These regulations have been complied to minimize the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), nitrogen oxides (NO x) and particulate matter (PM) from gasoline and diesel vehicles engines. Different after-treatment systems (ATS) have been developed for the treatment of exhaust gases from gasoline and diesel engines, respectively. The ATS for gasoline engine based on the three-way catalysts (TWCs), as well as the ATS for diesel engines including diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel particulate filters (DPF) and ammonia slip catalysts (ASC), are summarized in this mini-review.
