Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated system for the treatment of exhaust gases, which preferably consists of at least one NO-storing component, at least one in situ ammonia-generating component, at least one ammonia-storing component and at least one ammonia (NH)-SCR-component, as well as to a process for the treatment of exhaust gas comprising at least the steps (i) storing of NOunder lean exhaust gas conditions in at least one NO-storing component; (ii) in situ conversion of the stored NOto ammonia (NH) under rich exhaust gas conditions; (iii) storing of the ammonia (NH) in at least one NH-storing component under rich exhaust gas conditions as well as the (iv) reaction of NHwith NOunder lean exhaust gas conditions. Thereby, the partial steps 'storing of NO' and 'conversion of NHwith NO' are carried out at least partially and/or temporarily simultaneously and/or parallelly. Furthermore, preferred catalysts are disclosed for carrying out the process.
