Abstract
A SOx concentration acquiring apparatus of an internal combustion engine of the invention acquires sensor currents as SOx concentration currents after a sensor voltage reaches an oxygen decreasing voltage in a reoxidation voltage decreasing control, acquires the sensor current as a base current when the sensor voltage is equal to or lower than the oxygen decreasing voltage in the reoxidation voltage decreasing control, acquires an integration value of differences between the base current and each of the SOx concentration currents, and acquires a SOx concentration of an exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine on the basis of the integration value.
