Abstract

A system for exhaust gas purification including, in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine in order from an upstream side: a device for direct injection into the exhaust pipe, an oxidation catalyst, and at least one of a catalyst for NOx removal and a catalyzed diesel particulate filter. A support of the oxidation catalyst is a metallic material or a material having a specific heat not higher than that of the metallic material, and has a structure that mixes the exhaust gas. Regeneration of the NOx occlusion/reduction type catalyst by NOx removal and the forced regeneration of the catalyzed diesel particulate filter by particulate matter removal can occur even when the engine is operated under low-load conditions.
