- the sulfur purge determination portion 21 determines whether to execute a sulfur purge on the basis of the SOx concentration detected by the SOx sensor 16 . More specifically, the sulfur purge determination portion 21 estimates an amount of SOx that has been absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 on the basis of the history of the SOx concentration detected by the SOx sensor 16 , and determines whether to execute a sulfur purge of the NOx purification device 17 on the basis of this estimation.
- the sulfur purge execution portion 22 executes a post injection control, in which the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx purification device 17 is changed into a high temperature reducing atmosphere, the temperature of which is higher than the SOx desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 , thereby executing the sulfur purge of the NOx purification device.
- the SOx concentration in the downstream side of the SOx trap 13 of the exhaust pipe 4 is increased.
- the increase of the SOx concentration is detected by the SOx sensor 16 that detects the SOx concentration in the section between the SOx trap 13 and the NOx purification device 17 .
- the exhaust gas When it is determined to execute a sulfur purge, the exhaust gas is changed into a high temperature reduction atmosphere, thereby desorbing SOx that has been absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 .
- This makes it possible to recover the NOx cleanup performance of the NOx purification device 17 , even in cases where the SOx absorption performance of the SOx trap 13 is deteriorated.
- the SOx desorption temperature of the SOx trap 13 used here is higher than the desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 , SOx is not desorbed from the SOx trap 13 even if the exhaust gas is changed into the high temperature reducing atmosphere during the sulfur purge.
- the SOx trap materials used for the SOx trap 13 do not substantially include precious metals. This makes it possible to further increase the SOx desorption temperature of the SOx trap 13 . This prevents SOx from being desorbed from the SOx trap 13 even if, for example, the exhaust gas is changed into a high temperature reducing atmosphere, thereby making it possible to prevent deterioration of the NOx purification device 17 , which is provided in the downstream side, due to absorption of SOx.
- the substrate that supports the SOx trap materials used for the SOx trap 13 does not substantially include silica. This prevents reaction of silica and alkali. This makes it possible to use SOx trap materials of which the alkalinity is high and the SOx desorption temperature is high. This makes it possible to prevent deterioration of the NOx purification device 17 , which is provided on the downstream side of the SOx trap 13 , due to absorption of SOx.
- the catalyst which is used as the catalyst of the NOx purification device 17 , generates ammonia when the air-fuel ratio is rich, and reduces NOx to elements thereof when the air-fuel ratio is lean. This makes it possible to lower the SOx desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 . Accordingly, it is possible to further increase the temperature difference between the SOx desorption temperature of the SOx trap 13 and the SOx desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 . This makes it possible to more securely prevent SOx from being desorbed from the SOx trap 13 at the time of desorbing SOx that has been absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 .
- the subjacent catalytic converter 11 having a three-way catalyst is provided on the upstream side of the SOx trap 13 .
- the catalyst as described above which is used as the catalyst for the NOx purification device 17 , generates ammonia when the air-fuel ratio is rich, and converts NOx into nitrogen when the air-fuel ratio is lean, the NOx cleanup efficiency under the high temperature reduction atmosphere is decreased. Accordingly, it is possible to compensate for the deterioration of the NOx cleanup efficiency under the high temperature reducing atmosphere by providing such a three-way catalyst.

- This NOx sensor 16 A detects the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas that circulates on the downstream side of the NOx purification device 17 , and supplies a detection signal, which is substantially proportionate to the detected NOx concentration, to an ECU 20 A.
- a sulfur purge determination portion 21 A determines whether to execute a sulfur purge on the basis of the NOx concentration detected by the NOx sensor 16 A. It is assumed here that, when SOx is absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 , the NOx cleanup performance of the NOx purification device 17 is deteriorated depending on the absorbed amount thereof.
- the sulfur purge determination portion 21 A estimates the deterioration of the NOx cleanup performance of the NOx purification device 17 on the basis of the NOx concentration detected by the NOx sensor 16 A, thereby indirectly estimating an amount of SOx that has been absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 . Based on this estimation, the sulfur purge determination portion 21 A determines whether to execute a sulfur purge of the NOx purification device 17 .
- a sulfur purge execution portion 22 A executes a post injection control, whereby the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx purification device 17 is changed into a high temperature reducing atmosphere, the temperature of which is higher than the SOx desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 , thereby executing the sulfur purge of the NOx purification device 17 .

- This LAF sensor 16 B detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas that circulates on the downstream side of the NOx purification device 17 , and supplies a detection signal, which is substantially proportionate to the detected oxygen concentration, to the ECU 20 A.
- the sulfur purge determination portion 21 B determines whether to execute a sulfur purge on the basis of the oxygen concentration detected by the LAF sensor 16 B. More specifically, for example, at the time of increasing/decreasing the air-fuel ratio of the fuel/air mixture, the sulfur purge determination portion 21 B monitors the response of the air-fuel ratio on the downstream side of NOx purification device 17 by the LAF sensor 16 B, thereby estimating the deterioration of the NOx cleanup performance of the NOx purification device 17 , and indirectly estimating an amount of SOx that has been absorbed to the NOx purification device 17 . Based on this estimation, the sulfur purge determination portion 21 B determines whether to execute a sulfur purge of the NOx purification device 17 .
- a sulfur purge execution portion 22 B executes a post injection control, whereby the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx purification device 17 is changed into a high temperature reducing atmosphere, the temperature of which is higher than the SOx desorption temperature of the NOx purification device 17 , thereby executing the sulfur purge of the NOx purification device 17 .
