Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0149985A1] A method for the regeneration of a NOx store, in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine is disclosed, whereby, in the case of an excess of oxygen in the exhaust gas, NOx is removed from the exhaust gas and in the case of an oxygen deficiency, NOx is regenerated by the addition of nitrogen. Said method comprises alternating between a first phase, with an oxygen excess and a second phase, with an oxygen deficiency in the exhaust gas, whereby the oxygen deficiency in the exhaust gas, for regeneration of the storage catalyst, is generated by a fixed, constantly maintained mass of excess fuel in the exhaust gas prior to the NOx store.
