METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DECOMPOSING OXIDES OF NITROGEN IN THE EXHAUST GASES FROM AN INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A method and a device for decomposing nitrogen oxides in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, include feeding the exhaust gas and a reactant which is sprayed into the exhaust gas through the use of compressed air, to a catalytic converter. A compressor for supplying compressed air is associated with the internal combustion engine, and part of the compressed air is diverted and used as the compressed air for injecting the reactant. The sprayed reactant is fed to the catalytic converter, together with the exhaust gas to be purified, which ensures the decomposition of the nitrogen oxides, in particular according to the method of selective catalytic reaction.
