According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-functional catalyst block for reducing waste materials in the exhaust from a combustion engine. In one embodiment, the multi-functional catalyst block includes a substrate, a urea-hydrolyzing catalyst supported on the substrate, and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst supported on the substrate. In another embodiment, the substrate is a wall-flow monolith configured as a particulate filter. In yet another embodiment, the substrate is a flow-through monolith. |
