  • Patent number: 9457317
    Abstract: An oxidation catalyst is disclosed, which contains Ce and Ga, and a Ce—Ga composite oxide containing a solid solution in which a part of Ce is substituted with Ga. This oxidation catalyst is obtained in such a manner that pH of a mixed solution obtained by mixing a Ce-containing solution and a Ga-containing solution together is adjusted, and a precipitate obtained by coprecipitating Ce and Ga is dried and baked.

  • Patent number: 9222382
    Abstract: A particulate matter purifying material is used for a filter catalyst for purifying particulate matter that is disposed in an exhaust gas flow path of an internal combustion engine, traps the particulate matter in exhaust gas generated in the internal combustion engine, and burns the particulate matter to be deposited, so as to be regenerated.

  • Patent number: 8455391
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying catalyst (1) includes: a three-dimensional structural substrate (10) having a plurality of cells (11) partitioned by cell walls (12) having pores (13); and catalyst layers (20) formed in the three-dimensional structural substrate (10). The catalyst layers (20) have pore-cover portions (22) formed on surfaces (13a) of the pores (13) of the cell walls (12). In addition, the catalyst layers (20) of the pore-cover portions (22) have activated pores (22a) with a pore diameter of 0.1 micrometers to 10 micrometers. In the exhaust gas purifying catalyst (1), the obstruction of the vent holes (pores (13)) in the catalyst layers (20) can be controlled, and the pressure loss can be reduced.
