摘要:
A particulate inorganic oxide contains an aluminum oxide, a metal oxide forming no composite oxide with an aluminum oxide, and at least one additional element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements and alkaline earth elements. In the inorganic oxide, a percentage content of the additional element to a total amount of aluminum in the aluminum oxide, a metal element in the metal oxide, and the additional element is in a range from 1.1 at % to 8.0 at % in terms of element content. At least 80% of primary particles in the inorganic oxide have a particle diameter of 100 nm or smaller. At least a part of the primary particles have a surface concentrated region where a percentage content of the additional element is locally increased in a surface layer part thereof. The content of the additional element in the surface concentrated region to a whole amount of the inorganic oxide is in a range from 0.06% by mass to 0.98% by mass in terms of oxide amount.

A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a core, and a catalyst ingredient loading layer. The core includes a first support, and an NO.sub.x storage member involved in the first support. The catalyst ingredient loading layer includes a second support and a noble metal catalyst ingredient involved in the second support, and is formed on the core. The catalyst ingredient loading layer keeps SO.sub.x, included in the exhaust gas, from reaching the core. Hence, the NO.sub.x storage member is inhibited from being poisoned by sulfur. The NO.sub.x storage member is separated from the noble metal catalyst ingredient. Therefore, the noble metal catalyst ingredient is inhibited from sintering.

This catalyst support aims to improve heat resistant and durability by highly dispersing an NO.sub.x storage component. This catalyst support is produced by mixing a solution of a chemical compound including at least one element of alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, and rare-earth elements with a solution of oxide sol of at least one metal of group IIIb, group IVa, and group IVb in the periodic table to prepare a mixed sol solution, forming the mixed sol solution into gel, and drying and calcining the gel. The obtained catalyst support is amorphous and attains a high specific surface area even when calcined at elevated temperatures, so that the catalyst support is superior in heat resistance.

An exhaust gas purifying catalyst includes a substrate that defines an exhaust gas passage; a lower catalyst layer formed over the substrate, and an upper catalyst layer formed over the lower catalyst layer. The lower catalyst layer has a lower catalytic precious metal that contains at least one of Pt and Pd, and a lower-layer carrier that supports the lower catalytic precious metal. The upper catalyst layer has an upper catalytic precious metal that contains Rh, and an upper-layer carrier that supports the upper catalytic precious metal. The upper-layer carrier includes an inorganic mixed oxide that contains Ce, Zr, Al, Nd, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements other than Ce and alkaline earth elements. The Nd is unevenly distributed in covering layers that covers surfaces of interior regions within the inorganic mixed oxide.

摘要:
The present invention provides an exhaust gas purification catalyst comprising a base material, and a two or more layered catalyst coating layer, formed on the base material, wherein the two or more layers have upper and lower layers, and wherein the upper layer contains a large amount of noble metal per liter of the base material more than that of the lower layer, and the lower layer contains a large amount of an oxygen storage/release material per liter of the base material more than that of the upper layer. This exhaust gas purification catalyst has more excellent H2S purifying performance than conventional catalysts while maintaining purifying performance against NOx and the other exhaust gas components.
