- NO 2 is generated on the surface of platinum Pt 61, and NO x is absorbed in the basic layer 63 and nitrate is generated unless the NO x absorption capacity of the basic layer 63 is saturated.
- the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 decreases, so that the reaction is in the reverse direction (NO 3 ⁇ ⁇ NO 2 ).
- the nitrate absorbed in the basic layer 63 is successively released as nitrate ions NO 3 ⁇ from the basic layer 63 in the form of NO 2 as shown in FIG. 4B.

- the engine intake passage when the ratio of the supplied air and fuel into the combustion chamber 5 and the NO x storage catalyst 22 upstream of the exhaust passage (hydrocarbon) is referred to as the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas, the NO x storage catalyst 22,
- the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 is lean, NO x is stored, and when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 becomes rich, the stored NO x is released. .
- NO x in the exhaust gas is stored in the NO x storage catalyst 22.
- the NO x storage capacity of the NO x storage catalyst 22 is saturated during that time, and as a result, the NO x storage catalyst 22 can store NO x. It will disappear. Therefore, temporarily rich air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber 5 before the NO x storage capacity of the NO x storage catalyst 22 is saturated, thereby so that to release NO x from the NO x storage catalyst 22.

- the air-fuel ratio (A / F) at is temporarily made rich.
- the air-fuel ratio (A / F) in the combustion chamber 5 is made rich, that is, when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 is made rich, combustion is performed under the lean air-fuel ratio.
- the NO x storage catalyst 22 to the occluded NO x is reduced is released all at once from the NO x storage catalyst 22. As a result, NO x is purified.
- Occluded amount of NO x ⁇ NOX is calculated from the amount of NO x exhausted from the engine, for example. Is stored in advance in the ROM32 in the form of a map as shown in FIG. 6 as a function of the discharge amount of NO x NOXA is required load L and engine speed N which is discharged from the engine per unit time in this embodiment of the present invention, The occluded NO x amount ⁇ NOX is calculated from this exhausted NO x amount NOXA.

- reduced catalyst temperature TC When it extremely high NO x purification rate is obtained catalyst temperature TC becomes a high temperature of at least 400 ° C. when the 300 ° C. of 400 ° C. the NO x purification rate To do. The reason why the the catalyst temperature TC becomes equal to or higher than 400 ° C. NO x purification rate is lowered, when the catalyst temperature TC becomes equal to or higher than 400 ° C.
- NO x becomes difficult occluded, also the form of NO 2 and nitrate is thermally decomposed This is because the NO x storage catalyst 22 is released. That is, as long as NO x is occluded in the form of nitrate, it is difficult to obtain a high NO x purification rate when the catalyst temperature TC is high.
- the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 is NO x is released when it is rich from the NO x storage catalyst 22.
- NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 comprising ammonia from adsorbable zeolite downstream of the NO x storage catalyst 22 and is arranged, therefore, it occurs in the NO x storage catalyst 22
- the ammonia thus absorbed is adsorbed by the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23.
- NO x flowing out from the NO x storage catalyst 22 is reduced by the ammonia adsorbed on the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23. That is, in the present invention, when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO x storage catalyst 22 is maintained lean, NO x contained in the exhaust gas is stored in the NO x storage catalyst 22 and stored at this time. The NO x which has not been reduced is reduced by the ammonia adsorbed on the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23.
- drawing schematically illustrating de 8 shows the relationship between the temperature TB of the release amount of ammonia and the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23, and the structure of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 from the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 A method of adsorbing ammonia will be described with reference to 9A and 9B.
- FIG. 8 shows a change in the amount of desorbed ammonia when the temperature TB of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 is gradually increased, and when the temperature TB of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 is increased from FIG. It can be seen that two peaks appear.
- One peak (L acid point) in FIG. 8 is due to desorption of ammonia adsorbed on a weak acid point called Lewis acid point (L acid point) as shown in FIG. 9A, and the other peak in FIG.
- the peak (B acid point) is due to the desorption of ammonia adsorbed on a strong acid point called a Bronsted acid point (B acid point) as shown in FIG. 9B.
- the ammonia adsorbed at the Bronsted acid point (B acid point), that is, the strong acid point as shown in FIG. 9B comes to NO x when the temperature TB of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 is relatively low. Is not desorbed and desorbed only when the temperature TB of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 becomes high.
- the temperature TB of the NO x selective reduction catalyst 23 does not rise to the temperature indicated by the B acid point in FIG. 8, and therefore, the Bronsted acid point (B acid point) as shown in FIG. 9B, that ammonia adsorbed on strong acid sites would not be used for the reduction of nO x. Therefore, in order to reduce NO x by the adsorbed ammonia, it is necessary to adsorb ammonia at a Lewis acid point (L acid point) as shown in FIG. 9A, that is, a weak acid point.
- L acid point Lewis acid point
