  • Patent number: 8105559
    Abstract: A method of reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) present in a lean gas stream comprising nitric oxide (NO) comprises the steps of: (i) net adsorbing NO per se from the lean gas stream in an adsorbent comprising palladium and a cerium oxide at below 200° C.; (ii) thermally net desorbing NO from the NO adsorbent in a lean gas stream at 200° C. and above; and (iii) catalytically reducing NOx on a catalyst other than the NO adsorbent with a reductant selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon reductant, a nitrogenous reductant, hydrogen and a mixture of any two or more thereof. A system for carrying out such a method is also disclosed.
