    摘要: An exhaust purifying apparatus purifies an unburnt gas component, such as unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), discharged from an internal combustion engine without fail and prevents the unburnt hydrocarbon from being discharged into the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, the exhaust gas purifying apparatus is provided with a plurality of exhaust passages connected to the internal combustion engine. A joint exhaust passage is formed by merging the exhaust passages and an exhaust gas flows through the joint exhaust passage. An adsorption/desorption unit is provided in each of the exhaust passages for adsorbing an unburnt gas component contained in the exhaust gas that flows through each of the exhaust passages at a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature. The adsorption/desorption unit desorbs the adsorbed unburnt gas component at a temperature equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature. A desorption/adjustment mechanism synchronizes timing of the unburnt gas component desorbed from the adsorption/desorption units into the exhaust purifying units.

    摘要: A device for purifying exhaust gas includes an HC adsorbent and an exhaust gas purifying catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage in this order from the upstream side. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided with an O.sub.2 storage capability, i.e., the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is capable of absorbing oxygen in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, and is capable of releasing the absorbed oxygen when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes rich. When the engine starts, the HC adsorbent adsorbs HC in the exhaust gas. When the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes high, the HC adsorbent releases the adsorbed HC. The device also includes an engine control unit which operates the engine at a lean air-fuel ratio during a predetermined period before the releasing of the HC from the HC adsorbent occurs. Therefore, oxygen is absorbed and stored in the exhaust gas purifying catalyst before the releasing of HC occurs. When the releasing of HC from the HC adsorbent occurs, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust gas purifying catalyst becomes rich due to the HC released from the HC adsorbent. This causes the exhaust gas purifying catalyst to release the absorbed oxygen, and the HC in the exhaust gas is purified by the exhaust gas purifying catalyst using the released oxygen.

    摘要: In the present invention, the exhaust gas from the engine is divided into a first and a second branch exhaust passages after it passes through a three-way reducing and oxidizing catalyst, and the two branch exhaust passages merge into an exhaust gas outlet passage. In the first branch exhaust passage, an oxidizing catalyst is disposed, and in the exhaust gas outlet passage, a denitrating and oxidizing catalyst is disposed. NO.sub.x in the exhaust gas from the engine is all converted to N.sub.2 and NH.sub.3 by the three-way reducing and oxidizing catalyst and a part of the NH.sub.3 generated by the three-way catalyst flows into the first branch exhaust passage and is converted to NO.sub.x again by the oxidizing catalyst. The amount of NO.sub.x produced by the oxidizing catalyst and the amount of NO.sub.x flowing through the second branch exhaust passage is determined by the flow distribution ratio of the first and the second branch exhaust passages. In this invention, the flow ratio is determined in such a manner that the amount of the NO.sub.x produced by the oxidizing catalyst and the amount of the NH.sub.3 passing through the second branch exhaust passage are stoichiometric to produce N.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O. Therefore, when these exhaust gases flow into the denitrating and oxidizing catalyst after they mix with each other in the exhaust gas outlet passage, all the NO.sub.x and the NH.sub.3 are converted to N.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O by the denitrating and oxidizing catalyst without producing any surplus NO.sub.x or NH.sub.3.

    摘要: In an exhaust gas purification device, a three-way catalyst, an NO.sub.x absorbing-reducing catalyst and an NH.sub.3 adsorbing-denitrating catalyst are disposed in an exhaust gas passage of the internal combustion engine. The engine is provided with direct cylinder injection valves which inject fuel directly into the respective cylinders. A control circuit controls the amount of fuel injected from the injection valve so that the air-fuel ratio of the combustion in the cylinders becomes a lean air-fuel ratio during the normal operation of the engine. Therefore, a lean air-fuel ratio exhaust gas is discharged from the cylinders during the normal operation and NO.sub.x, in the exhaust gas is absorbed by the NO.sub.x absorbing-reducing catalyst. When the amount of NO.sub.x absorbed in the NO.sub.x absorbing-reducing catalyst increases to a predetermined level, the control circuit performs an additional fuel injection during the expansion stroke or exhaust stroke of cylinders in order to adjust the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas leaving the cylinders to a rich air-fuel ratio. The rich air-fuel ratio exhaust gas leaving the cylinders flows into the three-way catalyst and NO.sub.x in the exhaust gas is converted into NH.sub.3 at the three-way catalyst. When the rich air-fuel ratio exhaust gas flows through the NO.sub.x absorbing-reducing catalyst, NO.sub.x is released from the NO.sub.x absorbing-reducing catalyst and is reduced to N.sub.2 by NH.sub.3 in the exhaust gas.
