    Abstract: PURPOSE: To remove nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines by adding urea or a urea-contg. reducing agent to the exhaust gases and brining the exhaust gases into contact with a zeolite-contg. catalyst under oxidizing conditions. CONSTITUTION: When the exhaust gas is brought into contact with the zeolite- contg. catalyst 5 under oxidizing conditions in the presence of a reducing agent in the exhaust gas so as to reduce nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine 1, urea or a urea-cong. substance is used as the reducing agent. Before the reducing agent in a tank 8 is added to the exhaust gas, the reducing agent is heated to the decomposition temp. by a heating device 10. The amt. of the reducing agent to be added is controlled depending on the operation parameters of the engine which produces the exhaust gas, namely, the rotation speed and the load of the engine. Namely, the add amt. of the reducing agent is controlled so that the necessary amt. to completely reduce nitrogen oxides is added by comparing to the memory device 11 of the characteristics curves of the nitrogen oxides content in the exhaust gas with respect to the various values of the operation parameters.
