The major air pollutants emitted by diesel engines are nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and soot. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons can be removed simply by oxidation over platinum containing oxidation catalysts. The aim of this work is to develop catalysts for an efficient and simultaneous conversion of nitrogen oxides and soot to yield nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
