Abstract
A method for reducing nitrogen oxides including NO and NO2 in an exhaust stream also including oxygen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at a temperature above about 150° C. includes oxidizing NO in the exhaust stream to NO2, adding diesel fuel hydrocarbons and their oxygenates to the exhaust stream for the reduction of nitrogen oxides, and flowing the exhaust stream through a dual bed catalyst system including a first bed and a second bed, wherein the first bed is a single layer catalyst bed and the second bed is a double layer catalyst bed including a first layer and a second layer to reduce the nitrogen oxides to N2.
