CATALYST MATERIAL COMPRISING TRANSITION METAL OXIDE

摘要

A metal oxide catalyst material which comprises one or more of transition metal elements having a 4d shell electron or a 5d shell electron as an electron bearing the electroconductivity thereof; and a catalyst for treating a combustion exhaust gas comprising the catalyst material. The contact of an exhaust gas with the metal oxide catalyst material allows harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides contained in the following exhaust gases to be decomposed or removed as a whole and simultaneously. The catalyst material and the catalyst can be suitably used for removing harmful materials such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, diesel particulates, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and dioxins, which are discharged from an automobile, a ship, an airplane, a glass melting furnace, a steel product heating furnace, a coke furnace, a cement firing furnace, a steel sintering furnace, a high temperature furnace such as a converter, an incinerator, a rocket engine, a thermal power station, a boiler, a plant for producing a catalyst or a chemical such as phosphoric acid, facilities for treating a metal or petroleum, a petroleum stove, a gas range or the like.
