Acidic doped zirconia catalyst supports with high thermal stability and high SOx resistance have been tested in Diesel exhaust. This paper focuses on the optimization of these materials to get the best trade-off between acidity and thermal stability. These materials were tested as a Platinum support for Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC). Preliminary data are also discussed concerning their ammonia adsorption properties for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by ammonia (SCR).

Acidic zirconia materials have been tested as catalysts for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by ammonia (NH3-SCR). This paper focuses on the promotion of acidic zirconia by ceria. The introduction of ceria increases the NOx conversion, the selectivity to N2 and the durability and makes acidic zirconia materials attractive for Diesel after treatment systems.

New doped zirconia with high thermal stability and high sulfur resistance have been developed for Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC). The present work is focused on rare earths-doped zirconia and base metal-doped zirconia which are preferred carriers of precious metals to improve catalytic performance and durability.
