination with a metal, and methods of using the same.

A diesel engine emissions catalyst which may be used to fill a niche between standard oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filters for control of diesel particulate matter. The catalyst includes a structure (substrate) comprising one or more coated, corrugated micro-expanded metal foil layers. The coated surface may be a high surface area, stabilized, and promoted washcoat layer. The corrugated pattern may include a herringbone-style pattern that, when in use, is oriented in a longitudinal direction of the diesel engine exhaust flow. The micro-expanded metal foil provides small openings or eyes that, as the exhaust flow passes through the catalyst (transverse to the eye opening), particulates in the flow impinge on the surface and becomes trapped in the eyes. The catalyst may be used to treat a locomotive engine exhaust stream and may be used with a selective catalyst reduction system.

An electrically heatable catalytic converter with a metal honeycomb body, the honeycomb body being formed by a plurality of wound metal foils and the honeycomb body being received in a casing tube, a device for electrically contacting at least individual foils being led into the casing tube through an opening in the casing tube, the device being formed by an electrode which is electrically insulated from the inside of the casing tube by a connecting layer and mechanically connected to the casing tube.
