Abstract
A method of operating a three-way catalyst which contains an oxygen storage material and which is mounted on the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. In order to operate the three-way catalyst effectively, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine is set to be richer than the stoichiometric ratio, and secondary air is intermittently supplied by an air pump into the exhaust system upstream of the three-way catalyst, thereby to alternately vary the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gases supplied to the three-way catalyst to become rich and lean with respect to the stoichiometric ratio.
