Abstract
A method for controlling an SCR catalytic converter (20, 30), comprising detecting (200) concentration values (314, 324; 414, 424) in the exhaust gas downstream of the catalytic converter (20), wherein at least one concentration value for NH3 and one concentration value for NOx is detected; calculating (202) modeled concentration values (316, 322; 416, 422) for NH3 and NOx downstream of the catalytic converter on the basis of a catalytic converter model, wherein the model comprises an aging parameter (342, 442) which at least partially describes aging of the modeled catalytic converter; comparing (208) the detected concentration values with the modeled concentration values; and, in a manner dependent on the result of the comparison, changing the aging parameter (342, 442) of the model and/or changing a predefined dosing quantity for a reducing agent in the SCR catalytic converter.
