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.

In an internal combustion engine, a metal or a metal compound (10) capable of capturing a sulfur component contained in an exhaust gas is provided in a flow path of the exhaust gas. When the amount of the sulfur content captured by the metal or the metal compound (10) is increased as the lapse of time, a physical property of the metal or the metal compound (10) which varies with increase in the amount of the captured sulfur component is measured. Based on the measurement value, the sulfur component in the gas can be detected.

In an internal combustion engine, an SOx sensor (16) having a sensor part (53, 60) trapping the SOx contained in the exhaust gas and able to detect the amount of SOx trapped at the sensor part (53, 60) from a change of property of the sensor part (53, 60) is arranged in the engine exhaust passage upstream of the NOx storing catalyst (14). When estimating the amount of SOx stored in the NOx storing catalyst (14) from the amount of SOx trapped at the sensor part (53, 60), deviation of the estimated value of the amount of stored SOx arising due to the difference between the SOx trapping rate of the sensor part (53, 60) and the SOx trapping rate of the NOx storing catalyst (14) is corrected.
摘要:
An SOx trap catalyst able to trap SOx contained in the exhaust gas is arranged in an engine exhaust passage upstream of an NOx storing catalyst in an internal combustion engine. When the SOx trap rate of the SOx trap catalyst falls, fuel is added in the exhaust gas flowing into the SOx trap catalyst to form in the SOx trap catalyst a region in which an air-fuel ratio becomes locally rich. SOx released from the SOx trap catalyst in this region can be trapped in the SOx trap catalyst at the downstream side once again without flowing out from the downstream end of the SOx trap catalyst.

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.

HC feed control for feeding HC into exhaust gas upstream of an SOx trap 11 when a predetermined condition stands is executed. When an SOx trap amount is smaller than a predetermined amount, as HC feed control, first HC feed control feeding HC into the exhaust gas upstream of the SOx trap by a predetermined pattern is executed. When the SOx trap amount is larger than a predetermined amount, as HC feed control, second HC feed control feeding HC into the exhaust gas upstream of the SOx trap by a pattern different from the predetermined pattern, which pattern keeping the temperature of the SOx trap from locally becoming higher than the predetermined temperature or suppressing the formation of a region in the exhaust gas flowing into the SOx trap where the air-fuel ratio becomes locally rich, is executed.

摘要:
An NOx absorbent is installed in an exhaust conduit of an internal combustion engine capable of fuel combustion at lean air-fuel ratios. An oxygen concentration is repeatedly or continuously decreased by, for example, switching the air-fuel from the lean air-fuel ratio to a stoichiometric or rich air fuel ratio when the exhaust gas temperature is higher than 550.degree. C. or when NOx absorbent temperature is higher than 500.degree. C. As a result, the SOx absorbed in the NOx absorbent during lean air-fuel ratio, low temperature operation is released from the NOx absorbent, and the SOx-poisoned NOx absorbent is recovered.
摘要:
An exhaust purification device of an engine providing a NO.sub.x absorbent arranged in the exhaust passage. An O.sub.2 sensor generating a current proportional to the air-fuel ratio is arranged in the engine exhaust passage downstream of the NO.sub.x absorbent. The amount of NO.sub.x actually absorbed in the NO.sub.x absorbent at the time of release of the NO.sub.x is calculated on the basis of the output signal of this O.sub.2 sensor. On the basis of this calculated amount of NO.sub.x, correction is made so that the estimated amount of NO.sub.x represents the actual amount of absorption of NO.sub.x. When this corrected estimated amount of NO.sub.x reaches a set value, the action of releasing the NO.sub.x from the NO.sub.x absorbent is carried out.
