A post-combustion engine exhaust gases absorber is an apparatus that scrubs greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants from a post-tailpipe combustion engine exhaust. The apparatus reduces pollutants that could enter the atmosphere to reduce the environmental impact of the combustion engine. The apparatus includes an elongated housing, a distal dry filter, a biofilter, a distal motorized exhaust fan, a wet filter, a controller, and a portable power source. The elongated housing allows the apparatus to be attached to the exit of the combustion engine exhaust system. The distal dry filter, the biofilter, and the wet filter collectively remove the pollutants from the exhaust flow. The distal motorized exhaust fan drives the exhaust flow through the elongated housing so that the exhaust flow moves through the distal dry filter, the biofilter, and the wet filter. The controller and the portable power source enable the autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of the apparatus.

Provided is an exhaust gas purification system that allows suppressing the emission of carbon monoxide (CO). An exhaust gas purification system includes a three-way catalyst and a particulate filter and a control device. The three-way catalyst and the particulate filter are arranged respectively on an upstream side and a downstream side of an exhaust channel connected to an internal combustion engine. The control device controls the internal combustion engine so as to execute fuel cut during a deceleration operation of the internal combustion engine. The particulate filter includes a honeycomb substrate and an outflow cell side catalyst layer. The honeycomb substrate includes a porous partition wall defining a plurality of cells extending from an inflow side end surface to an outflow side end surface. The plurality of cells include an inflow cell and an outflow cell adjacent across the partition wall. The inflow cell has an open inflow side end and a sealed outflow side end. The outflow cell has a sealed inflow side end and an open outflow side end. The outflow cell side catalyst layer is disposed on an outflow cell side catalyst region extending from an outflow side end to a position apart toward an inflow side of the partition wall along an extending direction.

Methods and systems are provided for a HC trap in a bypass passage. In one example, a method may include closing a diverter valve to flow exhaust gas from a main exhaust passage to the bypass passage during a cold-start.

An exhaust system may include first purification device disposed at a rear end portion of exhaust manifold and including Lean NOx Trap (LNT); second purification device disposed at rear end portion of the first purification device and including a diesel particulate filter (DPF); and a third purification device disposed at a rear end portion of the second purification device and including a selective catalytic reduction (SCR), wherein the DPF of the second purification device includes at least one inflow channel, at least one outflow channel, at least one wall disposed between the inflow channel and the outflow channel and extended in a longitudinal direction, and a support disposed inside of at least one of the inflow channel and the outflow channel, and at least one catalyst is coated on one of the inner wall of the inflow channel, the inner wall of the outflow channel, and the support.

A NO.sub.x trap catalyst is disclosed. The NO.sub.x trap catalyst comprises a noble metal, a NO.sub.x storage component, a support, and a first ceria-containing material. The first ceria-containing material is pre-aged prior to incorporation into the NOx trap catalyst, and may have a surface area of less than 80 m.sup.2/g. The invention also includes exhaust systems comprising the NO.sub.x trap catalyst, and a method for treating exhaust gas utilizing the NO.sub.x trap catalyst.

Directing exhaust gas around a catalyst may pre-heat the catalyst and may thereby bring the catalyst quickly in its operating temperature range. An exhaust gas treatment system for treating the exhaust gas may include a first flow path, a second flow path, and a control system. The first flow path may include a catalyst. The second flow path may be coaxially arranged in heat exchange relation with respect to the first flow path. The control system may be configured to control the flow of exhaust gas through the first flow path or the second flow path dependent upon the catalyst temperature.

The exhaust gas treatment system comprises: one or more catalytic articles selected from a three-way conversion catalyst (TWC), a lean NOx trap (LNT), and an integrated LNT-TWC; a platinum-containing catalytic article downstream from the one or more catalytic articles; and one or more selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic articles immediately downstream from the platinum-containing catalytic article, the one or more SCR catalytic articles including a molecular sieve. The system stabilizes the SCR catalytic article from poisoning by sulfur.

A method of manufacturing a catalyzed particulate filter may include: preparing a bare particulate filter including at least one inlet channel which may have a first end being open and a second end being blocked, at least one outlet channel which may have a first end being blocked and a second end being open and which is positioned alternately with the at least one inlet channel, at least one porous wall which defines a boundary between adjacent inlet and outlet channels, and a support which is located within at least one among the at least one inlet channel and the at least one outlet channel; injecting a catalyst slurry into the at least one inlet channel and the at least one outlet channel; discharging a portion of the catalyst slurry by blowing gas into or drawing the gas from the at least one inlet channel or the at least one outlet channel; and drying/calcining the particulate filter from which the portion of the catalyst slurry is discharged.
