CATALYST CARRIER AND CATALYST USING THE SAME

摘要

The catalyst carrier in accordance with the present invention is a catalyst carrier comprising a support containing an oxide and an element in group 3A of the periodic table, and a coating part covering at least a part of a surface of the support; wherein the coating part contains an element in group 3A of the periodic table; and wherein the element in group 3A contained in the coating part has a concentration higher than that of the element in group 3A contained in the support. In this case, even when a catalyst in which rhodium is supported by the catalyst carrier is used for a long time in a high temperature environment, the grain growth of rhodium particles can be suppressed, and the catalyst can fully be prevented from lowering its activity.
