INORGANIC OXIDE, EXHAUST GAS PURIFYING CATALYST CARRIER, AND EXHAUST GAS PURIFYING CATALYST

摘要

A particulate inorganic oxide containing aluminum oxide, a metal oxide forming no composite oxide with aluminum oxide, and an additional element including at least one of a rare-earth element and an alkali earth element, the inorganic oxide containing a secondary particle formed by aggregating primary particles; wherein at least a part of the secondary particle includes a plurality of first primary particles, each having a particle size of 100 nm or less, containing aluminum oxide and the additional element, and a plurality of second primary particles, each having a particle size of 100 nm or less, containing the metal oxide and the additional element; wherein at least a part of the first and second primary particles has a surface concentrated region where the additional element has a locally increased content in a surface layer part thereof. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
