Abstract:
A gasoline engine exhaust gas purification catalyst for purifying exhaust gas emitted from a gasoline engine includes a precious metal, alumina, and a ceria/zirconia composite oxide supported on a three-dimensional structure, and has pores having a peak 1 at a pore size of not less than 0.001 μm and not greater than 0.05 μm, pores having a peak 2 at a pore size of not less than 2.5 μm and not greater than 5.0 μm, and pores having a peak 3 at a different pore size than the above pore sizes in a pore size distribution measured by mercury intrusion method, wherein the pore volume of the pores having the peak 3 is greater than 1.4% of the total pore volume. A production method for the catalyst, and an exhaust gas purification method using the catalyst are also described.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an exhaust gas purifying catalyst which can maintain high catalyst activity even after the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is exposed to an exhaust gas at a high temperature for a long period of time. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst contains a Pd—Pr complex and PdO, and the Pd—Pr complex is represented by PraPdbOc, where a=1 to 3, b=1 to 10, and c=1 to 6.
Abstract:
As a way to suppress deterioration of catalytic performance in an exhaust gas purification catalyst even after being exposed to an exhaust gas containing a phosphorus compound, an exhaust gas purification catalyst is provided. The catalyst purifies an exhaust gas containing a phosphorus compound, and the catalyst includes a catalyst layer containing rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), and either a ceria-zirconia-lanthana complex oxide or a ceria-zirconia-lanthana-yttria complex oxide as catalyst active components. Further, an average value of distances between Rh particles and the nearest Pd particles of the Rh and the Pd is within 4000 nm, a weight ratio of the Pd to the Rh is from 0.2 to 4.9, and a content rate of yttria in the ceria-zirconia-lanthana-yttria complex oxide is 19% by weight or less.
