n catalysts (DOC) have been used to treat CO (carbon monoxide) and HC (hydrocarbons). Gasoline engines generally use a three-way oxidation-reduction catalyst* to treat harmful substances such as CO, HC, and nitrogen oxides (NOx). On the other hand, in the case of diesel engines, three-way catalysts cannot reduce NOx in the presence of the excess oxygen in the exhaust gas. As a measure to deal with NOx, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) control has ...
