A system and method for the control of emissions from a diesel engine exhaust, comprises a catalyst (14) to convert NO to NO2, a filter (16) to trap soot and hold it for combustion with the NO2, and a NOx absorber (28), with means to regenerate the NOx absorber by injecting reductant or other reacta
A system and method for the control of emissions from a diesel engine exhaust, comprises a catalyst (14) to convert NO to NO2, a filter (16) to trap soot and hold it for combustion with the NO2, and a NOx absorber (28), with means to regenerate the NOx absorber by injecting reductant or other reactant (injector 18) upstream of the absorber, and at least during regeneration, passing the exhaust gases leaving the absorber through a three-way catalyst (30).

1. A system for treating combustion exhaust gas, which system comprises a catalyst effective to promote oxidation of at least NO to NO2; a filter downstream of the oxidation catalyst, which filter being effective to collect soot and hold it for combustion reaction with the NO2 in the gas; a NOx absorber downstream of the filter, which NOx absorber is charged with solid adsorbent; means for introducing intermittently a regenerant of the absorber between the filter and the absorber, which means being effective to inject a NOx-specific reactant upstream of the absorber; and a catalyst system effective to promote reactions of hydrocarbons (HC) and CO with O2 to H2O and CO2 and to convert NOx to N2, wherein said catalyst system is at least one of: (1) associated with the absorber; or (2) located downstream of the absorber.2. A system according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst system is associated with the absorber.3. A system according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst system is disposed in a separate bed downstream of the absorber.4. A system according to claim 1, wherein the NOx absorbent comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (a) alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, rare earth metals and transition metals or a mixed oxide of any two or more thereof; and (b) zeolites, carbons and/or oxides.5. A system according to claim 1, wherein the NOx absorbent comprises a mixed oxide selected from the group consisting of Ba?Cu?O and MnO2?BaCuO2.6. A system according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst system comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of vanadia/titania and one or more platinum group metal.7. A system according to claim 1, wherein the injection means is arranged to inject the reactant upstream of the filter.8. A system according to claim 7, wherein the injection means is arranged to inject the reactant upstream of the oxidation catalyst.9. A system according to claim 1, wherein the injection means is arranged to inject the reactant downstream of the filter.10. A system according to claim 1, wherein the filter is catalysed.11. A system according to claim 1, wherein the injection means is for injecting ammonia, hydrazine, urea or aqueous urea solution.12. A process for treating combustion exhaust gas containing CO, hydrocarbons (HC), NO, O2, soot and non-reactive gases, comprising the steps of: (i) catalysing oxidation of NO to NO2; (ii) collecting soot on a filter; (iii) combusting the collected soot by reaction with NO2; (iv) removing NOx from the product of step (iii) by contacting a regenerable NOx absorbent with gas containing NOx; (v) regenerating the absorbent intermittently by injecting a NOx-specific reactant downstream of the filter and upstream of the absorbent; and (vi) at least during step (v), contacting a catalyst system effective to promote reactions of HC and CO with O2 to H2O and CO2 and to convert NOx to N2 with the gas product of step (v).13. A process according to claim 12, wherein the reactant is injected into: (a) lean exhaust gas as generated by the engine or the product of a preceding step of exhaust treatment; or (b) gas made leaner when the NOx-specific reactant is injected with air.14. A process according to claim 12, wherein the NOx-specific reactant is ammonia or hydrazine and is injected as such or as a precursor compound decomposable thereto in situ.15. A process according to claim 14, wherein the precursor is urea or aqueous urea solution.16. A process according to claim 12, wherein the exhaust gas is the product of combustion of fuel containing less than 50 ppm w/w of sulphur.17. A system according to claim 1, wherein the NOx absorbent comprises at least one mixed oxide selected from the group consisting of CeO2, Y?Ba?Cu?O and Y?Sr?Co?O.
