Abstract
The invention concerns materials for eliminating oxides of nitrogen NO and NO2 present in exhaust gases, in particular from the internal combustion engines of automotive vehicles operating in a medium which is super-stoichiometric in oxidising agents, which can adsorb oxides of nitrogen then desorb the oxides of nitrogen by elevating the temperature with respect to the adsorption temperature or by passage of rich mixture, said materials comprising mixed oxides the metals of which are in octahedral coordination, with the octahedra connecting together so that the structure generates micropores in the form of channels. These materials adsorb oxides of nitrogen by insertion and do not become poisoned in contact with oxides of sulphur and carbon contained in the gases. In the presence of a group VIII metal, these materials are capable of eliminating oxides of nitrogen absorded by reduction during passage of a rich mixture.
