An object of the invention is to satisfactorily remove solid materials derived from reducing agent and depositing on a wall of an exhaust passage in an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine equipped with a selective reduction catalyst provided in the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and a reducing agent supply apparatus that supplies reducing agent derived from ammonia into the exhaust passage upstream of the selective reduction catalyst. To achieve the object, according to the invention, a fuel supply apparatus that supplies fuel into the exhaust passage upstream of the reducing agent supply apparatus and an ignition apparatus that ignites fuel supplied by the fuel supply apparatus to generate flame are provided. Solid materials derived from the reducing agent are removed by the flame generated by the fuel supply apparatus and the ignition apparatus. |
