Processes are provided for making partially coated monolith catalysts that are useful, for example, as pre-combustor catalysts for diesel exhaust aftertreatment. Monolith substrates are provided with interconnectivity and/or temporary barriers that allow from about 10 to about 90% of the monolith channels to be coated after the monolith substrate is assembled without having to carefully pick out among a large number of openings which ones to inject into or which ones to plug. The invention includes options of injecting into a multipath monolith substrate and of emplacing blocking material during monolith construction. Either catalyst coating material or coat-blocking material can be injected. Blocking materials allow the use of machinery for ordinarily non-selective processes, such as machinery for dip coating. Both multipath injections and pre-placed barriers can be used in a single partial coating process.

1.

1. A method of manufacturing a partially catalyst-coated metal-substrate monolith, comprising the steps of: obtaining a multipath monolith substrate that is the product of a process comprising:obtaining one or more metal foils;texturing at least one of the foils to form corrugations; andfolding, stacking, or rolling the foils to form them into a layered structure having open space between the foil layers and an overall monolith shape, the monolith shape having two opposing open ends along which edges of the foils are exposed and a perimeter closing the volume between the open ends;closing off the open ends of the monolith by pressing pads against them, the pads contacting the edges of the foils including contact on edge locations that are not on the perimeter;injecting material through one or more ports in the pads into space within the monolith, the space accessing a portion of the interior of the monolith limited to from about 10 percent to about 90 percent of the open space between layers, the remaining open space within the monolith being inaccessible from the one or more ports;contacting monolith surfaces bounding the accessed open space with the injected material while not contacting any of the monolith surfaces bounding the inaccessible open space with injected material; andselectively coating a portion of the monolith with a catalyst composition, the selectivity being defined by either selection to the surfaces contacted by the injected material or by exclusion from the surfaces contacted by the injected material;wherein the one or more ports are no more than ten, and the material is not injected into the remaining open space within the monolith that is inaccessible from the one or more ports;wherein the multipath monolith comprises flow paths defined by the corrugations and wherein the flow paths are interconnected. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more ports are four or fewer. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more ports are a single injection port. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing the pads with exit ports that operate during the injection process to relieve pressure from the monolith interior. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the number of exit ports is at least one greater than the number of injection ports. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein injecting material into the monolith makes the coating selective by preventing coating of some surfaces during the coating step. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the injected material substantially fills the space accessible from the one or more ports and the selective coating step uses a non-selective coating process. 8. The method of claim 1, selectively coating a portion of the monolith with a catalyst composition comprises dipping the monolith substrate in a catalyst coating composition or drawing or pouring the catalyst coating composition through one of the ends of the monolith without picking out individual channels. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein injecting material through one or more ports comprises injecting a catalyst slurry or solution into the monolith. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein injecting material through one or more ports comprises injecting a foam that carries a catalyst that is deposited on the surfaces of the monolith channels. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the monolith substrate comprises adjacent layers of corrugated foil, the adjacent layers of corrugated foil lying against one another in a position that the corrugations do not intermesh. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining the monolith comprises forming the monolith with built-in temporary barriers that fills between adjacent layers and thereby limits limit the volume accessible from the space into which the injection is made. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the obtaining a multipath monolith comprises laying corrugated foil against one another with the corrugations at cross angles. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the multipath monolith has a greater number of openings at one end than fluidly isolated channels within its interior. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein adjacent foils of the multipath monolith make contact that is point-wise rather than line-wise. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the space within the monolith into which the material is injected consists of a single interconnected volume. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the open space between layers consists of two fluidly isolated volumes. 18. A method of manufacturing a partially catalyst-coated monolith, comprising the steps of: forming a monolith substrate by a process comprising:obtaining one or more sheets;texturing at least one of the sheets to form corrugations;emplacing a temporary barrier material adjacent to at least one of the sheets;folding, stacking, or rolling the one or more sheets to form them into a layered structure having open space between layers, the open space resulting from the corrugations, the layered structure having an overall monolith shape, the monolith shape having two opposing open ends along which edges of the sheets are exposed and a perimeter closing the volume between the open ends;wherein the temporary barrier material is emplaced to fill between adjacent layers and thereby block access to some of the volume between the open ends;coating a limited portion of the monolith substrate with a catalyst composition, wherein the extent of coating is limited at least in part by the temporary barrier material; andremoving the temporary barrier material from the monolith;wherein coating is limited to surfaces of the substrate bounding from about 10 percent to about 90 percent of the space between layers;wherein the monolith substrate is a multipath monolith substrate and the coating step comprises placing the monolith between pads that seal off the ends of the monolith and injecting material into the substrate through one or more ports in the pads;wherein the temporary barrier material is positioned to block access to a greater portion of the open volume than the volume filled by the temporary barrier material;wherein the multipath monolith comprises flow paths defined by the corrugations and wherein the flow paths are interconnected.
