Abstract
The catalytic exhaust gas decomposition apparatus spirals an exhaust gas containing therein a substance to be decomposed and a reactant gas, rectifies the spiral flow, and lets the substance to be decomposed contained in the exhaust gas react with the reactant gas after the spiral flow has been rectified. This arrangement rectifies the spiral flow of the exhaust gas and the reactant gas with a plate-like baffle wall having therein a through hole at a portion near the center thereof. The spiral flow is allowed to pass through the through hole so as to be centralized temporarily. The spiral flow then passes through an enlarged section of a flow path downstream of the through hole before being introduced into the catalyst bed.
