The invention provides a catalyst for catalytically removing three components, which are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, from combustion exhaust gas generated by combusting fuel at around the stoichiometric air to fuel ratio. The catalyst includes:

Low level noble metal-supporting three-way catalyst

The invention provides a catalyst for catalytically reducing nitrogen oxides in diesel engine exhaust gas by use of unburnt carbon contained in the diesel engine exhaust gas as a reducing agent, the catalyst comprising:

Catalyst and method for purification of diesel engine exhaust gas

A method comprising subjecting fuel to combustion while the combustion atmosphere of the fuel is oscillated periodically and alternately between rich and lean conditions, leading the exhaust gas formed to a catalytic reactor, and bringing the exhaust gas into contact with a catalyst in the catalytic reactor to conduct catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas, wherein the catalyst comprises as catalyst components:

Method for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides

The invention provides a catalyst for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gases wherein fuel is supplied and subjected to combustion under periodic rich/lean conditions and the resulting exhaust gases are brought into contact therewith, which catalyst comprises: (A) a catalyst component A comprising (c) ceria or (d) praseodymium oxide or (e) an oxide and/or a composite oxide of at least two elements selected from the group consisting of cerium, zirconium, praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, samarium, gadolinium and lanthanum; (B) a catalyst component B comprising (d) a noble metal catalyst component selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhodium, palladium and oxides thereof and (e) a carrier; and (C) a catalyst component C comprising (f) a solid acid, and (g) a solid acid supporting an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, copper, iron, cobalt, nickel and manganese.

Catalyst and method for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides

The invention provides a catalyst for catalytic direct decomposition of nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gases wherein fuel is supplied and subjected to combustion under periodic rich/lean conditions and the resulting exhaust gases are brought into contact therewith, which catalyst comprises: (A) a first catalyst component comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of rhodium and palladium supported on zeolite; (B) a second catalyst component comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of (a) ceria, (b) praseodymium oxide, and (c) a mixture and/or a composite oxide of oxides of at least two elements selected from the group consisting of cerium, zirconium, praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, samarium, gadolinium and lanthanum; and (C) a third catalyst component comprising (a) at least one selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhodium, palladium and oxides thereof, and (b) a carrier.

Catalyst and method for contact decomposition of nitrogen oxides

The invention provides a catalyst structure for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases by supplying and subjecting fuel to combustion with periodic rich/lean excursions and contacting the resulting exhaust gases with the catalyst structure, wherein the catalyst structure comprises, on an inactive substrate:
