A carrier comprising a ceramic substrate, an active alumina coating formed thereon and at least one sinter inhibitor such as Mg dispersed in the active alumina-coated substrate, the carrier having excellent heat resistance and great thermal shock resistance and enabling a catalyst to be carried thereon to keep its catalytic activity substantially invariable even at high temperatures.

Carriers for catalysts

A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas may be prepared by a process comprising impregnating a ceramic carrier with an impregnating liquid containing at least one Platinum Group metal compound, at least one organic nitrogen compound and/or at least one organic phosphorus compound, drying the impregnated carrier, reducing the metal compound impregnated in the carrier to the corresponding metal and then calcining the metal on the carrier to obtain the desired catalyst. This invention also relates to the catalysts prepared by said process.
