The present disclosure describes hybrid binary catalysts (HBCs) that can be used as engine aftertreatment catalyst compositions. The HBCs provide solutions to the challenges facing emissions control. In general, the HBCs include a porous primary catalyst and a secondary catalyst. The secondary catalyst partial coats the surfaces (e.g., the internal porous surface and/or the external surface) of the primary catalyst resulting in a hybridized composition. The synthesis of the HBCs can provide a primary catalyst whose entire surface, or portions thereof, can be coated with the secondary catalyst.

An exhaust purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided with an NO.sub.x storage and reduction type catalyst in an exhaust passage. The NO.sub.x storage and reduction type catalyst comprises a base member, an upstream side coat layer arranged on the base member, and a downstream side coat layer arranged at a downstream side in the direction of exhaust flow from the upstream side coat layer. The upstream side coat layer does not include a Ce-containing oxide but includes a precious metal catalyst. The downstream side coat layer contains a Ce-containing oxide and precious metal catalyst. A length of the upstream side coat layer is a length of 5 to 62.5% of the total length of the upstream side coat layer and the downstream side coat layer, while the remaining part of the coat layer aside from the upstream side coat layer is the downstream side coat layer.

Membranes, methods of making the membranes, and methods of using the membranes are described herein. The membranes can comprise a support layer, and a selective polymer layer disposed on the support layer. The selective polymer layer can comprise an oxidatively stable carrier and a borate additive dispersed within a hydrophilic polymer matrix. The oxidatively stable carrier can comprise a quaternaryammonium hydroxide carrier (e.g., a mobile carrier such as a small molecule quaternaryammonium in hydroxide, or a fixed carrier such as a quaternaryammonium hydroxide-containing polymer), a quaternaryammonium fluoride carrier (e.g., a mobile carrier such as a small molecule quaternaryammonium fluoride, or a fixed carrier such as a quaternaryammonium fluoride-containing polymer), or a combination thereof. The borate additive can comprise a borate salt, a boric acid, or a combination thereof. The membranes can exhibit selective permeability to gases. As such, the membranes can be for the selective removal of carbon dioxide and/or hydrogen sulfide from hydrogen and/or nitrogen.

A carbon nitride membrane composite material modified by black phosphorus/metal organic framework (MOF) and a preparation method and application thereof to waste gas treatment are disclosed. First, taking urea as a raw material to calcine at a high temperature and prepare porous carbon nitride nanosheet; then carrying out surface carboxylation on the porous carbon nitride nanosheet, and modifying metal organic framework (MOF) on the surface of the porous carbon nitride through a layer-by-layer self-assembling method; stripping block black phosphorus materials into a two-dimensional black phosphorus slice by solvent exfoliation method; mixing the MOF-modified porous carbon nitride material with the two-dimensional black phosphorus material, carrying out suction filtration on the mixture under a vacuum pump to obtain the black phosphorus/MOF-modified carbon nitride membrane composite material.

A method is disclosed in which a gas of hydrogen and nitrogen, or hydrogen and ammonia, or hydrogen, nitrogen, and ammonia, is introduced to a fluidized bed. The gas flows through the fluidized bed, and titanium dioxide particles are introduced to the fluidized bed to form a fluid mixture of the particles and gas in the fluidized bed. The particles are reacted with the gas in the fluid mixture to form particles including titanium dioxide and nitrogen. The particles can be disposed along an air flow path in operative communication with a light source for air treatment.

The present disclosure relates to a UV- and visible-light photocatalytic titanium dioxide composite material. In particular, the disclosure relates to a 5 photocatalytic titanium oxide composite material for the decomposition of airborne pollutants.

The present invention relates to a catalytic article for purifying an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides, which comprises a first region containing a vanadium-based SCR catalyst, a second region containing a metal-promoted molecular sieve catalyst, and a third region containing a vanadium-based SCR catalyst, wherein at least part of the second region is located downstream of at least part of the first region and upstream of at least part of the third region in the exhaust gas flow direction, provided that no part of the second region is located upstream of the first region or downstream of the third region.
