Abstract: A purification control device (12) controls a urea water injector (5) for supplying urea as a reducing agent to an SCR catalyst (4). The purification control device (12) sets a pre-deterioration maximum occlusion amount based on the SCR catalyst temperature, and estimates the concentration of ammonia discharged from the SCR catalyst (4), as an estimated ammonia concentration, based on upstream NOx concentration information, downstream NOx concentration information, urea injection amount information, the pre-deterioration maximum occlusion amount, and ammonia occlusion amount information. The purification control device (12) acquires downstream ammonia concentration information. When the downstream ammonia concentration is greater than the estimated ammonia concentration, the purification control device (12) decreases the supply amount of urea from the urea water injector (5).

Abstract: An exhaust-gas-purifying system of an internal combustion engine of the present disclosure sets a reduction treatment necessity flag to ON when an input gas temperature of an exhaust gas introduced into an exhaust-gas-purifying catalyst is higher than a reference temperature.
