Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An exhaust gas controlling catalyst includes zirconia particles; ceria particles which contact the zirconia particles, of which a mean particle size is smaller than a mean particle size of the zirconia particles; and an active metal that is supported on at least the ceria particles in a dispersed manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An exhaust gas controlling catalyst, comprising: zirconia particles; ceria particles which contact the zirconia particles, of which a mean particle size is smaller than a mean particle size of the zirconia particles; and an active metal that is supported on at least the ceria particles in a dispersed manner, wherein the active metal is Cu, wherein a mean particle size of the ceria particles is 1 to 9 nm, wherein a percentage of the ceria particles to the zirconia particles is 5 to 30% by weight, and a mean particle size of the zirconia particles is 5 to 30 nm. 2. An exhaust gas control apparatus, comprising: a first-stage base metal catalyst system that oxidizes HC and CO to harmless components, of which a conversion efficiency for HC is higher than a conversion efficiency for CO; and a second-stage base metal catalyst system that has the exhaust gas controlling catalyst according to claim 1 and reduces NOx to harmless components. 3. The exhaust gas controlling catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the ceria particles are supported on the surface of the zirconia particles in a dispersed manner. 4. An exhaust gas control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first-stage base metal catalyst system is a Fe/Al 2 O 3 catalyst.
