Title:
AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST GAS PURIFYING CATALYST AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/054026
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an automobile exhaust gas purifying catalyst wherein Rh as a catalyst metal is supported by a carrier mainly composed of ZrO2. This automobile exhaust gas purifying catalyst is prevented from sintering of the carrier, while being improved in supporting efficiency and low temperature activity. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a catalyst. Specifically disclosed is an automobile exhaust gas purifying catalyst wherein Rh as a catalyst metal is supported, in the form of particles, by a carrier mainly composed of ZrO2 which is fired under such conditions that as-fired ZrO2 is not substantially charged in a process liquid for catalyst metal loading. A method for producing such an automobile exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprises a step for electrostatically charging a carrier mainly composed of ZrO2 fired under the above-mentioned conditions by subjecting the carrier to at least one of an acid treatment and a base treatment, and another step for having the carrier adsorb Rh colloid by immersing the electrostatically charged carrier into the process liquid for catalyst metal loading which contains colloid of Rh as a catalyst metal.
