Abstract
An exhaust purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided with an NOx storage and reduction type catalyst in an exhaust passage. The NOx storage and reduction type catalyst comprises a base member, an upstream side coat layer arranged on the base member, and a downstream side coat layer arranged at a downstream side in the direction of exhaust flow from the upstream side coat layer. The upstream side coat layer does not include a Ce-containing oxide but includes a precious metal catalyst. The downstream side coat layer contains a Ce-containing oxide and precious metal catalyst. A length of the upstream side coat layer is a length of 5 to 62.5% of the total length of the upstream side coat layer and the downstream side coat layer, while the remaining part of the coat layer aside from the upstream side coat layer is the downstream side coat layer.
