摘要:
In an exhaust gas purification device, an exhaust gas passage of a diesel engine diverges into two branch pipes and a particulate filter (DPF) is disposed in each of the branch pipes. The DPF uses a metallic substrate and NO.sub.x absorbent is attached to the wall of the paths in the DPF. Therefore, the DPF act as both a normal particulate filter and a NO.sub.x absorbent. During the operation of the engine, SO.sub.x, as well as NO.sub.x, in the exhaust gas is absorbed in the NO.sub.x absorbent in the DPF. An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors the amount of SO.sub.x absorbed in the DPF during the operation and, when the amount of SO.sub.x absorbed in one DPF increases, switches the exhaust gas flow to the other DPF. The ECU further performs the SO.sub.x recovery operation to release the absorbed SO.sub.x from the DPF. After completing the SO.sub.x recovery operation, the ECU performs the regenerating operation of the DPF in which the particulate matter trapped in the DPF is burned. Since SO.sub.x in DPF is already released by the previous SO.sub.x recovery operation when the regenerating operation of the DPF is performed, the growth of sulfate particle in the DPF does not occur even if the DPF is exposed to a high temperature lean air-fuel ratio atmosphere of the regenerating operation.

An NO.sub.x absorbent (19) is disposed in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and an NO.sub.x oxidizing agent (18) is disposed in the exhaust passage upstream of the NO.sub.x absorbent (19). The NO.sub.x absorbent (19) absorbs the NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent (19) is lean and releases the absorbed NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent (19) becomes the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or rich. When the lean air-fuel mixture is burned, if the temperature of the NO.sub.x absorbent (19) is low, the NO.sub.x oxidized by the NO.sub.x oxidizing agent (18) is absorbed by the NO.sub.x absorbent (19), while if the temperature of the NO.sub.x absorbent (19) is high, the NO.sub.x is oxidized by the NO.sub.x absorbent (19) and absorbed in the NO.sub.x absorbent (19).
摘要:
An exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine includes an engine capable of fuel combustion at lean air-fuel ratios, a catalyst constructed of zeolite carrying at least one metal selected from the transition metals and noble metals to reduce NOx under oxidizing gas conditions and in the presence of HC. The exhaust gas purification system also includes a device for determining degradation of the catalyst, and a device for increasing the amount of HC or changing a catalyst temperature to a higher side when it is determined that the catalyst has been degraded. The NOx purification rate of the catalyst is maintained high even after the catalyst has been degraded.

The purpose of the present invention is to suppress degradation of a PM sensor and a decrease in detection accuracy of the amount of PM in a configuration in which a urea addition unit and a selective reduction-type NOx catalyst (NOx catalyst) are provided downstream of a particulate filter (filter) in an internal combustion engine exhaust passage, the PM sensor being disposed downstream of the filter. According to the present invention, in an exhaust passage (2) of an internal combustion engine (1), a first NOx catalyst (4) and a second NOx catalyst (5) are disposed downstream of a filter (3) successively from the upstream side along the flow of exhaust. A urea addition unit (6) is disposed between the filter (3) and the first NOx catalyst (4). A PM sensor (7) is disposed between the first NOx catalyst (4) and the second NOx catalyst (5).

An internal combustion engine in an engine exhaust passage of which an exhaust purification catalyst (13) having an oxidation function is arranged and in the engine exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust purification catalyst (13) of which a small-sized oxidation catalyst (14) and a fuel feed valve (15) for feeding fuel to the small-sized oxidation catalyst (14) are arranged. When activating the exhaust purification catalyst (13), the fuel fed from the fuel injector (15) is used to heat the small-sized oxidation catalyst (14) and when the exhaust purification catalyst (13) is further raised in temperature, the fuel fed from the fuel feed valve (15) is increased and reformed fuel is exhausted from the small-sized oxidation catalyst (14).

An SOX trap catalyst (11) in which at least one of an alkali metal and alkali earth metal is carried diffused is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. By holding the temperature of the SOX trap catalyst (11) during engine operation at the temperature where a nitrate of the at least one of the alkali metal and alkali earth metal becomes the melted state, a nitrate movement and coagulation action where the nitrate in the SOX trap catalyst (11) moves to and coagulates at the surface of the SOX trap catalyst (11) is promoted. Due to this nitrate movement and coagulation action, SOX is removed while restoring the SOX trap rate.
摘要:
In an internal combustion engine, an NOx selective reducing catalyst is arranged inside an engine exhaust passage, an oxidation catalyst is arranged upstream of the NOx selective reducing catalyst, and an NOx adsorption catalyst is arranged upstream of the oxidation catalyst. The NOx adsorption catalyst has a property of releasing NOx when the temperature rises and a property of trapping the SOx contained in the exhaust gas. The inflow of SOx into the oxidation catalyst is suppressed by the NOx adsorption catalyst to prevent the NO released from the NOx adsorption catalyst being oxidized to NO2 at the oxidation catalyst from being obstructed by SOx.
摘要:
In an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine, a NOx selective reduction catalyst for reducing NOx with ammonia that is adsorbed on the NOx selective reduction catalyst is disposed in an exhaust passage of the engine. In the NOx selective reduction catalyst, ammonia in a first adsorption state that is adsorbed at a low temperature and ammonia in a second adsorption state that is adsorbed at a high temperature are present. Because ammonia, which has been in the first adsorption state and which is desorbed from the NOx selective reduction catalyst, tends to be discharged to the atmosphere, a control section that estimates an adsorption amount of ammonia in the first adsorption state is provided in the exhaust gas purification system for the internal combustion engine in order to control the adsorption amount of ammonia in the first adsorption state within a specified level.
