CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE PARTICULATE FILTER

The present invention relates to a particulate filter for removing particles, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas from internal combustion engines operated with a stoichiometric air-fuel mixture. Two coatings Y and Z are located in the porous walls and are present from the first end of the wall-flow filter over the entire length L of the particulate filter. Both contain active alumina, at least one cerium-zirconium-rare earth metal mixed oxide and at least one platinum group metal.
