    The present invention relates to improvements in —NOX traps that form part of an aftertreatment system. of the gas of . Internal combustion exhaust, and more especially, refers to NOx traps having an improved ability to be regenerated relative to stored sulfur.
    The use of in-line NOx storage units, often called lean NOx traps but now more commonly called NOx traps or NOx absorbent catalysts (NAC), is now well known in gas aftertreatment systems. exhaust for lean burning internal combustion engines.
    Possibly the oldest patent publication is Toyota EP O 560 991 which describes how a NOx storage unit can be constructed by incorporating materials such as barium oxide which react with NOx to form nitrates and a catalyst conversion of NOx to platinum.
    The trap is periodically regenerated by modulating the fuel/air ratio (commonly called “lambda” or 2) to stoichiometric (à = 1 or rich (4 >1), so that NOx is released and simultaneously reduced by contact with the catalyst for nitrogen gas.
    A conventional NOx trap is constructed by depositing the NOx trapping components, including the oxygen storage components ("OSC") and the catalytic components, in a device in alveolar flow form through a monolithic substrate, in the same manner. than coating a monolithic alveolar substrate with an exhaust gas catalyst.
    Earlier we demonstrated, at least in some circumstances,
    that it may be advantageous to form a NOx trap using layers of materials.
    The present invention may be applied to gasoline spark ignition engines, but is of special relevance to compression ignition engines, generally known as engines. diesel, although some compression ignition engines can run on other fuels such as natural gas, biodiesel or diesel fuel blended with biodiesel and/or Fischer-Tropsch fuels. Compression ignition engines operate with lean fuel/air ratios, and produce good fuel economy, but have greater difficulties than engines that use gasoline as fuel, in the storage and conversion of NOx, because of the gasses. resulting poor exhaust. Gasoline fuel engines are generally operated close to ) = 1, although NOx conversion is slightly less difficult than diesel, sulfur accumulation, and sulfur release from NOx scavengers can present some difficulties. Although diesel fuels are now commonly refined and formulated as being “low sulfur” or “ultra low sulfur”, fuels, and hence exhaust gases, contain sulfur compounds. Lubricants used in the engine can also contribute sulfur components in the exhaust gases. NOx scavengers, which generally contain barium oxide, and cerium as an oxygen storage component (“OSC”), — effectively, but coincidentally, retain sulfur compounds through the reaction. This could be thought of as sulfur “poisoning” or simply reducing the NOx trap's NOx storage capacity by competing sulfur with NOx storage sites. As barium sulfate is more stable than nitrate, Barium Under vehicle exhaust gas conditions, sulfur must be periodically removed using more aggressive temperatures (richer exhaust gas, longer and/or warmer temperatures) than are used to release stored NOx. Therefore, the É 5 — state of the art NOx storage trap technology includes . sulfur release events, to maintain the effectiveness of the NOx trap. These events are engine operating periods for sulfur to be released from the NOx trap, and generally involve raising the temperature of the NOx trap while modeling often * (alternating “poor/rich”), which can generate an exotherm within the NOx trap. The temperature of the NOx trap in this sulfur release event is usually increased to at least 550°C. Several companies have been working on improving the release of sulfur from NOx traps, focusing on the initiation and termination of the sulfur release event and the necessary engine control for successful sulfur release. Reference is made to US 2009044518 (Peugeot Citroen Automobiles SA) as an example. However, it is not believed that any of their improvements made involved altering the structure of the NOX trap itself. For a typical state of the art, the NOx scavenger having an even distribution of components throughout, there is a time lag between the front of the NOx scavenger reaching the desired sulfur release temperature, and the back of the scavenger of NOx reach that temperature. In practical terms, therefore, accumulated sulfur is moved through the scavenger, and there is a tendency for the backside of the scavenger not to be fully desulfated.
    The inventors have noted that temperature propagation across the length of the NOx trap substrate is slow. It would therefore be desirable to improve heat generation at the downstream end of the NOX trap, rather than relying on conventional heat transfer from the front of the trap during a desulfation event. An objective of the present invention is to achieve an improved NOx trap that offers the ability to release retained sulfur more E 5 efficiently and/or with less need for the desulfation event.
