摘要:
An automotive exhaust catalyst includes a support, which is less likely to adsorb SO x contained in exhaust gases thereon, an NO x storage compound loaded on the support, and a noble metal element loaded on the support. The support is an alumina support with a Ti-Zr composite oxide loaded thereon, or is formed of a Ti-Zr or Ti-Zr-Y composite oxide. The composite oxide inhibits the NO x storage compound, which is selected from alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals and rare-earth elements, from being poisoned by sulfur, and enhances the thermal resistance of the support. Thus, the automotive exhaust catalyst can effectively purify NO x contained in lean-side exhaust gases, even after it is subjected to a thermal durability test.

Disclosed are a porous material comprising particles without substantial fibrous structure and having pores, the pores having a mean pore diameter in a meso-pore region, sharp pore size distribution, and at least a part of the pores being connected three-dimensionally to form a three-dimensional network structure with random passages, the porous material preferably being of alumina and having a spongy structure or the porous material preferably being an aggregate of particles having an aspect ratio of 3 or less; a process of producing the porous material which includes a step of aging a system capable of becoming an oxide on thermal decomposition; a catalyst for exhaust gas purification having excellent NO x removal performance, high resistance against sulfur poisoning, and satisfactory high-temperature durability which comprises the porous material as a carrier having supported thereon a noble metal and an NO x storage component; and a method of exhaust gas purification using the catalyst.
