An exhaust gas control apparatus includes a control device controlling a urea addition valve for adding urea from an upstream side of a NOx reduction catalyst. The control device obtains an ammonia adsorption amount distribution through the NOx reduction catalyst. When an ammonia adsorption amount in a predetermined part on a downstream side equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold, the control device controls the urea addition valve to stop the urea supply or reduce the amount thereof. The urea addition valve is controlled based on an adsorption amount distribution obtained from a model on which the catalyst is divided into cells such that an ammonia adsorption amount in a first cell positioned furthest upstream equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold close to a saturation adsorption amount and an ammonia adsorption amount in a second cell positioned downstream of the first cell reaches a predetermined target value smaller than the threshold.

A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine is provided which works to correct the pressure of fuel, as measured by a pressure sensor, using a pressure change corresponding to a change in quantity of the fuel in a common rail within a pressure change compensating time Tp to determine a pump discharge pressure Ptop. This compensates for an error in determining the pump discharge pressure Ptop which arises from propagation of the pressure of fuel from a pump to the pressure sensor. The pressure change compensating time Tp is the sum of a time Telapsed between sampling the output of the pressure sensor before a calculation start time when the pump discharge pressure is to start to be calculated and the calculation start time and a time Trequired for the pressure to transmit from the outlet of the pump to the pressure sensor.

A gas separation and recovery apparatus that separates and recovers nitrogen oxides from a gas mixture includes: a liquid storing portion that stores a liquid, the liquid absorbing the nitrogen oxides; a gas-liquid contacting portion in which the liquid and the gas mixture contact with each other; and a liquid recovering portion that recovers the liquid after the liquid contacts the gas mixture. The liquid is an ionic liquid that chemically absorbs the nitrogen oxides.

An exhaust gas purifying system for a diesel engine has an ECU, a passage of exhaust gas, a unit having SCR catalyst, a NOx sensor placed at a downstream side of the unit, and a urea water adding valve placed at an upstream side of the unit. The SCR catalyst in the unit selectively adsorbs ammonia, and selectively purifies NOx contained in an exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine by the adsorbed ammonia. The ECU changes the urea water adding amount, and performs abnormality diagnosis based on the detection result of the NOx sensor while changing an adding amount of the urea water. The ECU uses a first condition to indicate the presence of an excess NOx amount in the exhaust gas, and a second condition to indicate there is no error cause by the ammonia adsorption on the SCR catalyst.

An exhaust emission control device is used for an engine and is applied to an exhaust gas purifying system. The system has an NOx catalyst disposed in an exhaust passage of the engine to promote selective purification of NOx in exhaust gas performed by ammonia, which is a reducing agent for reducing NOx, and a reducing agent adding device for adding the reducing agent to an upstream side of the catalyst in a flow direction of exhaust gas. The device includes a catalyst temperature detecting device for detecting temperature of the catalyst, a reaction ratio calculating device for calculating a reaction ratio, which is a ratio of a reaction amount of ammonia to a reaction amount of NOx in the catalyst, based on the temperature of the catalyst, and an ammonia consumed amount calculating device for calculating a consumed amount of ammonia in the catalyst based on the reaction ratio.

An SCR catalyst is provided in an exhaust pipe of an engine and a urea solution addition valve is provided upstream of the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe. An ECU controls urea solution addition quantity of the urea solution addition valve based on ammonia adsorption quantity to the SCR catalyst. The ECU calculates the ammonia adsorption quantity in the SCR catalyst based on time-series data of an ammonia balance between ammonia supply to the SCR catalyst accompanying the urea solution addition of the urea solution addition valve and ammonia consumption in the SCR catalyst. The ECU calculates NOx quantity introduced into the SCR catalyst or a parameter correlated with the NOx quantity and performs initialization of the ammonia adsorption quantity at timing decided based on a result of the calculation.

An SCR catalyst is provided in an exhaust pipe of an engine and a urea solution addition valve is provided upstream of the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe. An ECU calculates ammonia adsorption quantity of the SCR catalyst and controls urea solution addition quantity, which is added by the urea solution addition valve, based on the ammonia adsorption quantity. The ECU obtains temperature of the SCR catalyst or temperature information correlated with the temperature through measurement or estimation. The ECU switches an execution mode of the urea solution addition control based on the catalyst temperature or the temperature information. Thus, reducing agent addition control can be performed suitably and eventually NOx purification in a NOx catalyst (i.e., SCR catalyst) can be performed suitably.
