Abstract: An object of the disclosure is to adjust the ammonia adsorption amount in an SCR catalyst supported on an SCR filter as close as possible to a target adsorption amount in an exhaust gas purification system including the SCR filter. In a system according to the disclosure, the quantity of ammonia supplied by an ammonia supplier is made smaller when a differential pressure change rate at the time when ammonia is supplied by the ammonia supplier is lower than a predetermined threshold than when the differential pressure change rate at the time when ammonia is supplied by the ammonia supplier is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold. Moreover, when the differential pressure change rate is lower than the predetermined threshold, the change in the quantity of ammonia supplied by the ammonia supplier relative to the change in the filter PM deposition amount is kept equal to zero.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is configured in such a manner that an exhaust gas purification catalyst (13) and a hydrocarbon supply valve (15) are provided in an exhaust gas passage. An exhaust gas purification device selectively uses: a first NOx purification method in which hydrocarbon is sprayed from the hydrocarbon supply valve at predetermined intervals, purifying NOx contained in exhaust gas; and a second NOx purification method in which the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas which flows into the exhaust gas purification catalyst is made rich at intervals longer than the predetermined intervals, causing the exhaust gas purification catalyst to release occluded NOx and cleaning the NOx. It is determined whether or not the exhaust gas purification catalyst is clogged with the deposition of particulates in the exhaust gas. When it is determined that the exhaust gas purification catalyst is clogged, the second NOx purification method is used.

Abstract: According to one implementation, a blast treatment method includes: setting a blast treatment condition for a composite material to make a degree of activation on the surface of the composite material within an appropriate range, based on reference information; and manufacturing a blast treated product by the blast treatment of the composite material under the blast treatment condition set to make the degree of the activation within the appropriate range. The reference information shows a relation between a strain amount of a test piece caused by blast treatment under a predetermined blast treatment condition and a degree of activation on a surface of a sample of a composite material by blast treatment, for activating the surface of the sample before painting or bonding, under the predetermined blast treatment condition.
