  • the control center of the air-fuel ration in the active air-fuel ratio control is shifted to a rich side, when it is timing for performing malfunction diagnosis of the first catalyst by using active control, and it is determined that sulfur poisoning of the second catalyst advances.

  • the NOx which is stored as nitrate is reduced to NO and is desorbed from the base.
  • the desorbed NOx is purified to N 2 or the like on the catalyst in the NSR catalyst 202 to be treated.
  • NOx which is stored in the NSR catalyst 202 can be desorbed and treated, and therefore, the NOx storage performance can be effectively restored.
  • the catalyst bed temperature thereof In order to cause the NOx storage/purification reaction in the NSR catalyst to be performed actively, it is preferable to increase the catalyst bed temperature thereof to about 350 to 450°, in general. However, as described above, in the system of the present embodiment 1, a position of the NSR catalyst 202 is adjusted so that the bed temperature of the NSR catalyst 202 is increased to 500 to 750° C. The reason of this will be described later.
  • the NOx purifying function of the SCR 22 will be described. As described above, by execution of rich spike control, the NOx storage performance of the NSR catalyst 202 can be effectively restored. However, if rich spike control is executed, part of the NOx which is desorbed from the NSR catalyst 202 is blown thorough to downstream. Further, as described above, the NOx, which is blown through to downstream of the NSR catalyst 202 before execution of rich spike control, is also present. If the NOx which is blown through is directly released into the atmosphere, worsening of emission is caused.
  • the system of the present embodiment 1 includes the SCR 22 for treating the NOx which is blown through to the downstream side of the NSR catalyst 202 .
  • the SCR 22 stores the NH 3 , which the TWC 201 and the NSR catalyst 202 generate under rich atmosphere, in an inside thereof. Therefore, according to the SCR 22 , the NOx which is blown through to downstream of the NSR catalyst 202 can be selectively reduced and purified with NH 3 . Thereby, the situation in which NOx is released into the atmosphere and emission is worsened can be effectively inhibited.
  • the reduction reaction in the SCR 22 can be made actively. Therefore, in the system of the present embodiment 1, the arrangement of the SCR 22 is adjusted so that the bed temperature of the SCR 22 becomes 200 to 350° C. Thereby, the situation in which NOx is released to downstream of the SCR 22 can be effectively inhibited.
  • the NSR catalyst exhibits a high NOx purification performance under the temperature environment in which the bed temperature is 350 to 450° C. Therefore, in the conventional system, the arrangement of the NSR catalyst is set so that the NSR catalyst belongs to the temperature range like this.
  • the NSR catalyst is arranged in the temperature region of 350 to 450° C., the temperature condition also becomes favorable to adherence of a sulfur component. Therefore, under such a condition, sulfur poisoning of the NSR catalyst advances in a relatively short time, and the NOx purification performance and the NH 3 generation performance are significantly reduced.
  • the system has the feature of including the NSR catalyst 202 at the rear stage portion of the SC 20 as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the NSR catalyst 202 is placed in the temperature region (500 to 750° C.) which differs from the conventional system. In such a temperature region, a sulfur component hardly adheres to the NSR catalyst 202 , and therefore, the situation in which sulfur poisoning advances in a short time can be effectively inhibited. Accordingly, the execution frequency of the sulfur desorption processing of the NSR catalyst 202 can be effectively decreased.
  • the catalyst bed temperature is already in a high state, and therefore, by exposure to rich atmosphere, the bed temperature can be easily increased to the desorption temperature. Therefore, the NSR catalyst 202 can be effectively restored from sulfur poisoning without causing reduction of fuel efficiency and worsening of emission.
  • the NSR catalyst 202 When the NSR catalyst 202 is placed in the high temperature region as in the system of the present embodiment 1 described above, the NOx purification efficiency of the NSR catalyst 202 reduces. Therefore, in the system of the present embodiment 1, the capacity/characteristics and the like of the catalysts are adjusted so that purification of NOx is executed in the SCR 22 placed at the downstream side of the NSR catalyst 202 with the main objective of the NSR catalyst 202 as generation of NH 3 rather than purification of NOx. Thereby, even when the NSR catalyst 202 is arranged in a high-temperature region, worsening of NOx emission can be effectively inhibited.
  • the advancing degree of sulfur poisoning in the NSR catalyst 202 can be determined based on the NOx concentration downstream of the SCR 22 , for example. This is because if sulfur poisoning of the NSR catalyst 202 advances, and the NH 3 generation amount reduces, NH 3 becomes insufficient in the SCR 22 , as a result of which, the NOx purification rate in the SCR 22 reduces. Therefore, in the system of the present embodiment, when the NOx concentration downstream of the SCR 22 is higher than a predetermined value (for example, 1.4 ppm), it is determined that sulfur poisoning of the NSR catalyst 202 advances, and sulfur desorption processing of the NSR catalyst 202 is executed.
  • a predetermined value for example, 1.4 ppm
  • the NSR catalyst 202 In the sulfur desorption processing, it is necessary to increase the bed temperature of the NSR catalyst 202 to about 700° C., and expose the NSR catalyst 202 to rich atmosphere as described above, and in the system of the present embodiment, the NSR catalyst 202 is placed in the region in which the bed temperature of the NSR catalyst 202 becomes 700° C. or a temperature close to 700° C. Accordingly, the above described two conditions can be easily satisfied by introducing rich gas to the NSR catalyst 202 by air-fuel ratio control.
  • the method for the air-fuel control various methods are conceivable, and from the viewpoint of controllability of the air-fuel ratio, for example, the method that controls the air-fuel ratio of a predetermined cylinder to a rich air-fuel ratio during a lean burn operation is preferable. More specifically, in this method, a plurality of cylinders of the internal combustion engine 10 are classified into two cylinder groups (for example, a cylinder group constituted of #1 to #3 cylinders, and a cylinder group constituted of #2 to #4 cylinders), and the air-fuel ratio of one of the cylinder groups is controlled to a lean air-fuel ratio, whereas the air-fuel ratio of the other cylinder group is controlled to a rich air-fuel ratio.

