摘要:
An exhaust gas-purifying catalyst includes a carrier, and an active component formed of a noble metal, carried by the carrier. The carrier has a core portion comprising a cubic or tetragonal stabilized zirconia-based composite oxide containing at least one stabilizing element, and a surface layer portion including a heat resistant zirconia-based composite oxide formed on a surface of the core portion. The surface layer has a specific surface area which is larger than a specific surface area of the core portion. A part of the noble metal is solid-solutioned into the zirconia-based composite oxide of the surface layer portion, and the balance of the noble metal is carried on a surface of the surface layer portion.

A catalyst for the purification of exhaust gases comprising a catalyst carrier layer and catalyst ingredients carried thereon, is capable of enhancing the purification property by suppressing the growth of cerium oxide particles and preventing the formation of LaAlO.sub.3. This catalyst has two composition types. One is a binary composition catalyst comprising oxides of cerium and zirconium in the catalyst carrier layer and the other is a ternary composition catalyst comprising oxides of cerium, zirconium and lanthanum in the catalyst carrier layer.
摘要:
An exhaust gas purifying catalyst for oxidizing HC and CO and for reducing NOx is provided, which comprises at least one oxide of rare earth element, rhodium, and at least one of platinum and palladium loaded on alumina grains. The major amount of rhodium is dispersed on the oxide of rare earth element. Thus, the rhodium solidification into the alumina grains is prevented. Further, when cerium oxide accompanying lanthanum oxide, neodymium oxide or a mixture thereof is used as the oxide of rare earth element, the sintering of cerium oxide or palladium at a high temperature is suppressed since it forms a complex oxide with lanthanum oxide, neodymium oxide or a mixture thereof. Additionally, when stabilized alumina grains in which a rare earth element and an alkali earth element are present in a solid solution state are used, the deterioration of NOx purifying activity of the catalyst at a high temperature is suppressed. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst of this invention has high durability as well as high activity at a high temperature.

An oxygen sensor for sensing the oxygen content of an exhaust gas from an automotive engine and a process for producing the same, which sensor is less sensitive to lead poisoning than conventional sensors. In the inventive sensor, a first platinum electrode is formed on the side of a solid electrolyte body exposed to the gas to be detected, and a second electrode is formed on the other side of the electrolyte body. The first electrode comprises a platinum layer and a layer of at least one of rhodium and palladium. Preferably, the layer of rhodium or palladium has a thickness of 10 to 5,000 .ANG..

A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a support including rutile titania, an NOx storage material including at least on element selected from alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals and rare-earth elements and loaded on the support, and a noble metal loaded on the support. Since the rutile TiO2 and the NOx storage material form a fine composite oxide, the NOx storage material is likely to decompose even when it is subject to the sulfur poisoning, and the NOx storage material easily recovers the NOx storage ability. Therefore, the NOx storage material can be inhibited from the sulfur poisoning, and a high NOx conversion ratio can be maintained even after the service at an elevated temperature.

A solid solution particle of oxides contains a solid solution of oxides in which one oxide is dissolved into the other oxide, and in which the degree of dissolution of one oxide into the other oxide is not less 50%, and in which an average diameter of crystallite is not more than 100 nm. The solid solution particle of oxides has small average diameter of a crystallite and large specific surface area, and it improves capacities such as an oxygen storage ability due to high degree of dissolution. A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases has excellent purifying performance by employing the solid solution comprising ceria and zirconia which has large OSC and high oxygen adsorption and discharge speed.
摘要:
An automotive exhaust catalyst includes a support, which is less likely to adsorb SO.sub.x contained in exhaust gases thereon, an NO.sub.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.sub.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.sub.x contained in lean-side exhaust gases, even after it is subjected to a thermal durability test.
摘要:
A catalyst used for purifying exhaust gases resulting from the combustion of a lean fuel-air mixture mixture comprises a porous support material having a framework formed by MO.sub.2, where M is silicon or a metal, AlO.sub.2 and PO.sub.2, and at least one base metal and at least one metal of the platinum group which are carried on ion exchange sites of the support material a coexistent state. The catalyst exhibits a high level of NO.sub.x conversion for a long time even at a high temperature owing to the high heat resistance and durability of the support material, and the cooperative action of the two kinds of metals, i.e. the promotion of the catalytic action of the base metal (e.g. copper) by the metal of the platinum group (e.g. palladium) serving as cocatalyst.
