Zusammenfassung:In a method for operating an emission control system having nitrogen oxide storage, for cleaning up a nitrogen oxide-containing, sulfur-contaminated exhaust gas from combustion equipment, from time to time desulfating phases are performed for releasing sulfur intercalated in the nitrogen oxide storage. Two desulfating modes are provided, namely, a main desulfating mode for substantially completely desulfating the nitrogen oxide storage and a partial desulfating mode for partially desulfating same, a lower nitrogen oxide storage minimum temperature and a shorter desulfating target duration being predefined for the partial desulfating processes than for the main desulfating processes. The method may be used, for example, in emission control systems of predominantly lean-combustion operated Otto engines of motor vehicles.
