<p>Zeolite/alumina composite, and a method for making, the composite for use as a catalyst substrate or catalyst carrier and comprising zeolite having a silica/alumina ratio of greater than 300 and gamma alumina having a specific surface area of greater than 100 m2/g. The zeolite/alumina composite exhibits a modulus of rupture of at least 750 psi. Additionally, the invention is also directed at a three catalyst (TWC) system for use in the removal of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen from waste gas, the TWC system comprising the following components: (1) a zeolite/alumina composite catalyst support exhibiting a modulus of rupture of at least 750 psi and having a zeolite with a silica/zeolite ratio of at least 300 and the alumina comprising a gamma alumina having a specific surface area of greater than 100 m2/g; and, (2) a noble metal catalyst impregnated on the catalyst support, the noble metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhodium, iridium and palladium.</p> |
