Abstract

Disclosed are processes for the preparation of copper containing molecular sieves with the CHA structure having a silica to alumina mole ratio greater than about 10, wherein the copper exchange step is conducted via wet state exchanged and prior to the coating step and wherein in the copper exchange step a liquid copper solution is used wherein the concentration of copper is in the range of about 0.001 to about 0.25 molar using copper acetate and/or an ammoniacal solution of copper ions as copper source. Catalysts made by the processes, catalyst systems and methods of treating exhaust gas with the molecular sieves and catalysts are also disclosed.
