Resumen:
A spray method is proposed to improve the catalytic properties of ceramic papers to be used as catalytic filters for removing diesel soot particles. Small particles of Ce and Co oxides, acting as active centers for the combustion ofthe soot retained by the filter, are efficiently and homogeneously deposited. On the contrary, the application of the conventional dripmethod results in bigger particlesmainly agglomerated at the crossings between the fibers of the ceramic paper. As a result, catalytic papers prepared by the spraymethod exhibitmuch higher performance with soot combustion temperatures decreased by ~30 °C.
