    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to contribute to prevention of worsening an exhaust gas emission at the time of cold starting up of an internal combustion engine by providing a technology for accurately determining the degradation of an exhaust gas purifying catalyst provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, specifically, the degradation of a low temperature activation capability of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst. In order to achieve this object, the catalyst degradation detecting device of the internal combustion engine of the present invention includes an adsorbent provided in the exhaust passage at downstream of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst, for adsorbing a predetermined component contained in the exhaust gas when a temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature range, and desorbing the adsorbed predetermined component when the temperature is within the predetermined temperature range; an adsorbing amount detector for detecting the amount of the predetermined component adsorbed in the adsorbent; and a catalyst degradation determining device for determining the degradation of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst based on a predetermined component adsorbing amount detected by the adsorbing amount detector.

    Abstract: Oxides of nitrogen are adsorbed onto the surfaces of gas passages (68) in a bed (57, 100) that has relative rotation with respect to a gas inlet distributor (76, 101). The manifold has a baffle (85) or ribs (121, 122) that causes constantly flowing engine exhaust (53) to enter the gas passages over a large portion of a revolution of the adsorption bed or the distributor, and causes constantly flowing regeneration gas (54) to thereafter pass through those passages during a small portion of each revolution. The passages may be formed by planar (66a) or helical (66b) radial walls (66), a serpentine wall (70), a monolith (126), or a honeycomb (127). Either the distributor (101) or the bed (57) may be rotated to distribute the gases.

    Abstract: Exhaust flow from an internal combustion engine is divided in a predetermined ratio between two adsorber catalysts arranged in parallel during lean operation. A regeneration cycle time is predetermined and regeneration is accomplished by injecting hydrocarbons into a catalyst leg having a reduced exhaust flow. Upon regeneration of the catalyst, the exhaust gas flow distribution is reversed and the opposite catalyst is regenerated while the regenerated catalyst bears the brunt of the exhaust flow. The exhaust flow then reverts to a normal (e.g. 50—50) flow distribution until another regeneration cycle is warranted. A catalytic soot filter placed upstream of each adsorber is also regenerated by hydrocarbon injection. The addition of the catalytic soot filter provides more time and surface area for the hydrocarbon to react with the oxygen. Some of the diesel fuel is reformulated into hydrogen and carbon monoxide for superior regeneration.
