CATALYST FOR PURIFYING EXHAUST GAS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

An exhaust gas-purifying catalyst whose activity is less prone to be decreased even in the case where used in a high-temperature atmosphere containing oxygen at a high concentration can be realized. The catalytic layer of the catalyst includes an oxide particle, a simple oxide of alkaline-earth element or rare-earth element, and alumina and/or aluminum hydroxide. The oxide particle contains an oxide of rare-earth element and/or zirconium, a composite oxide and a precious metal. The composite oxide contains an alkaline-earth element and at least one of the rare-earth element and zirconium. The composite oxide and a part of the precious metal form a solid solution.
