Abstract
A catalyst for exhaust gas purification includes (1) a monolithic carrier having passages and (2) palladium-loaded alumina obtained by immersing alumina in a palladium solution and then firing the resulting alumina and loaded on the monolithic carrier as a catalyst layer. In the catalyst, the catalyst layer loaded on the partition walls of the passages of the monolithic carrier has a thickness of 5 to 100 &mgr;m and the palladium/alumina (Pd/Al O ) weight ratio in the catalyst layer is 0.03 to 0.30. This catalyst is a Pd-only catalyst improved in hydrocarbon purifiability during the cold start of engine.
