PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine capable of appropriately continuing S-regeneration and PM-regeneration even under a low load condition of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device for the internal combustion engine adds fuel for recovering an exhaust emission capacity of the exhaust emission control device, or the like. An electric heating type catalyst is arranged in a spray reach section by an injector and raises temperature by electricity supply. A regeneration control means executes control supplying electricity to the electric heating type catalyst and continuing S-regeneration and PM-regeneration when low load operation continues for a predetermined period of time after start of S-regeneration and PM-regeneration. Temperature of the added fuel and exhaust gas is raised and temperature of an exhaust gas passage and the exhaust emission control device rise by supplying electricity to the electric heating type catalyst in such a manner. Consequently, since the exhaust emission control device or the like can be maintained at appropriate temperature even under a low load condition of the internal combustion engine, S-regeneration and PM-regeneration can be appropriately continued.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve exhaust emission control capacity as the whole exhaust emission control system, by restraining the temperature of an exhaust emission control catalyst except for a partial exhaust emission control catalyst, from excessively lowering, while efficiently raising the temperature of part of exhaust emission control catalyst, in the exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine having: an exhaust passage branching off into a plurality of branch passages in the middle; and the exhaust emission control catalyst respectively arranged in the respective branch passages. SOLUTION: When raising the temperature of the part of exhaust emission control catalyst by a temperature raising means, a flow rate of exhaust gas flowing in a part of a branch passage provided with the part of exhaust emission control catalyst is reduced, and the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing in the branch passage except for the part of the branch passage is increased by a reduction quantity of the flow rate of the exhaust gas in the part of branch passage (S106). At this time, the reduction quantity when reducing the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing in the part of the branch passage, is determined (S104, S105) based on a difference between the temperature of the exhaust emission control catalyst arranged in the branch passage except for the part of the branch passage, and the temperature of the exhaust gas.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain an excessive temperature drop in an exhaust emission control catalyst, when an operation state of an internal combustion engine becomes a deceleration operation state, in an exhaust emission control system of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: In this invention, a catalyst 4 with a heater is arranged in an exhaust passage on the upstream side of the exhaust emission control catalyst 5, and a bypass passage 7 for bypassing the exhaust emission control catalyst 5 and the catalyst 4 with the heater, is connected to the exhaust passage 2. When the operation state of the internal combustion engine 1 becomes the deceleration operation state, an electric current is carried to the catalyst 4 with the heater, and a flow rate of exhaust gas flowing by passing through the catalyst 4 with the heater and the exhaust emission control catalyst 5, is reduced by increasing a flow rate of exhaust gas flowing in the bypass passage 7.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain the NOx purification capacity of an NOx catalyst and the filter function of a filter in a state suitable for exhaust emission control, by properly purifying NOx in exhaust gas and removing particulate matter, when performing the exhaust emission control by arranging the NOx catalyst and the filter for collecting the particulate matter, in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: A bypass passage is arranged for connecting the exhaust passage positioned between the NOx catalyst and the filter from the exhaust passage on the upstream of the NOx catalyst. A flow of exhaust gas can be switched to a first exhaust flow state being the NOx catalyst side or a second exhaust flow state being the bypass passage side. A differential pressure detecting means is arranged for detecting differential pressure between exhaust pressure in the exhaust passage on the upstream side of a branch point and exhaust pressure in the exhaust passage on the downstream side of the filter. Clogging of the NOx catalyst and/or clogging of the filter are determined on the basis of first differential pressure when the flow of the exhaust gas is put in the first exhaust flow state and second differential pressure when the flow of the exhaust gas is put in the second exhaust flow state.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure excellent fuel economy by using one fuel adding valve. SOLUTION: A postprocessing system 20 is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine, and has an expansion chamber 22 in an upstream part. The exhaust passage is branched off into a first exhaust passage 24a and a second exhaust passage 24b on the downstream end of this expansion chamber 22. In this case, NOx storage reducing catalysts 25a and 25b and particulate filters 26a and 26b are respectively arranged in the respective exhaust passages 24a and 24b. For example, when NOx must be released from the NOx storage reducing catalyst 25a, fuel is added from the fuel adding valve 33 by closing the second exhaust passage 24b by an exhaust control valve 28b.