  • the sensor output value is fed back to a fuel injection amount of each of the cylinders.
  • desired rich gas can be introduced to the NSR catalyst 202 , and therefore, sulfur components can be effectively desorbed.
  • FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a routine of sulfur poisoning restoration processing of the NSR catalyst 202 which is executed by the ECU 30 .
  • the routine of FIG. 3 is repeatedly executed during a lean burn operation of the internal combustion engine 10 .
  • step 100 it is first determined whether or not sulfur poisoning of the NSR catalyst 202 advances (step 100 ).
  • the NOx sensor value detected by the NOx sensor 26 is a predetermined value (for example, 1.4 ppm) or less.

  • step 104 it is determined whether or not the NSR catalyst 202 is restored from sulfur poisoning next (step 104 ).
  • the NOx sensor value is detected again by using the NOx sensor 26 .
  • it is determined whether or not the detected NOx sensor value is the predetermined value (1.4 ppm) or less.
  • the predetermined value 1.4 ppm
  • NH 3 is generated in the NSR catalyst 202 without a problem. Namely, it is determined that the NSR catalyst 202 is restored from sulfur poisoning, and the present routine is quickly ended.
  • the NSR catalyst 202 is placed in the predetermined exhaust upstream region (500 to 750° C.), and therefore, the situation in which sulfur poisoning of the NSR catalyst 202 advances in a short time can be inhibited. Further, according to the arrangement of the NSR catalyst 202 of the system of the present embodiment 1, the catalyst bed temperature is always in the high temperature state. Therefore, when sulfur desorption processing of the NSR catalyst 202 is executed, the catalyst bed temperature can be easily increased to the sulfur desorption temperature, and therefore, reduction of fuel efficiency and complication of the system can be effectively avoided.
  • the NSR catalyst 202 is arranged at the rear stage portion of the SC 20 which is placed in the high-temperature region, but the configuration of the NSR catalyst 202 is not limited to this. Namely, if only the arrangement is such that the bed temperature of the NSR catalyst 202 is increased to 500 to 750° C., the NSR catalyst 202 may be configured as a separate body at the downstream side of the SC 20 .
