Abstract
A catalyst used for purifying exhaust gases resulting from the combustion of a lean fuel-air mixture mixture comprises a porous support material having a framework formed by MO.sub.2, where M is silicon or a metal, AlO.sub.2 and PO.sub.2, and at least one base metal and at least one metal of the platinum group which are carried on ion exchange sites of the support material a coexistent state. The catalyst exhibits a high level of NO.sub.x conversion for a long time even at a high temperature owing to the high heat resistance and durability of the support material, and the cooperative action of the two kinds of metals, i.e. the promotion of the catalytic action of the base metal (e.g. copper) by the metal of the platinum group (e.g. palladium) serving as cocatalyst.
