Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine, which includes: a silver-alumina-based catalyst, which is arranged in an engine exhaust system and, when an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas is leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, releases adsorbed NO 2 at a first set temperature and adsorbed NO at a second set temperature, a secondary air feed passage configured to suppress a temperature rise of the silver-alumina-based catalyst; and an electronic control unit, that: controls the air flow through the secondary air feed passage to: when the silver-alumina-based catalyst has reached a third set temperature, suppress a temperature rise of the silver-alumina-based catalyst to maintain the silver-alumina-based catalyst near the third set temperature, and then lift the suppression of the temperature rise of the silver-alumina-based catalyst so that at least part of the NO adsorbed at the silver-alumina-based catalyst, is oxidized to NO 2 to be adsorbed at the silver-alumina-based catalyst.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust purification system for an internal combustion engine, the exhaust purification system comprising: a silver-alumina-based catalyst, which: (i) comprises a base material, a carrier formed thereon, and silver oxide, (ii) configured to be arranged in an engine exhaust system and, (iii) when an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas is leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, releases adsorbed NO 2 at a first set temperature and releases adsorb…
