摘要:
A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases comprises a catalyst carrier made of potassium titanate and a noble metal loaded on the catalyst carrier. The catalyst carrier is substantially free from alumina. This catalyst can oxidize at least hydrocarbons in exhaust gases at a high catalytic activity even at low temperatures, and at the same time can suppress SO.sub.2 from converting into sulfates. This catalyst does not employ substance like alumina exhibiting solid acidity as a catalyst carrier. Further, this catalyst can be used for purifying exhaust gases from diesel engines to suppress particulates and sulfates from being emitted, and to improve conversions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
摘要:
An exhaust gas purifying catalyst is characterized in that at least one kind of catalyst metal is loaded on a layered porous silica or a layered porous silica-metal oxide. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst is used as an oxidation catalyst for purifying hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide, or a reduction catalyst for purifying nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x), which is suitable for purifying exhaust gases in automobiles. An exhaust gas purifying apparatus includes the above exhaust gas purifying catalyst and an absorbent for trapping hydrocarbon components, in which aromatic HC such as trimethylbenzene and the like are effectively trapped.

An electrode catalyst for a fuel cell, which has improved performance compared with conventional platinum alloy catalysts, a method for producing the electrode catalyst, and a polymer electrolyte fuel cell using the electrode catalyst are provided. The electrode catalyst for a fuel cell comprises a noble-metal-non-precious metal alloy that has a core-shell structure supported on a conductive carrier. The composition of the catalyst components of the shell is such that the amount of the noble metal is greater than or equal to the amount of the non-precious metal.
摘要:
An electrically heating catalytic apparatus that quickly heats catalyst to an activation temperature even when the engine is started at a low temperature below the catalyst activation temperature. The apparatus employs an electrically conductive catalyst carrier that is electrically heated. The carrier is provided with local hot spots to be energized. Since the heat is locally generated, the heat capacity of the catalyst carrier is small to shorten a temperature increasing time.

An object of the present invention is to provide a supported catalyst for a fuel cell having a high activity, a method of manufacturing thereof, and a fuel cell including the supported catalyst for a fuel cell. A supported catalyst for a fuel cell of the present invention includes a conductive carrier and catalyst particle supported on the conductive carrier and contains platinum. The ratio of the mass of oxygen to the mass of the catalyst particle measured by using an inert gas fusion-nondispersive infrared absorption method is 4 mass % or less.
摘要:
An electrode catalyst for a fuel cell includes a conductive support, and catalytic particles loaded on the conductive support. The catalytic particles include platinum and a base metal being on the lower end of the electrochemical series with respect to platinum. The number of the atoms of the base metal, forming metallic oxides without alloying with the platinum, is less than 5 atomic % of the number of the atoms of the platinum on a surface of the catalytic particles. The electrode catalyst is produced by loading the platinum and base metal on the conductive support, alloying the platinum and base metal thereon by a heat treatment, thereby making the catalytic particles, and removing metallic oxides from a surface of the catalytic particles. The electrode catalyst is less expensive comparatively, exhibits high catalytic activities, and hardly lowers the battery performance of fuel cells.
摘要:
An engine comprising an exhaust passage having therein a NO.sub.x absorbent which absorbs the NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent is lean and releases the absorbed NO.sub.x when the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas is lowered. When the air-fuel ratio of air-fuel mixture fed into the engine cylinder is made a rich air-fuel ratio or the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, a secondary air is fed into the exhaust passage upstream of the NO.sub.x absorbent to make the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas lean.
