    摘要: A metal compound (50) able to trap a sulfur component in exhaust gas is arranged in a flow path of the exhaust gas, a property of the metal compound (50) changing along with an increase of the amount of sulfur component trapped at the metal compound (50) is measured, and the cumulative value of the amount of SOX actually contained in the exhaust gas is calculated from the measured property. On the other hand, the assumed cumulative value of the amount of SOx, assumed to be contained in the exhaust gas when assuming that fuel or oil of a sulfur concentration assumed in advance is used, is calculated. It is judged if fuel or oil with a high sulfur concentration is being used from the actual cumulative value of the amount of SOX and the assumed cumulative value of the amount of SOx.

    摘要: There are provided a NOx storage reduction catalyst which is provided in an exhaust passage for an engine, and a sulfur concentration sensor which can detect a total concentration of SOx and H2S in exhaust gas that has passed through the NOx catalyst, and a concentration of SOx in the exhaust gas. An operating state of the engine is controlled such that SOx is released from the NOx catalyst (sulfur poisoning recovery process). When a concentration of the hydrogen sulfide obtained based on the total concentration and the concentration of SOx that are detected by the sulfur concentration sensor during the sulfur poisoning recovery process exceeds a permissible limit, an operating state of the engine is controlled such that the sulfur oxide is released from the NOx catalyst, an amount of the released sulfur oxide is in a predetermined range, and the concentration of the hydrogen sulfide is reduced.

    摘要: The exhaust gas purification device includes a NO.sub.x absorbent disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine. The engine is mainly operated at a lean air-fuel ratio. The NO.sub.x absorbent absorbs NO.sub.x in the exhaust gas from the engine when the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent is at a lean air-fuel ratio, and releases the NO.sub.x absorbed therein and reduces it when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes a rich air-fuel ratio. A control circuit is provided for controlling the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine. When the ignition switch of the engine is turned off, the control circuit continues the engine operation for a predetermined period before terminating the engine operation. During this engine operation, the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine is controlled at a rich air-fuel ratio to supply exhaust gas with a rich air-fuel ratio to the NO.sub.x absorbent. Therefore, NO.sub.x absorbed and held therein when the ignition switch is turned off is released and reduced by the rich air-fuel ratio exhaust gas from the engine. Since the NO.sub.x absorbent is maintained at the condition where no NO.sub.x remains in the NO.sub.x absorbent after the engine has stopped, unreduced NO.sub.x is not released from the NO.sub.x absorbent even if the NO.sub.x absorbent is cooled after the engine has stopped.

    摘要: An apparatus for, and a method of, purifying exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine reduces fuel consumption under a lean operating condition and generates high torque under a rich operating condition without deteriorating the cleanness of exhaust gas and the driveability of the engine. The apparatus and method improve the durability of a variable valve timing mechanism of the engine. The engine operation involves lean and rich operating conditions. The variable valve timing mechanism of the apparatus changes the open and close timing of at least one of intake and exhaust valves of the engine. The apparatus further has a catalytic converter in an exhaust system, to occlude NOx under the lean operating condition and discharge and reduce the occluded NOx under the rich operating condition. The apparatus also has a prohibition unit for prohibiting the variable valve timing mechanism from changing the valve open and close timing of the valves when the air-fuel ratio of the engine is changed from lean to rich to discharge and reduce the occluded NOx.
