Abstract

In an exhaust gas purifying apparatus of an internal combustion engine, the temperature of occlusion-type NOx catalyst is increased to emit SOx when the temperature of occlusion-type NOx catalyst is not less than a set temperature. This prevents the deterioration of fuel consumption and enables the regeneration of a catalyst device by efficiently desorbing a sulfur component from the catalyst device. In this case, the temperature of the occlusion-type NOx catalyst is preferably set according to the frequency of the SOx desorption, and the temperature of the occlusion-type NOx catalyst can be increased by, for example, retarding an ignition timing.