    . The present invention provides a NOx scavenger consisting of components containing at least one platinum group metal, at least one NOx storage material and a volume of cerium or an oxide mixture containing a volume of cerium deposited uniformly in a first layer on a monolithic substrate in alveolar form, the components uniformly deposited in the first layer having a first upstream zone having increased activity relative to a second downstream zone for the oxidation of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, and a second downstream zone having activity increased to generate heat during a desulfation event, relative to the first upstream zone, where the second downstream zone is constituted by a rare earth oxide dispersion, where the rare earth oxide charge to gin* in the second zone a downstream is greater than the rare earth oxide load in the first upstream zone.
    As used herein, the term "crude" refers to a reducible oxide such as cerium (or any other component) and means that cerium is present as solid particles thereof. These particles are usually very fine, on the order of at least 90% of the particles being around 0.5 to 15 microns in diameter. The term "crude" is intended to differentiate from — a situation in which cerium is "dispersed" in a refractory support material, for example, by being impregnated into the support material from a solution, for example, cerium nitrate or any another liquid dispersion of the component is then dried and calcined to convert the impregnated cerium nitrate to a dispersion of cerium particles on a surface of the refractory support. The resulting cerium is therefore “scattered” over, and to a greater or lesser degree, within a layer of the surface of the support. refractory. Dispersed cerium is not present in crude form because bulk cerium is composed of fine, solid particles of cerium. The Ô 5 dispersion can also be in the form of a solution, i.e., finely divided particles, : for example, of cerium on a nanometric scale.
    GB 2450578 discloses a lean NOx scavenger system consisting of two individual substrates where an upstream substrate has a lower oxygen and cerium storage component and a lower platinum group metal charge than the downstream substrate. However, none of the examples in GB '578 investigate the claimed benefits of dividing the total cerium load in the poor NOx scavenger system between upstream and downstream substrates. Furthermore, it is unclear whether "cerium" in the poor NOx trap the authors mean to mean cerium
    15. "raw", dispersed cerium, or both. In the NOx trap of the present invention, the inventors found that the presence of “raw cerium” or a mixed oxide containing bulk cerium deposited uniformly in a first layer on a monolithic substrate in alveolar form improves the conversion of rich NOx. By removing it, the conversion of rich NOx is —undesirably lower.
    US 2004/0082470 presents a two-zone NOx trap that appears to have been designed primarily for use in a gasoline engine, whose NOx trap has an upstream zone without the oxygen storage component and a downstream zone having " one — small amount of mixed oxides of zirconium and cerium”. For the reasons discussed above, the inventors believe that the absence of OSC, eg cerium, in the upstream zone would reduce the overall NOx reducing activity of the NOx trap. Furthermore, the PGM loading in the upstream zone appears to be greater than that of the downstream zone.
    In embodiments, the rare earth oxide dispersion may contain oxides of elements selected from the group consisting of cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, lanthanum, samarium and mixtures thereof.
    Preferred rare earth oxides include cerium oxide and/or praseodymium oxide 5 as cerium oxide being especially preferred.
    The oxide dispersion. Rare earths can be present, for example, as an impregnation of components in the NOx trap (where one or more components of the NOx trap supports the rare earth oxide) or as a solution (rare earth oxide particles finely divided into a scale
    —nanometric). The inventors have noted that the presence, for example, of dispersed rare earth oxides, such as cerium, is detrimental to the oxidation of HC and CO, for example, to Pt or PtPd/CeZrO,. They also noted that the key to promoting NOx storage is removing HC and CO from the exhaust gas.
    As a result of this observation, the trained person should consider placing a platinum group metal in a larger load at the inlet end.
    However, this adds to the cost with little benefit.
    Likewise, removing the platinum group metal from the second downstream zone entirely is also detrimental to the overall NOx storage, because the total NOx storage is volume and catalyst dependent, and the platinum group metal must oxidize NO and NO2 to promote NOx storage.
    Preferably, therefore, the charge of the rare earth oxide dispersion in the first upstream zone in gin* is zero.
