Abstract

Abstract A multi-component catalyst composition prepared by combining (A) noble metal catalyst elements effective for oxidizing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons with (B) catalyst elements effective for the same purpose but containing no noble metal. The multi-component catalyst composition is effective in purifying exhaust gases containing nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons by converting these harmful components into harmless components.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
A single catalyst bed for purifying exhaust gases from combustion operations by transforming CO, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides into harmless substances, consisting essentially of two catalyst components A and B, wherein component A consists essentially of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pd and Pt, said metal being supported on an inert catalyst carrier, and component B consists essentially of 5 to 10 parts by weight of Mn 2 O 3 , 10 to 20 parts by weight of CuO, 5 to 10 parts by weight of Fe 2 O 3 , 60 to 80 parts by weight of gamma aluminum oxide and 1 to 5 parts by weight of MgO.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 115 words
A single catalyst bed for purifying exhaust gases from combustion operations by transforming CO, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides into harmless substances, consisting essentially of two catalyst components A and B, wherein component A consists essentially of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pd and Pt, said metal being supported on an inert catalyst carrier, and component B consists essentially of 5 to 10 parts by weight of Mn 2 O 3 , 10 to 20 parts by weight of CuO, 5 to 10 parts by weight of Fe 2 O 3 , 60 to 80 parts by weight of gamma aluminum oxide and 1 to 5 parts by weight of MgO.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
A single catalyst bed as claimed in claim 1 in which the volumetric ratio of component A: component B is in the range of 1:9 to 1:1.
