Abstract
A NO.sub.x absorbent (17) is disposed in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. This NO.sub.x absorbent (17) absorbs the NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent (17) is lean and releases the absorbed NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent (17) becomes rich. When making the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent (17) rich to release the NO.sub.x from the NO.sub.x absorbent (17), the degree of richness is made larger and the time the ratio is made rich is made shorter the higher the temperature of the NO.sub.x absorbent (17).
