A selective catalytic reduction catalyst composition for converting oxides of nitrogen (NO.sub.x) in an exhaust gas using a nitrogenous reductant comprises a mixture of a first component and a second component, wherein the first component is an admixture of the H-form of an aluminosilicate mordenite zeolite (MOR) and an iron-promoted aluminosilicate MFI zeolite; and the second component is a vanadium oxide supported on a metal oxide support, which is titania, silica-stabilized titania or a mixture of both titania and silica-stabilized titania, wherein the weight ratio of the first component to the second component is 10:90 to 25:75.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a valve seat (20) for a poppet valve of an internal combustion engine, wherein the poppet valve comprises a head and a stem behind the head, the valve seat comprising: an aperture (21) configured to form a seal with the head of the poppet valve when the poppet valve is in a closed position; and a peripheral body (22) defining, at least in part, one or more ports (23) shaped like e.g. grooves and sized to enable injection of liquid or gas from a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine into a gas stream behind the head of the poppet valve.

The present invention relates to a wall-flow filter for removing particles from the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, which comprises a coating F, which comprises a sintered material S, wherein material S comprises an oxide, oxide-hydroxide, carbonate, sulphate, silicate, phosphate, mixed oxide, composite oxide, molecular sieve or a mixture comprising two or more of these materials.

A method of manufacturing a green body, the method comprising: providing: a third composition comprising a second substrate material, a third polymer, a fusing agent, and a third solvent; forming the third composition into a structure wherein the third composition forms a third layer; and contacting the third layer with a fourth solvent in which the third polymer is insoluble to precipitate said polymer, thereby forming a green body.

A substrate is further manufactured by: arranging a plurality of green bodies to form an assembly of green bodies;
fusing the green bodies in the assembly together, thereby forming a precursor substrate; and sintering the precursor substrate, thereby forming a substrate.

A composite structure, exhaust aftertreatment system, and method of manufacture. The composite structure includes a body that includes an array of intersecting walls that form a plurality of channels extending in an axial direction through the body such that adjacent channels are located on opposite sides of each wall. A composite material of the body includes a first phase of a porous glass or ceramic containing material. The first phase includes an internal interconnected porosity. A second phase of an electrically conductive material is included that is a continuous, three-dimensional, interconnected, electrically conductive phase at least partially filling the internal interconnected porosity of the first phase, which creates an electrical path through at least some of the walls in a lateral direction perpendicular to the axial direction between the opposite sides of the walls.

A catalytic converter includes a catalyst. The catalyst includes a support, platinum group metal (PGM) particles dispersed on the support, and a barrier formed on the support. The barrier is disposed between a first set of the PGM particles and a second set of the PGM particles to suppress aging of the PGM particles.
