Provided are selective catalytic reduction catalytic articles, emission treatment systems and methods for simultaneously remediating the nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and gaseous hydrocarbons present in diesel engine exhaust streams. The catalytic articles have a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst uniformly coated over the outlet portion of wall flow filter walls resulting in reduction of NO2 and combustion of the soot without substantially increasing the system backpressure.

1. A catalytic article comprising a wall flow filter having a plurality of longitudinally extending passages formed by longitudinally extending porous walls having substantially uniform porosity in cross-section bounding and defining the passages wherein the passages comprise inlet passages having an open inlet end and a closed outlet end, and outlet passages having a closed inlet end and an open outlet end, each of the porous walls having in cross-section an inlet portion and an outlet portion, the outlet portion being no greater than about 60% of the cross-sectional thickness of the porous walls, and the wall flow filter loaded with an SCR catalyst composition such that substantially all of the catalyst is distributed in the outlet portion of the porous walls. 2. The catalytic article of claim 1, wherein the SCR catalyst uniformly permeates the outlet portion of the porous walls. 3. The catalytic article of claim 1, wherein the inlet portion of the wall is substantially free of SCR catalyst composition. 4. The catalytic article of claim 3, wherein the article is effective to allow soot trapped in the inlet portion of the wall to react with NO2 and to combust the soot. 5. The catalytic article of claim 1, wherein the wall flow filter has a mean pore size in the range of about 3 and about 35 μm. 6. The catalyst of claim 1, wherein the outlet portion of the porous walls is no greater than about 50% of the cross-section of the porous walls. 7. The catalyst of claim 1, wherein the outlet portion of the porous walls is no greater than about 40% of the cross-section of the porous walls. 8. A method of treating an exhaust gas stream including NOx and soot, the method comprising passing the exhaust gas stream through the catalytic article of claim 1. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the exhaust gas entering the catalyst composition has a NO2 percentage greater than about 50% of the total NOx composition. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the outlet portion of the porous walls is no greater than about 50% of the cross-section of the porous walls. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the outlet portion of the porous walls is no greater than about 40% of the cross-section of the porous walls. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the catalytic article is effective to form a soot cake on the inlet surface of the porous walls. 13. A system for treating exhaust from a diesel engine comprising the catalytic article of claim 1 located downstream of the engine. 14. The system of claim 13, further comprising a urea injector located upstream of the catalytic article. 15. The system of claim 13, further comprising one or more of a diesel oxidation catalyst, a particulate filter, a reductant injector and an air injector.