    However, in certain embodiments, for example, in an exhaust system consisting of a closely coupled diesel oxidation catalyst, followed by a NOx trap, at a location under the floor (see also here below), the Rare earth oxide may also be present in the first upstream zone, but with a lower charge than in the second downstream zone, eg at < 30%, such as 5-25%, < 20% or 10-
    20% of the gin* load of the rare earth oxide dispersion in the second downstream zone.
    Placing most if not all of the rare earth oxide dispersion in the second zone downstream, the oxidation activity of ] 5 — hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide of the first zone upstream is . improved in relation to the second zone downstream. In addition, rare earth oxide dispersion in the second downstream zone increases the activity to generate heat to promote desulfation during a desulfation event. The inventors also believe that rare earth oxide can generate hydrogen (eg through water-gas alternation) which can also destabilize the sulfate present in the NOx trap, also promoting desulfation.
    Depending on the most suitable arrangement for use in a vehicle (eg, maximum exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas temperature window (ie, temperature range, high to low), space velocity, location of the exhaust system (location of coupling near or under the floor), the proportions between the first and second zones, by length of the first layer, can be from 20:80 to 80:20, preferably 30:70 to 70:30 especially , 50:50.
    In other embodiments, the platinum group metals in the components "uniformly deposited in the first layer are comprised of platinum and/or palladium. Combinations of platinum and palladium are preferred because palladium reduces platinum's tendency to sinter, — losing surface area and activity.
    Mixed oxide components containing cerium and cerium in bulk are reducible oxides having an oxygen storage activity, ie, in the exhaust gas environment they release oxygen when the exhaust gas is rich in the stoichiometric lambda set point and absorbs oxygen from the exhaust gas when the exhaust gas is poor from the stoichiometric lambda setpoint.
    A preferred component for blending with cerium in mixed oxides to improve the hydrothermal stability of cerium oxide in bulk is E 5 zirconium, and depending on the ratio used between cerium and zirconium, . optionally, one or more rare earth elements may also be included.
    The or each of the at least one NOx storage material may be chosen from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals and alkali metals.
    Suitable alkaline earth metals include barium, strontium, calcium and magnesium with barium and/or strontium being preferred.
    Alkali metals may be selected from the group consisting of potassium, cesium, sodium and lithium, with potassium and/or cesium being preferred.
    To improve the hydrothermal stability of the NOx trap, it is preferable that components deposited evenly in the first layer contain magnesium aluminate.
    To improve NOx reduction at relatively high temperatures and to maintain NOx reduction after hydrothermal aging, preferably, the second layer superimposed on the first layer is comprised of a supported rhodium component.
    The rhodium support can be alumina or zirconia, optionally doped with one or more rare earth elements.
    Preferably, the rhodium support or the rhodium-containing coating includes a reducible oxide such as cerium.
    Where cerium is not present in the rhodium support, it can be included in the — plating, for example, as a solution.
    To further improve heat control, the second downstream zone may have a lower thermal mass than the first upstream zone, for example, a smaller coating load may be applied.
    The monolithic substrate in honeycomb form can be made of a ceramic material such as cordierite or silicon carbide, or a metal such as Fecralloy&. The arrangement is preferably that of a configuration called an "in-run" in which a number of channels extend in Í 5 — parallel from an open input end to an open output end. However, the monolithic alveolar substrate may also be in the form of a filtration substrate, such as a so-called wall-flow filter or a ceramic foam. According to another aspect, the invention presents an exhaust system for a lean-burning internal combustion engine, whose exhaust system is composed of a NOx trap according to the invention, where the first upstream zone is oriented towards receiving the exhaust gas from the engine before the second downstream zone. The NOx trap according to the invention has a specific application when located in the so-called close-coupled position, ie, within 50 cm or so of the engine exhaust manifold, to maximize the use of heat to promote activity. catalytic. An alternative, less preferred arrangement, would be to place the NOx trap in the so-called “under the floor” position, ie, just below the vehicle's lower body, with a diesel oxidation catalyst located upstream (optionally coupled near the engine) of the NOx trap below the floor. In the latter arrangement, it is desirable to disperse some rare earth oxide also in the first upstream zone in accordance with the invention.
