Abstract

Abstract A method for purifying an oxygen excess exhaust gas by catalytically reducing nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas, which comprises bringing a catalyst comprising at least one noble metal supported on a carrier composed mainly of an oxide or a complex oxide of at least one metal selected from rare earth metals and metals of the group IV A of the periodic table of elements into contact the exhaust gas.
