  • Publication number: 20180023444
    Abstract: The exhaust gas cleaning catalyst according is provided with a substrate and a catalyst coat layer formed on a surface of the substrate. The catalyst coat layer is formed as a laminate structure having an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer is a Pd-free layer that does not contain Pd, and the lower layer is a Pd-containing layer. In addition, when a region of the lower layer that corresponds to 20% of the length of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst from the exhaust gas inlet side end towards the exhaust gas outlet side of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst is divided into four equal regions to be each 5% of the length, the relationship A>B>C is satisfied, where A, B, and C represents the Pd content in the first, second, and third region respectively.

  • Publication number: 20170348674
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas purifying catalyst that can achieve high purification performance while suppressing H2S emissions. The object is solved by an exhaust gas purifying catalyst in which the top layer of a catalyst coating layer comprises a ceria-zirconia composite oxide having a pyrochlore-type ordered array structure, in which the ceria-zirconia composite oxide contains at least one additional element selected from the group consisting of praseodymium, lanthanum, and yttrium at 0.5 to 5.0 mol % in relation to the total cation amount, and the molar ratio of (cerium+additional element):(zirconium) is within the range from 43:57 to 48:52.

  • Publication number: 20170291163
    Abstract: When sizes of particles supporting a catalyst metal remain relatively large but sizes of particles not supporting a catalyst metal are minimized among metal oxide particles included in a catalyst coating layer, it is possible to decrease a thickness of the catalyst coating layer while maintaining durability and improve gas diffusibility of the coating layer. Therefore, a thickness of the catalyst coating is decreased without decreasing durability and a catalyst can exhibit high exhaust gas purification performance even under high load conditions.

  • Publication number: 20170234185
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide an exhaust gas purification catalyst device; an exhaust gas purification system; and a method for detecting deterioration of the above device. The exhaust gas purification catalyst device includes a substrate, a first catalyst layer containing Pd and formed on the substrate, and a second catalyst layer formed on the first layer. Regarding the above device, ceria, Pd, and Rh are contained in a mixed state in the second layer; in the first and second layers, the total mass of ceria having a fluorite-type structure per 1 L volume of the substrate is 16.0 g or less; and in the second layer, the mass of Pd per 1 L volume of the substrate is 0.32 g or more.

  • Patent number: 7816300
    Abstract: The present invention provides an exhaust gas purification catalyst comprising a base material, and a two or more layered catalyst coating layer, formed on the base material, wherein the two or more layers have upper and lower layers, and wherein the upper layer contains a large amount of noble metal per liter of the base material more than that of the lower layer, and the lower layer contains a large amount of an oxygen storage/release material per liter of the base material more than that of the upper layer. This exhaust gas purification catalyst has more excellent H2S purifying performance than conventional catalysts while maintaining purifying performance against NOx and the other exhaust gas components.