    According to another aspect, the invention features a vehicle containing a lean-burn internal combustion engine and an exhaust system in accordance with the present invention, where the engine contains engine control means configured for, when the engine is in use , intermittently modulate the engine fuel/home ratio from a lean operating mode (lambda <1) to a richer operating mode (lambda <1, lambda = 1 or lambda >1) for the purpose of releasing improperly stored sulfur in the NOX catcher. The vehicle's lean-burn internal combustion engine is preferably a '5 compression ignition engine, like the diesel engine, and it can also be used as: natural gas, biodiesel or blends of diesel and biodiesel and/ or Fischer-Tropsch based fuel blends. According to another aspect, the invention provides a method of producing a NOx trap according to any preceding claim, which method comprises the steps of: (a) coating a monolithic alveolar substrate with a uniform reactive coating containing at least one platinum group metal, at least one bulk cerium and NOx storage material or a mixed oxide containing bulk cerium; (b) drying and firing the coated monolithic substrate; (c) impregnating a second zone of the coated monolithic substrate with an aqueous solution of a rare earth element, or contacting a second zone of the coated monolithic substrate with a solution of a rare earth element oxide; and (d) drying and firing the coated monolithic substrate from step (c).
    In one embodiment, an additional step is inserted between steps (c) and (d), where a first zone of the coated monolithic substrate impregnated with an aqueous solution of a rare earth element, or a first zone of the coated monolithic substrate, is contacted with a rare earth element oxide solution, and in any case, the charge — resulting from rare earth oxide in gin° (ie, excluding bulk cerium or a mixed oxide containing bulk cerium) in the first zone is : (1) < 30% of the rare earth oxide charge in the second zone; or (11) >70% of the rare earth oxide charge in the second zone.
    According to another aspect, the invention provides a method of producing a NOx trap according to the invention, which method comprises the steps of: (a) coating a first zone of a first end alveolar monolithic substrate with a coating composed of at least one platinum group metal, at least one bulk cerium and NOx storage material or a mixed oxide containing bulk cerium; (b) drying and firing the partially coated monolithic substrate; (c) coating a second zone of the partially coated monolithic substrate of a second end thereof with a coating composed of at least one platinum group metal, at least one NOx storage material, bulk cerium or a mixed oxide containing cerium and an aqueous solution of a rare earth element, or a solution of a rare earth element oxide; and (d) drying and firing the coated monolithic substrate from step (c).
    In one embodiment, the coating of step (a) is comprised of an aqueous solution of rare earth elements or a solution of a rare earth element oxide at a concentration that results in a rare earth oxide charge in gin* ( ie, excluding cerium or mixed oxide containing cerium) in the first upstream zone, which is: (1) < 30% of the rare earth oxide charge in the second zone; or (ii) >70% of the rare earth load in the second zone.
    In embodiments of any method of producing a NOx trap in accordance with the present invention, a further step is comprised of coating the monolithic substrate coated with the first - layer with a second layer composed of a supported rhodium component and drying and burning the resulting monolithic substrate.
    The first and second zones can be rapidly formed using known techniques for differential deposition of catalyst and other components for exhaust gas catalysts,
    for example using the applicant's WO 99/47260, ie constituted by the steps of (a) installing a containment means on top of a support, (b) dosing a predetermined amount of a liquid component in said containment means , in the order of (a) and then (b) or (b) and then (a), and is 5 -(c) applying pressure or vacuum, withdrawing said component to at least a portion of the support, and retaining substantially all said amount within the holder. In order for the invention to be better understood, the following examples are presented, for illustrative purposes only and with reference to the attached drawings, where: Figure | is a graph showing the loss of NOx conversion due to repeated SOx/deSOx cycles recorded against the number of desulfation events at 500°C in a synthetic catalytic activity tester for two two-layer poor NOx traps, one of which has a solution present. of cerium in the bottom layer; e Figure 2 is a graph comparing the CO conversion of an 800°C aged bottom layer of a lean NOx trap with and without the cerium solution.
    EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1 - Poor Nox Trap Formulation A 400 cells per square inch internal flow monolithic cordierite substrate was coated with a two-layer NOx trap formulation consisting of a first lower layer containing 2 gin* of alumina, 2 cerium particulate gin*, 90 gft* of —Pt,25gfr dePde800 gf of Ba, and a second layer containing 0.5 gin* to 85% zirconia doped with rare earth elements, 10 gft of Rh and 400 gft of cerium solution. The first layer was coated onto the virgin monolithic substrate using the method presented in WO 99/47260 followed by drying for 30 minutes in a forced air dryer at 100°C and then firing at 500°C for 2h before the second layer was applied and repeated the same drying and firing procedure. This NOx trap was tagged with LNTI1. LNT2 was prepared using an identical procedure, ' 5 except that 400 gft of cerium solution was also added in the underlay formulation. EXAMPLE 2 - Repeated SOx/deSOx Test of Synthetic Catalytic Activity (SCAT) One piece each of LNT1 and LNT2 was cut and each piece tested in turns using a synthetic catalytic activity tester (SCAT) using the following conditions: 1) Cycle between 300 seconds lean/20 seconds rich at an inlet temperature of 350ºC - 5 cycles without any sulfur for evaluation of clean NOx performance; and - 5 cycles with sulfur to sulphate the sample for 2 9/1 2) Desulfation at 500ºC for 5 minutes Cycle between 50 seconds rich/10 seconds lean 3) 300 seconds lean/20 seconds rich at 350ºC - 5 cycles without any sulfur for the evaluation of the performance of desulfated NOx; e - 5 cycles with sulfur to sulfate up to 2 g/l 4) Repeat Gas conditions used are shown in table 1 Table 1 Lean E Ro Lean desulfation — Rich desulfation — | length sec) Ba o a uu a

    The results of repeated sulfation/desulfation cycles and their effect on NOx conversion are shown in Figure 1, in which it can be seen that after repeated desulfation, LNT1 retains more NOx converting activity than LNT2. That is, the presence of extra dispersed cerium ' 5 — in the lower layer of LNT1 helps to retain NOx conversion. after repeated cycles of SOx/deSOx. The inventors deduced, based on this observation, that dispersed cerium aids desulfation by generating exotherm and/or hydrogen during desulfation events that aid in the desulfation of the NOx trap.
    EXAMPLE 3 - Oxidation activity of CO in the lower layer of the NOx trap The monolithic substrate coated only with the lower layers of LNT1 and LNT2 after drying and firing, prepared as described in example 1, were aged at 800ºC for 5h in 10% H2O, 10% Ox the remainder being No. The monolithic substrates were each tested in a 1.9 liter Euro 4 diesel engine mounted on a laboratory bench, removing an existing NOx trap and replacing it with the LNT1 monolithic substrates (bottom layer) or LNT2 (bottom layer).
    An engine speed of 1200 rpm was chosen and the engine torque was varied to achieve a desired catalyst inlet temperature. The evaluation started with a catalyst inlet temperature of 350ºC. Motor torque has been adjusted to reduce the inlet temperature down to <150ºC, sufficient to achieve “light out” carbon monoxide oxidation. In practice this was done by reducing the engine torque from 100Nm to 5Nm for ten minutes. After the “light-out”, the engine torque was boosted back up with a speed of approximately 17°C/min to 350°C to achieve the “light-off” carbon monoxide oxidation. Exhaust gas composition, mass flow, temperature, etc. were all monitored using a vehicle dynamometer.
    The CO conversion results (%) for this test procedure are shown in figure 2, from which it can be seen that after the ' 5 “lighting out” at <150ºC, the CO oxidation activity “lights off” another: Once, when the test raises the temperature above about 165°C and the CO conversion activity of the lower layer of LNT1 never drops below 80% conversion during the entire test.
    However, after the CO conversion activity of the LNT2 bottom layer, which contains cerium solution in addition to the other LNT1 coating components, lights-out at <150°C, the catalyst fails to light-off again. to a similar grade as the bottom layer of LNTI1 up to about 180°C, and the CO conversion efficiency drops below 50%. The results of examples 1, 2, and 3 taken together show that for a lean NOx scavenger containing Pt, Pd, and a NOx storage component of barium supported on bulk alumina and cerium, the presence of dispersed cerium is not only detrimental to CO conversion activity as beneficial to desulfation.
    By “zoning” the dispersed cerium towards the back of a monolithic substrate that supports the NOx trap, an advantageous combination of functionalities is obtained.
