The invention relates to a wall-flow filter for cleaning exhaust gases from engines, with parallel exhaust gas inlet channels and exhaust gas outlet channels which are closed at alternate ends, said filter additionally comprising catalyst channels which are closed at both ends and contain a catalyst in solid form. The invention also relates to production methods and uses of the filter for cleaning exhaust gases, particularly from diesel engines.

The invention relates to a method for reactivating a system composed of an oxidation catalytic converter () followed by a possibly catalytically coated particle filter (), and to a correspondingly adapted exhaust-gas purification system for lean-burn engines () with low pressure EGR (). The present invention relates in particular to the reactivation of such a system during overrun operation of the engine.

Method and device for reactivating exhaust-gas purification systems of diesel engines with low-pressure EGR

The invention relates to a method for regenerating nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters and to a correspondingly adapted exhaust-gas purification system for lean-burn engines. In particular, the present invention relates to the regeneration of nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters during special driving situations of the vehicle.

Method for regenerating NOx storage catalytic converters of diesel engines with low-pressure EGR

The invention relates to a method for removing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from the exhaust gas of lean-burn internal combustion engines, said exhaust gas being passed over a catalyst which contains platinum supported on one or more refractory supporting materials, pure cerium oxide, and optionally an additional noble metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium and rhodium, wherein the pure cerium oxide is in close contact with the noble metal.

Method for removing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from the exhaust gas of lean-burn internal combustion engines

The present invention relates to a regulating strategy for a special catalytic converter for exhaust-gas aftertreatment. The catalytic converter concept is distinguished in that at least two nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters are used in the exhaust section of a vehicle. The first, possibly close-coupled unit is followed by one or more nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters, which are possibly situated in the underbody of the vehicle. The nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters are then regenerated as a function of the exceedance of nitrogen oxide threshold vales downstream thereof.

Regulating strategy for a catalytic converter concept for exhaust-gas aftertreatment having a plurality of nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters

The present invention relates to an exhaust-gas aftertreatment system which comprises a preferably catalytically active particle filter (wall-flow filter) which is followed in turn by a throughflow monolith (flow-through monolith) which is preferably provided with a catalytically active function. Both components have the same storage functions for gaseous substances present in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. The system is suitable in particular for the simultaneous removal of particles and pollutants from the exhaust gas of both predominantly lean-operated internal combustion engines and also of internal combustion engines operated predominantly with a stoichiometric air/fuel mixture. Likewise described is a process for the production and the use of such a system for exhaust-gas aftertreatment.
