(54) | Exhaust emission control device for internal combustion engine |
(57) An occluding member is provided in an exhaust system of an internal combustion system,
to thus trap and desorb a plurality of types of hydrocarbons having different boiling
points. First calculation means estimates a distribution of presence of the hydrocarbons
to be trapped by the occluding member for each type and calculates an occlusion quantity
of the occluding member 2 from the quantity of trapped hydrocarbons for each type.
Further, there is performed control for purifying the hydrocarbons occluded in the
occluding member according to the occlusion quantity calculated by the first calculation
means.
