A composition for exhaust gas purification containing Y—Mn—O and Al.sub.2O.sub.3 and having a specific surface area (SSA) retention satisfying inequality (1) SSA retention (%) >−61.54×(Y—Mn—O ratio)+75.55 and inequality (2) SSA retention (%) >45 (2), where SSA retention is represented by (SSA after aging)/(initial SSA)×100 (%). The SSA after aging and the initial SSA are as defined in the description. The Y—Mn—O ratio is a mass ratio of Y—Mn—O to the sum of Y—Mn—O and Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in the composition for exhaust gas purification, being represented by Y—Mn—O/(Y—Mn—O+Al.sub.2O.sub.3).

A reduction device includes a housing defining an input chamber configured to receive exhaust from a power source, an output chamber, an exhaust channel configured to direct the exhaust from the input chamber to the output chamber, and a longitudinal axis. The reduction device also includes a treatment unit disposed in the exhaust channel and along the longitudinal axis. The treatment unit is configured to at least partly remove pollutant species from the exhaust. The reduction device also includes an attenuation component disposed in the housing and radially outward of the treatment unit. The attenuation component is fluidly connected to the exhaust channel, and is configured to attenuate a range of frequencies corresponding to operation of the power source. Additionally, the exhaust channel prohibits exhaust entering the input chamber from exiting the housing without passing through the treatment unit.

The present disclosure relates to reductant injection system and method for a selective catalytic reduction reaction whereby urea is injected directly to an exhaust line where a denitrification reaction occurs without using an additional urea decomposition reactor and, thus, conversion from urea to ammonia can occur very fast.

A method of recovering catalyst performance includes providing a vanadium selective catalytic reduction (VSCR) catalyst. The method includes exposing the VSCR catalyst to a first humidity level in a range of 50%-100% relative humidity, at a first temperature in a range of 20° C.-100° C., for a first period of time of at least two hours. The method includes thermally treating the VSCR catalyst at a second temperature in a range of 300° C.-600° C. for a second period of time of at least than one hour.
