Abstract

An exhaust purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a NOx removing catalyst, an oxidation catalyst, and a controller which is configured to calculate the amount of NOx contained in exhaust gas that has passed through the oxidation catalyst. The controller is configured to execute an abnormality diagnosis process that determines the existence of an abnormality in the NOx removing catalyst if NOx removal efficiency obtained from the amount of NOx is less than or equal to a predetermined value. The controller is configured to execute the abnormality diagnosis process after executing a desorption process that desorbs unburned fuel adsorbed by the NOx removing catalyst if an execution condition of the abnormality diagnosis process is met.
