Abstract: A composition for exhaust gas purification containing Y—Mn—O and Al2O3 and having a specific surface area (SSA) retention satisfying inequality (1) SSA retention (%) >?61.54×(Y—Mn—O ratio)+75.55 and inequality (2) SSA retention (%) >45 (2), where SSA retention is represented by (SSA after aging)/(initial SSA)×100 (%). The SSA after aging and the initial SSA are as defined in the description. The Y—Mn—O ratio is a mass ratio of Y—Mn—O to the sum of Y—Mn—O and Al2O3 in the composition for exhaust gas purification, being represented by Y—Mn—O/(Y—Mn—O+Al2O3).

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device is equipped with: an NOx purification unit disposed in exhaust gas piping of an engine supporting an NOx storage catalyst (NSC); a catalyzed soot filter (CSF) disposed downstream of the NOx purification unit supporting a particulate combustion catalyst causing captured particulates to combust; and an electronic control unit (ECU) which controls exhaust gas flowing into the NSC to be rich and which, by raising the temperature of the NSC, acts as a regeneration device that causes sulfur components captured in the NSC to be desorbed. The particulate combustion catalyst is provided where Ag and Pd have been alloyed on an Al2O3 carrier; the quantity of Ag supported by the Al2O3 carrier is 1.2-2.5 g/L; the quantity of Pd supported by the Al2O3 carrier is 0.7 g/L or less; and the ratio Ag/Pd of the Ag support quantity to the Pd support quantity is 1.7-8.3.
