Disclosed herein are emission treatment systems, articles, and methods for selectively reducing NOx compounds. The systems include a hydrogen generator, a hydrogen selective catalytic reduction (H.sub.2-SCR) article, and one or more of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and/or a lean NOx trap (LNT) and/or a low temperature NOx adsorber (LTNA). Certain articles may comprise a zone coated substrate and/or a layered coated substrate and/or an intermingled coated substrate of one or more of the H.sub.2-SCR and/or DOC and/or LNT and/or LTNA catalytic compositions.

The present disclosure is directed towards a filter arrangement for a reductant supply system of a selective catalytic reduction system. The reductant supply system comprises a tank and a suction tube mounted at least partially in the tank for receiving reductant liquid from the tank. The filter arrangement comprises a restraining body, a filter at least partially forming a filter chamber, a filter outlet from the filter chamber formed through the restraining body and/or filter and a filter mount mounted to the restraining body and/or filter. The restraining body extends radially outwardly from the filter mount and is configured to restrain the filter such that, under the effect of buoyancy in the tank in use, gas in the filter chamber is directed towards the filter outlet.

A diesel engine is provided with an exhaust after-treatment device for purifying exhaust gas. The exhaust after-treatment device comprises a DPF that collects a particulate matter included in the exhaust gas, and an SCR that reduces nitrogen oxides included in the exhaust gas through addition of urea. The DPF is arranged to extend in an engine front-rear direction, which is a direction parallel to a crankshaft (CS), while the SCR is arranged to extend in an engine width direction rearward of the DPF in the engine front-rear direction.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing greenhouse gas emission in a vessel and a vessel including the same, in which an absorbent liquid recycling unit is provided in two or more stages so that an unreacted aqueous ammonium salt solution remaining in ammonia water is removed to maintain a concentration of ammonia water at a certain level, thereby increasing a recovery rate of an absorbent liquid and preventing a deterioration in greenhouse gas absorption performance. Or in which exhaust gas is cooled by a heat exchange method, thereby preventing a decrease in a concentration of an absorbent liquid, and an absorbent liquid recycling unit is provided in two or more stages so that an unreacted aqueous ammonium salt solution remaining in ammonia water is removed, thereby increasing a recovery rate of the absorbent liquid and preventing a deterioration in greenhouse gas absorption performance.

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 is a method of preparing a high-performance zeolite catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, and more particularly a technique for preparing a zeolite catalyst, suitable for use in effectively removing nitrogen oxide (NOx), among exhaust gases emitted from vehicle internal combustion engines through selective catalytic reduction (SCR), thereby exhibiting high efficiency, high chemical stability and high thermal durability upon SCR using the prepared catalyst.

A vehicle hybrid powertrain includes an internal combustion engine; an electrical drivetrain; a light-off selective catalytic reduction (LO-SCR) device coupled to receive exhaust from the internal combustion engine; and a control system that directs cylinder deactivation (CDA) of the internal combustion engine and controls heat applied to the LO-SCR device.

A vehicle exhaust system including an exhaust pipe section, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, and a burner assembly, connected to the exhaust pipe section at a position upstream of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, for pre-heating the exhaust system prior to engine start-up. The burner assembly includes a burner with a combustion chamber and a connecting tube that extends between the burner and the exhaust pipe section. A metallic mesh filter element is located inside the connecting tube and/or a catalytic washcoat is disposed on an inner surface of the connecting tube to reduce emissions of the burner assembly at start-up. The catalytic washcoat comprises a mixture of a support material and a catalyst material that chemically reacts with emissions generated by the burner to reduce the amount of burner produced emissions released from the exhaust system during pre-heating.

The method for suppressing formation of a high-melting-point pipe-clogging substance includes disposing a urea-solution supply pipe (6) configured to supply pressurized air and a urea solution into a pipe through which exhaust gas flows, connecting a urea-solution spray nozzle (7) near a tip of the urea-solution supply pipe (6), providing a mixing section (8) configured to mix the exhaust gas flowing through the pipe and a sprayed urea solution sprayed from the urea-solution spray nozzle (7), circumferentially providing a metal sheet (9) on all or part of an inner wall surface of the pipe in a belt-like manner around the mixing section (8), and forming a hydrolysis catalyst layer (10) configured to promote hydrolysis of urea on an inner surface of the metal sheet (9).

A vehicular exhaust filter comprising a porous substrate having an inlet face and an outlet face with the porous substrate comprising inlet channels extending from the inlet face and outlet channels extending from the outlet face is disclosed. The inlet channels and the outlet channels are separated by a plurality of filter walls having a porous structure. The vehicular exhaust filter is loaded with a refractory powder having a tapped density before loading of less than 0.10 g/cm.sup.3 and the vehicular exhaust filter has a mass loading of the refractory powder of less than 10 g/l.
