Abstract
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.
