Patent number: 8580215Abstract: A NOx selective reduction catalyst for reducing NOx by the ammonia adsorbed is disposed in an engine exhaust gas passage. As states of adsorption of ammonia by the catalyst, there are a first adsorption state of ammonia that occurs when the ammonia is adsorbed during low temperature and a second adsorption state of ammonia that occurs when the ammonia is adsorbed or has already been adsorbed during high temperature. The amount of adsorbed ammonia in the first state is restricted to control concentration of the ammonia that is in the first state and desorbed when the temperature of the catalyst increases so as to be not higher than an allowable concentration, and that in the second state is restricted to control concentration of the ammonia that is in the second state and desorbed when the temperature of the catalyst increases so as to be not higher than an allowable concentration.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Cataler CorporationInventors: Shinya Hirota, Yoshinori Yamashita
