Abstract
A method and apparatus for periodically desulphating a nitrogen oxide or sulphur oxide storage vessel of an exhaust emission control system of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, in which an engine exhaust emission containing reducing agent and oxygen is fed to the nitrogen oxide or sulphur oxide storage vessel by setting a rich fuel/air ratio for a first subset of the engine cylinders and a fuel/air ratio which is, in comparison, leaner for the other cylinders. The distance between the fuel/air ratio for the first subset of the engine cylinders and that for the second subset of the engine cylinders is set higher in an initial storage vessel heating-up phase than in the subsequent desulphation mode, and/or control errors of the entire fuel/air ratio are eliminated by a predefinable set point value by modifying the fuel/air ratio either of just the first subset or just the second subset of the engine cylinders. Used, for example, in motor vehicles.
