Abstract
A method for remediating a NOx-containing lean diesel emission includes providing a LNT/SCR catalyst system including a SCR catalyst and a first and second LNT. The SCR catalyst is disposed downstream of the second LNT which is disposed downstream of the first LNT. The lean NOx-containing diesel emission is introduced to the first LNT with the NOx being absorbed on to the first LNT forming a substantially NOx-free lean diesel emission. An exotherm generating agent is introduced to the substantially NOx-free diesel emission between the first LNT and the second LNT to form a reactive lean diesel emission. The reactive lean diesel emission is introduced to the second LNT generating a quantity of heat effective for desorbing absorbed NOx. A reducing agent is introduced into the desorbed NOx between the second LNT and SCR catalyst. The desorbed NOx diesel emission is remediated in the SCR catalyst.
