The present description provides high working capacity adsorbents with low DBL bleed emission performance properties that allows the design of evaporative fuel emission control systems that are lower cost, simpler and more compact than those possible by prior art. Emission control canister systems comprising the adsorbent material demonstrate a relatively high gasoline working capacity, and low emissions.

Exhaust purification system and methods for the reduction of emissions from an exhaust stream, including an upstream catalyst coupled with a passive NO.sub.x adsorber catalyst; means to contact the exhaust stream with ozone, to react NO in the exhaust stream with the ozone to produce NO.sub.2; and an SCR catalyst.

A passive NO.sub.x adsorber is disclosed. The passive NO.sub.x adsorber is effective to adsorb NO.sub.x at or below a low temperature and release the adsorbed NO.sub.x at temperatures above the low temperature. The passive NO.sub.x adsorber comprises a noble metal and a molecular sieve having an OFF Framework Type. The invention also includes an exhaust system comprising the passive NO.sub.x adsorber, and a method for treating exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine utilizing the passive NO.sub.x adsorber.

An evaporative emission control canister system comprises an initial adsorbent volume having an effective incremental adsorption capacity at 25? C. of greater than 35 grams n-butane/L between vapor concentration of 5 vol % and 50 vol % n-butane, and at least one subsequent adsorbent volume having an effective incremental adsorption capacity at 25? C. of less than 35 grams n-butane/L between vapor concentration of 5 vol % and 50 vol % n-butane, an effective butane working capacity (BWC) of less than 3 g/dL, and a g-total BWC of between 2 grams and 6 grams. The evaporative emission control canister system has a two-day diurnal breathing loss (DBL) emissions of no more than 20 mg at no more than 210 liters of purge applied after the 40 g/hr butane loading step.

The invention relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine, where the device comprises: an exhaust duct allowing a through-flow of exhaust gas; a catalytic NOx converter arranged in the exhaust duct; and a fluid inlet arranged to introduce a liquid reductant into or onto a structure in the exhaust duct upstream the catalytic NOx converter. The invention is characterized in that the structure is a sorption structure having pores configured to retain the liquid reductant in liquid form until it evaporates. The invention also relates to a vehicle provided with such a device.

Controlling exhaust after-treatment in a heavy-duty motor vehicle includes operating a diesel engine of a heavy-duty truck such that the diesel engine generates an exhaust gas flow that enters an exhaust after-treatment system of the heavy-duty truck, the exhaust after-treatment system including a selective catalytic reduction system, measuring a level of NO.sub.x gases in the exhaust gas flow downstream of the selective catalytic reduction system, and controlling a diesel exhaust fluid injector upstream of the selective catalytic reduction system to inject diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust gas flow upstream of the selective catalytic reduction system at an injection rate that is based on the measured level of NO.sub.x gases.

An engine system includes a compression ignition diesel engine connected with an aftertreatment system. A source of diesel fuel, which may have a high sulfur content, is fluidly connected to the engine. The aftertreatment system includes a particle trap fluidly positioned between the engine and the tailpipe, and an SCR catalyst fluidly positioned on the particle trap or between the particle trap and the engine. The SCR catalyst is a sulfur tolerant SCR catalyst. A non-thermal particle trap regeneration system includes a valve fluidly positioned between a particulate volume and an inlet to the particle trap. A reductant system has a doser positioned, possibly in the exhaust manifold, to deliver a reductant into the aftertreatment system upstream from the SCR catalyst.
