Abstract

See full text

A device for purifying the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The device includes a particulate filter arranged in the exhaust system, which carries a catalyst for absorbing and reducing NO.sub.x. The catalyst absorbs NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio in the surrounding atmosphere thereof is lean and releases the absorbed NO.sub.x to purify NO.sub.x by reduction when the air-fuel ratio is stoichiometric or rich. The device further includes a catalytic apparatus for purifying NO.sub.x arranged in the exhaust system upstream of the particulate filter, which has an oxidation function.
