Abstract
An exhaust purification system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst disposed at an exhaust system of an engine for using ammonia that is generated from urea water as a reducing agent to reduce NOx contained in exhaust gas, a device that injects urea water to the SCR catalyst, an inlet-side electrode that detects capacitance within the SCR catalyst at least from a vicinity of an inlet of the SCR catalyst to a vicinity of an intermediate section in an exhaust gas flowing direction, an outlet-side electrode that detects the capacitance within the SCR catalyst at least from the vicinity of the intermediate section to an outlet of the SCR catalyst in the exhaust gas flowing direction, and a calculation unit that calculates an ammonia adsorption amount within the SCR catalyst on a basis of the capacitances detected from the inlet-side and the outlet-side electrodes.
