摘要:
The method for purifying combustion exhaust gas according to the present invention utilizes a NH 3 decomposing catalyst. The NH 3 decomposing catalyst in the present invention is capable of converting substantially all of the NH 3 in the combustion exhaust gas to N 2 when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean and the temperature of the catalyst is within a predetermined optimum temperature range. Further, when the exhaust gas contains NO x in addition to NH 3 , the NH 3 decomposing catalyst is capable of reducing the NO x in the optimum temperature range even though the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean. In the present invention, the conditions of the exhaust gas containing NO x are adjusted before it is fed to the NH 3 decomposing catalyst in such a manner that the temperature of the exhaust gas is within the optimum temperature range and the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean. Further, NH 3 is added to the exhaust gas before it is fed to the NH 3 decomposing catalyst. Therefore, a lean air-fuel ratio exhaust gas, at a temperature within the optimum temperature range, which contains both the NO x and NH 3 is fed to the NH 3 decomposing catalyst, and the NO x , as well as the NH 3 , in the exhaust gas is completely resolved by the NH 3 decomposing catalyst.
摘要:
A device for determining the abnormal degree of deterioration of catalyst of a catalytic converter arranged in an internal combustion engine exhaust system is disclosed. The device comprises ability value grasping means for grasping an ability value in relation with a current purification ability of the catalyst and varying amount grasping means for grasping a varying amount of the ability value grasped by the ability value grasping means. It is determined that the degree of deterioration of the catalyst is abnormal when the varying amount grasped by the varying amount grasping means is smaller than a predetermined value.
