摘要:
This composite oxide powder can secure a large pore volume even after calcination at high temperature and, when a catalyst is formed by loading a noble metal on this composite oxide powder, noble metal grain growth can be suppressed. The composite oxide powder comprises particles of an oxide of a metal M1 and an oxide of a metal M2 which does not dissolve in the oxide of the metal M1, the oxide of the metal M1 and the oxide of the metal M2 being dispersed at the nanometer level. Since different oxides serve as a barrier to each other, sintering is suppressed. Therefore, in the case of composite oxide powder comprising Ce as a metal M1 and Al as a metal M2, grain growth is small even after exposed to high temperature and pores of 3.5-100 nm secure a volume of 0.07 cc/g or more after calcination at 600° C. for 5 hours and a volume of 0.04 cc/g or more after calcination at 800° C. for 5 hours.
摘要:
A composite oxide includes agglomerated particles which have an average particle diameter of 20 μm or less, which are composed of a plurality of metallic element oxides being in form of fine particles having an average diameter of 50 nm or less, and which have a surface and an inner portion whose metallic element distributions differ with each other. The characteristics of the respective metallic elements are exhibited maximally. Hence, it is extremely useful as a support for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst. The catalyst exhibits the activities which degrade less even after it is subjected to a sever durability, is good in terms of the heat and sulfur-poisoning resistance, and can efficiently purify the harmful components in exhaust gases. Moreover, it is possible to produce such a composite oxide and catalyst easily and stably by production processes disclosed herein.
摘要:
Composite oxide powder has a large specific surface area and a large pore volume even after a high-temperature durability test, without losing oxygen storage ability of a single metal oxide. In this composite oxide powder, a first metal oxide having oxygen storage ability is held as ultrafine particles in the form of islands by a second metal oxide which is different from the first metal oxide, pore volume is not less than 2 cc/g and the first metal oxide particles have a diameter of not more than 30 nm even after subjected to high temperature of 900° C. or more. Since the first metal oxide particles are held in the form of islands by the second metal oxide particles, separated from each other and suppressed from contacting each other, the first metal oxide particles hardly grow granularly.

A composite oxide includes CeO2, ZrO2 and a metallic oxide being free from reacting with CeO2 and ZrO2 at 700° C. or more, preferably at 900° C. or more and further preferably at 1,000° C. or more. The composite oxide has a regulatory oriented phase, such as a pyrochlore phase, etc., in which at least a part of Ce cations and Zr cations are oriented regularly. The composite oxide makes a catalytic support. The CeO2—ZrO2 composite oxide and the reaction-free metallic oxide make barriers each other which suppress the granular growth when the composite oxide is subjected to high-temperature heat in a reducing heat treatment to form the regulatory oriented phase. The regulatory oriented phase improves the oxygen storage-and-release capability of the catalytic support. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously attain a large a specific surface area and a high oxygen storage-and-release capability.
摘要:
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:
A method for producing a catalyst having high catalytic activity even at high temperatures of 1200.degree. C. or higher. Fine alumina particles, of which 50% by weight or more have a particle size of 100 nm or less, are mixed with a catalytic component and a substance of inhibiting the sintering of fine alumina particles to form a slurry mixture. This slurry is dried and then calcined to obtain a porous catalyst. The fine alumina particles in the porous catalyst have a large specific surface area even at high temperatures and therefore the porous catalyst maintains its high catalytic activity even at high temperatures of 1200.degree. C. or higher.

摘要:
A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases includes a porous support; a cerium oxide or a solid solution of a cerium oxide and a zirconium oxide in a state of mutual solid solution, loaded on the porous support; and a noble metal element loaded on the porous support. The cerium oxide or the solid solution has an average particle diameter of from 5 to 100 nm. The cerium oxide is present in the solid solution in an amount of from 0.2 to 4.0 by molar ratio with respect to the zirconium oxide therein. The catalyst can be prepared by: coating and calcinating on a support substrate a slurry of a cerium oxide sol, a cerium oxide sol and a zirconium oxide sol, on a solid solution powder of a cerium oxide and a zirconium oxide in a state of mutual solid solution; and loading a noble metal element thereon. The cerium oxide or its solid solution has a surface area large enough to effect an oxygen storage function, and has an average particle diameter large enough to prevent the same from entering deeply into fine pores of a porous support, thereby providing a catalyst fully exhibiting both of the oxygen storage capability and the catalytic activity.
