Abstract

An after-treatment system architecture and method for oxidizing the nitric oxide component of a gas stream are disclosed. One embodiment may include treatment of a gas stream that includes NOx with a perovskite catalyst of the general formula ABO3 or a modified formula of ABO3 wherein a small amount of a promoter material is substituted for a portion of at least one of element A or element B in a catalytic oxidation reaction to oxidize nitric oxide in the gas stream.
