Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent discharge of high-concentration sulfur components when sulfur poisoning amount of an exhaust emission control catalyst of an internal combustion engine becomes excessive. SOLUTION: When S components accumulate on the exhaust emission control catalyst, PM accumulation amount PMsm is increased and the frequency of lean-burn temperature increase treatment in PM regeneration control is increased (S102). As a result, the S components accumulated on the exhaust emission control catalyst are released by using the lean-burn temperature increase treatment in the PM regeneration control. Therefore, even when there is no chance to realize a sulfur poisoning recovery execution region and S poisoning becomes excessive, the lean-burn temperature increase treatment in the PM regeneration control can be performed in such a manner that excessive S components on the exhaust emission control catalyst can be released by this lean-burn temperature increase treatment. Since the S components released by the lean-burn temperature increase treatment is excessive part of the accumulated S components and the frequency of the lean-burn temperature increase treatment is high, the concentration of S components to be released can be suppressed. Accordingly, the problem is solved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accurately determining deterioration of a function of each element constituting an exhaust emission control system as failure, in the exhaust emission control system for an internal combustion engine provided with a catalyst having an oxidizing function in an upstream side of a NO X catalyst occluding and reducing NO X in exhaust gas, performing control to add fuel to the exhaust gas in accordance with the temperature of the exhaust gas. SOLUTION: In the exhaust emission control system for the internal combustion engine, difference in temperature between the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out of the NO X catalyst and the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing in the NO X catalyst is detected or estimated. When an amount of fuel to be added in adding the fuel to the exhaust gas by the control for adding the fuel to the exhaust gas to make the temperature of the exhaust gas coincide with the prescribed temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds the prescribed amount to be added (S100) and the detected or estimated difference in temperature of the exhaust gas is not less than the prescribed temperature difference (S101), it is determined that the oxidizing function of the upstream exhaust emission control catalyst is deteriorated.
