An exhaust gas purification catalyst containing a CeO.sub.2 particle supported on the surface of an MnO.sub.2 particle, wherein the Ce amount relative to the total amount of Mn and Ce (Ce/(Mn+Ce)) in the catalyst is more than 0 mol % and 40 mol % or less; and a method for producing the exhaust gas purification catalyst above, including mixing an aqueous solution containing a manganese ion and a cerium ion in a ratio of more than 0 mol % and 40 mol % or less in terms of the Ce amount relative to the total amount of Mn and Ce (Ce/(Mn+Ce)) and an aqueous solution having dissolved therein a carbonate ion-containing reducing agent, thereby precipitating a particle, and firing the particle, are provided.

A method for manufacturing a zeolite catalyst includes: manufacturing a first Linde Type A (LTA) zeolite using an LTA seed; manufacturing a second LTA zeolite including ions by substituting ions to the first LTA zeolite; and manufacturing a copper LTA zeolite by performing copper ion exchange on the second LTA zeolite.

The present invention pertains to a catalyst for use in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides comprising: • a monolithic substrate and • a coating A which comprises an oxidic metal carrier comprising an oxide of titanium and a catalytic metal oxide which comprises an oxide of vanadium wherein the mass ratio vanadium/titanium is 0.07 to 0.26.

An exhaust aftertreatment unit for cleaning exhaust gases. The exhaust aftertreatment unit includes an emission reducing module being a diesel particulate filter, DPF, and/or a diesel oxidation catalyst, DOC, a selective catalyst reduction, SCR, catalyst, an electrical heating element arranged upstream of the SCR catalyst, a casing housing at least the emission reducing module, and a service lid removably arranged to cover a service opening of the casing through which the emission reducing module may be accessed. The electrical heating element is removably arranged relative the casing and is arranged accessible upon removal of the service lid.

An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system, a first filter, and a second filter disposed downstream of the first filter and a bypass conduit providing a flow path bypassing the second filter. A valve is operatively coupled to the bypass conduit and is moveable between a closed position in which the exhaust gas flows through the second filter, and an open position in which at least a portion of the exhaust gas flows through the bypass conduit. A controller is operatively coupled to the valve configured to adjust the valve based on a first filtration efficiency of the first filter to cause the exhaust gas expelled into the environment from the aftertreatment to have a particulate matter count meeting particulate matter emission standards.

A process for preparing a catalyst comprising a zeolitic material comprising copper, the process comprising (i) preparing an aqueous mixture comprising water, a zeolitic material comprising copper, a source of copper other than the zeolitic material comprising copper, and a non-zeolitic oxidic material selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, ceria, a mixed oxide comprising one or more of Al, Si, Ti, Zr, and Ce and a mixture of two or more thereof; (ii) disposing the mixture obtained in (i) on the surface of the internal walls of a substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending from the inlet end to the outlet end and a plurality of passages defined by internal walls of the substrate extending therethrough; and optionally drying the substrate comprising the mixture disposed thereon; (iii) calcining the substrate obtained in (ii).

The invention relates to a conveyor unit for conveying a liquid, comprising a distributor block made of plastic for the liquid-conducting connection of at least one component for conveying the liquid, the distributor block comprising at least one metallic clamping element which encloses the distributor block at least in some regions on the outside.

An exhaust system assembly including a catalyst housing, a catalyst core, and a swirler tube positioned inside the catalyst housing. The swirler tube has a plurality of openings that permit radial exhaust flow into an inner volume of the swirler tube from the catalyst housing. One end of the swirler tube has blades that extend inward and include oblique surfaces arranged at oblique angles relative to a centerline axis of the swirler tube. These blades induce a vortex in the exhaust gases exiting the first swirler tube end. The swirler tube is arranged inside the catalyst housing such that a sequential flow path is created where the exhaust gases flowing through the catalyst housing must first pass through the openings in the swirler tube and then by the blades at the first swirler tube end.
