Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying catalyst for simultaneous removal of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gas from an internal-combustion engine, having carried on a monolithic carrier a mixture comprising a catalytically active component comprising 0.5 to 30 g of palladium, 0.1 to 50 l g of an alkaine earth metal oxide, 10 go 150 g of cerium oxide, and 0.1 to 50 g of zirconium oxide and 10 to 300 g of an activated alumina.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas produced by coating honeycomb carriers of monolithic structure with a catalyst composition comprising cerium oxide particles stabilized with (a) zirconia or (b) zirconia and at least one member selected from the group consisting of yttria and calcia, refractory inorganic oxide particles, 0.02 to 2% by weight of rhodium based on said catalyst composition, and 0 to 10% by weight of at least one platinum-family metal selected from the group consisting of platinum and palladium based on said catalyst composition.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas comprises a honeycomb carrier of monolithic structure and a coating layer deposited on the honeycomb carrier and formed with a catalyst composition containing a refractory inorganic oxide in the form of particles possessing and average particle diameter in the range of 0.5 to 20 microns, which refractory inorganic oxide has platinum and/or palladium and rhodium deposited thereon in high concentrations. This catalyst is produced by coating the honeycomb carrier with an aqueous slurry containing the catalyst composition and calcining the coated carrier.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas, having deposited on a monolithic honeycomb carrier a catalyst composition comprising an alumina-modified cerium oxide obtained by impregnating a water-insoluble cerium compound with at least one member selected from the group consisting of water-soluble aluminum compounds and alumina hydrates and calcining the product of impregnation, at least one precious metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, and rhodium, and active alumina.

Abstract: A process for producing a high-temperature resistant honeycomb catalyst, which comprises admixing cerium, zirconium, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron and nickel, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium and rhodium, and optionally at least one metal selected from the group consisting of neodymium, lanthanum and praseodymium, each in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion of a soluble or easily water-dispersible compound of the metal, with active alumina, drying the mixture, calcining it, dispersing the resulting catalyst composition in an aqueous medium, and depositing the dispersion on a monolithic honeycomb carrier. The resulting catalyst is useful for simultaneous conversion of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in an exhaust gas.
