Abstract: A catalyst for use in purifying exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The active components of an exhaust gas purification catalyst for an internal combustion engine tend to be melted or softened and then to move outside the carrier, because the components become in contact with exhaust gas at a high temperature. Hence, anchoring materials are provided between carriers in order to suppress the moving of catalytically active components. Anchoring materials 22 do not form compounds with catalytically active components 24, and are selected from substances that do not melt even in contact with exhaust gas at a high temperature. When the active components contain sodium, potassium, cesium, lithium, strontium, barium, noble metals and the like, the best anchoring material is MgO. The anchoring material functions as a barrier that prevents the moving of active components.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust gas duct connected to the engine through which exhaust gas containing NOx gas passes, and a catalyst disposed in the exhaust gas duct such that it contacts the exhaust gas. The catalyst chemically adsorbs NOx when a stoichiometric amount of a gaseous oxidizing agent present in the exhaust gas is larger than that of a gaseous reducing agent present in the exhaust gas for reducing NOx, adsorbed NOx is catalytically reduced in the presence of a reducing agent when the stoichiometric amount of the oxidizing agent is not larger that of the reducing agent.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust gas duct connected to the engine through which the exhaust gas containing NOx gas passes and a catalyst so disposed in the exhaust gas duct that it contacts with the exhaust gas. The catalyst chemically adsorbs NOx under the condition that a stoichiometric amount of a gaseous oxidizing agent present in the exhaust gas is larger than that of a gaseous reducing agent present in the exhaust gas for reducing NOx, while NOx being adsorbed is catalytically reduced in the presence of the reducing agent under the condition that the stoichiometric amount of the oxidizing agent is not larger that of the reducing agent. Thereby, NOx, the lean burn exhaust gas in the engine can be effectively made harmlessly.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for removing nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas of a lean-burn automobile, a CO adsorbent component, which may, for example be made of Pd, Ru or Ir, is contained in an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst which captures NOx when the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas is higher than theoretical air-fuel ratio, and reduces the captured NOx when the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gad is less than or equal to the theoretical air-fuel ratio. The catalyst, which includes Rh, Pt, and element selected from among the alkaline and alkaline earth metals (Na, Mg, K, Li, Cs, Sr and Ca), and a CO adsorbent material comprising Pd, Ir or Ru, has a CO desorption capacity that reaches at maximum level at a temperature within the range from 200 to 220° C. when its temperature is increased in a He gas flow at the rate of 5 to 10° C./min, after said catalyst is saturated at 100° C.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of highly efficiently purifying nitrogen oxides are provided. An NOx chemisorption reduction catalyst chemically absorbs NOx under a condition that an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine is an oxidizing atmosphere and deoxidizes adsorbed NOx under a reducing atmosphere.

The catalyst and absorbent are arranged in the exhaust path to purify the exhaust gas while preventing or suppressing SOx-poisoning of the NOx chemisorption reduction catalyst.
