Abstract: A method of manufacturing a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas, the catalyst including a pentasil-type crystalline aluminosilicate catalyst carrier carrying thereon a copper component and a phosphorus component. The method is characterized by adding the catalyst carrier into a solution containing a copper component and a phosphorus component, or a buffer and having a predetermined pH adjusted with ammonia, and subsequently adding an acid to the solution so as to adjust the pH of the solution to 7.0 or less, to thereby incorporate the copper component and the phosphorus component into the catalyst carrier. According to the present invention, a catalyst for removing exhaust gases which is durable and which has a high NO.sub.X removal factor can be prepared in a stable manner.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure: Pentasil zeolites agglomerated in the form of hollow spheres and having a particle size of from 5 to 200 micron are prepared by treating a mixture of an aqueous alkylenediamine, alkylenetriamine and/or alkylenetetramine, silica and an aluminum, boron and/or titanium salt at from 20.degree. to 100.degree. C., then crystallizing the product at from 110.degree. to 200.degree. C. and from 0.01 to 50 bar and calcining it at from 400.degree. to 650.degree. C., and said zeolites are used as catalysts and/or adsorbents.
