The present invention is directed to a method of preparing a synthetic crystalline material, designated as JMZ-12, with a framework built up by the disorder AEI and CHA structures, substantially free of framework phosphorous and prepared preferably in the absence of halides such as fluoride ions. Such method comprises the step of heating a reaction mixture under crystallization conditions for a sufficient period to form a disordered zeolite having both CHA and AEI topologies, wherein the reaction mixture comprises at least one source of aluminum, at least one source of silicon, a source of alkaline or alkaline-earth cations, and a structure directing agent containing at least one source of quaternary ammonium cations and at least one source of alkyl-substituted piperidinium cations in a molar ratio of 0.20 to about 1.4. The resulting zeolites are useful as catalysts, particularly when used in combination with exchanged transition metal(s) and, optionally, rare earth metal(s).

In order to specify a catalytic converter, especially SCR catalytic converter, with maximum catalytic activity, this catalytic converter has at least one catalytically active component and additionally at least one porous inorganic filler component having meso- or macroporosity. The organic porous filler component has a proportion of about 5 to 50% by weight. More particularly, a diatomaceous earth or a pillared clay material is used as the porous inorganic filler component.

A process for the preparation of an extra-framework metal-containing aluminosilicate zeolite involves the steps of: (a) forming a reactant mixture A comprising (i) an aqueous slurry of an aluminosilicate zeolite in a H.sup.+-form, and (ii) a metal containing compound or free metal, wherein the mixture does not comprise ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or an ammonium salt, and (b) reacting the metal containing compound or free metal with the aluminosilicate zeolite in a H.sup.+-form in reactant mixture A and forming a product mixture B, a reaction mixture comprising the extra-framework metal-containing aluminosilicate zeolite. The metal comprises one or more of copper, iron, manganese, nickel and palladium. The step of reacting the metal with the aluminosilicate zeolite in a H.sup.+-form is performed in a single exchange. The extra-framework metal-containing aluminosilicate zeolite can then be used directly in forming a washcoat that can be applied to a support.

This exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided with a substrate and a catalyst layer formed on a surface of the substrate. The catalyst layer contains zeolite particles that support a metal, and a rare earth element-containing compound that contains a rare earth element. The rare earth element-containing compound is added in such an amount that the molar ratio of the rare earth element relative to Si contained in the zeolite is 0.001 to 0.014 in terms of oxides.

A hydrogenolysis bimetallic supported catalyst comprising a first metal, a second metal, and a zeolitic support; wherein the first metal and the second metal are different; and wherein the first metal and the second metal can each independently be selected from the group consisting of iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), palladium (Pd), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co).

The present disclosure generally provides catalysts, catalyst articles and catalyst systems including such catalyst articles. In particular, the catalyst composition includes a metal ion-exchanged molecular sieve ion-exchanged with at least one additional metal, which reduces the number of metal centers often present in metal promoted zeolite catalysts. Methods of making and using the catalyst composition are also provided, as well as emission treatment systems including a catalyst article coated with the catalyst composition. The catalyst article present in such emission treatment systems is useful to catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in gas exhaust in the presence of a reductant while minimizing the amount of dinitrogen oxide emission.

The invention relates to a catalytic article comprising a substrate having an inlet and an outlet; a first coating comprising a blend of: (1) platinum on a support, and (2) a first SCR catalyst comprising a Cu- and Mn-exchanged molecular sieve; and a second coating comprising a second SCR catalyst; wherein the support comprises at least one of a zeolite or a SiO.sub.2-Al.sub.2O.sub.3 mixed oxide. The platinum may be fixed on the support in solution.

Disclosed are supported platinum-tin (Pt—Sn) based catalysts and methods of their use in selective light alkane dehydrogenation to corresponding alkenes and preparation. The supported catalysts contain a support of blended zeolite, in particular SAPO-34, zinc aluminate compound, and calcium aluminate, impregnated with Pt and Sn metal and a promoter that includes an alkali metal or compound thereof, an alkaline earth metal or compound thereof, or any combination thereof.

A NO.sub.x absorber catalyst for treating an exhaust gas from a diesel engine. The NO.sub.x absorber catalyst comprises a first NO.sub.x absorber material comprising a molecular sieve catalyst, wherein the molecular sieve catalyst comprises a noble metal and a molecular sieve, and wherein the molecular sieve contains the noble metal; a second NO.sub.x absorber material comprising palladium (Pd) supported on an oxide of cerium; and a substrate having an inlet end and an outlet end.

The present disclosure features a high metal cation content zeolite-based binary catalyst (e.g., a high copper and/or iron content zeolite-based binary catalyst, where the zeolite can be a chabazite) for NO.sub.x reduction, having relatively low N.sub.2O make, and having low corresponding metal oxide content; where the metal in the metal oxide corresponds to the metal of the metal cation. The present disclosure also describes the synthesis of the zeolite-based binary catalyst having high metal cation content.
