Alumina supported platinum-group metal catalysts exhibit exceptionally good performance and durability when the support is sequentially modified to include support stabilization by lanthana or lanthana-rich rare earth oxides, double promotion by ceria and alkali metal oxides, especially ceria along with lithia, and optionally nickel (oxide) as a base metal catalytic ingredient. For a pelleted Rh containing catalyst to exhibit such an outstanding performance at least part of the Rh component is added separately from any other Pt group metals. |
