Abstract
The present invention relates to catalyst support comprising an inorganic oxide, preferably alumina, and zeolite in the proton form and having a high Si/Al ratio, wherein the zeolite is selected from those protonated zeolites that would exhibit a high Na/Al mole ratio if treated with a solution of sodium nitrate until all sites that will accept a sodium ion have done so. This invention also relates to catalyst that is made from such support, to a method of treating exhaust gas from “lean-burn” engines using catalyst of this invention, and to a method for determining if a zeolite is a suitable support component.
