Particulate sorbent compositions comprising a mixture of zinc oxide, silica, alumina and a substantially reduced valence cobalt are provided for the desulfurization of a feedstream of cracked-gasoline or diesel fuels in a desulfurization zone by a process which comprises the contacting of such feedstreams in a desulfurization zone followed by separation of the resulting low sulfur-containing stream and sulfurized-sorbent and thereafter regenerating and activating the separated sorbent before recycle of same to the desulfurization zone.

A catalyzed diesel particulate filter (CDPF) and a method for filtering particulates from diesel engine exhaust are provided, where the catalyzed diesel particulate filter includes a substrate and a catalyst composition, where the catalyst composition contains at least one first component, at least one second component, and at least one third component, where the first component is at least one first component selected from the group consisting of cerium and a lanthanide and mixtures thereof, the at least one second component is selected from the group consisting of cobalt, copper, manganese and mixtures thereof; and the third component comprises strontium, where the first component, the second component, and the third component are in an oxide form after calcination. The catalyst on the catalyzed diesel particulate filter lowers the temperature at which particulates are removed from the CDPF by oxidizing the particulates on the filter. The catalyzed diesel particulate filter may also include a washcoat. Washcoats prepared from colloidal aluminum oxide may have higher surface areas and pore volumes loadings than washcoats containing aluminum oxide prepared from aluminum nitrate.

A diesel exhaust treatment system and method of oxidizing NO to NO.sub.2 at low temperatures are provided. The system utilizes a platinum catalyst on a zirconia-stabilized silica support which oxidizes NO in the exhaust gas to NO.sub.2 and uses the NO.sub.2 in an amount sufficient to oxidize particulate trapped on a particulate filter. The catalyst is preferably pre-treated at a temperature of between about 500 to 650.degree. C. in a NO-oxygen-nitrogen mixture to increase conversion at low temperatures. The catalyst preferably includes an additional oxide component selected from the group consisting of TiO.sub.2, P.sub.2 O.sub.5, WO.sub.3, B.sub.2 O.sub.3, and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. or a heteropolyacid component to further increase activity at low temperatures or to decrease platinum loading at the same level of performance.

In a method for performing NO2-based regeneration of a diese! particulate filter (DPF) using recirculated NOx, the DPF is regenerated by oxidizing soot in the DPF with NO2 so that CO, CO2, and NO are formed, at least some NOx is recirculated from a takeoff point to a point upstream of the takeoff point. NO2 can be formed by reacting the recirculated NO with 02. During regeneration of the DPF, at least some of the NO2 that oxidizes soot in the DPF is recirculated ISI 02 or formed from recirculated NO that is reacted with 02 to form NO2. An exhaust aftertreatment system for performing NO2-based regeneration of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) using recirculated NOx is also disclosed.

A bypass conduit (23) connects an outlet passage of a compressor (21) of an exhaust gas turbocharger (20) and an inlet passage of an exhaust turbine (22), and a bypass valve (24) is provided therein. When the operating condition of a diesel engine (1) is found to be in a low-speed and high-load region, the bypass valve (24) is controlled by means of a valve controller to adjust the bypass conduit (23) so as to open it. Then, the charge air partly flows into an exhaust conduit (4) to increase the rotational speed of the exhaust turbine (22) and hence the charge air flow rate raises the output of the diesel engine (1). Additionally, as the charge air flow rate is increased, the operating condition of a compressor (21) is prevented from approaching the surging range.

Diesel engine exhaust filtration systems, and ceramic honeycomb wall flow exhaust filters for such systems, wherein the filters comprise axially centralized filter sections having a higher heat capacity and / or a higher gas flow resistance than peripheral filter sections disposed radially outwardly thereof, the filters thereby exhibiting increased resistance to thermal damage from filter regeneration over-heating.

This invention provides a new catalyst for purification of diesel engine exhaust gas comprising a carrier of at least one sulfur-resistant refractory oxide and at least one catalytic metal, wherein at least one solid acid and / or sulfuric acid is carried on the carrier by adding at least one precursor of said solid acid and / or sulfuric acid during the preparation of the carrier, and preparation thereof. The catalyst of this invention is thermally and chemically durable and can effectively remove particulate matters, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the diesel engine exhaust gas at low temperatures.

A compression ignition engine (20) has a control system (26) for processing data, one or more combustion chambers (22), and fuel injectors (24) for injecting fuel into the combustion chambers. The control system controls fueling using a result of the processing of certain data, such as engine speed and engine load, to select one of two fueling modes (HCCI, HCCI-CD) for operating the engine. When the result of the processing selects the HCCI mode, the engine is fueled to cause homogeneous-charge compression-ignition (HCCI) combustion within the combustion chambers. When the result of the processing selects the HCCI-CD mode, the engine is fueled to create a substantially homogeneous combustible charge within each combustion chamber that is compressed to auto-ignition, and after auto-ignition, more fuel is injected to provide additional combustion in the manner of the conventional diesel combustion.

This is a catalyst suitable for a diesel particulate filter (DPF) that traps particulate matter (PM) present in diesel engine exhaust, being a diesel engine exhaust gas particulate matter oxidation catalyst using a perovskite-type composite oxide that has an NO adsorption domain over the range of 200-450° C. This catalyst induces low-temperature combustion of PM but does not use noble metals so it is inexpensive and its constituent materials are not volatile at exhaust gas temperatures so it has superior durability. The perovskite-type composite oxide contains essentially no Na and is represented by the structural formula RTO3, where R comprises one or more elements selected from a group made up of La, Sr, Ba, Ca and Li, and T comprises one or more elements selected from a group made up of Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Zr, Mo, Mg, Al and Si.
