COMPOSITIONS UTILISABLES COMME PIEGE A NOx, A BASE DE MANGANESE ET D'UN ALCALIN OU D'UN ALCALINO-TERREUX ET UTILISATION DANS LE TRAITEMENT DES GAZ D'ECHAPPEMENT

摘要

The invention concerns compositions used as NOx trap, based on manganese and an alkaline or an alkaline-earth and their use for treating exhaust gases. Said compositions comprise a carrier and an active phase; and they are characterised in that the active phase is based on manganese and at least another element A selected among alkalines or alkaline-earths, the manganese and element A being chemically bound. Said compositions can be used in a process for treating gases to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, as NOx traps, said gases being derived from internal combustion engines and in particular diesel engines or lean-burn engines.
