Abstract
Abstract A reduction catalyst is disclosed. This catalyst comprises a naturally-occurring inorganic material which is a tuff consisting essentially of SiO2, Al2O3 and H2O containing 1-10% by weight of an alkali metal oxide and an alkaline earth metal oxide and has an X-ray diffraction pattern as shown in Table A or Table B. It is produced by depositing of the tuff metal ions selected from the group consisting of a metal belonging to Ib Group, IIb Group and VIII Group of Periodic Table, chromium, vanadium and manganese, followed by heat treatment, and repeating the same using different metal ions on each occasion. The catalyst is useful as a reduction catalyst for nitrogen oxides.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A method for reducing the NO x in an NO x containing exhaust gas which comprises: contacting said NO x -containing exhaust gas with NH 3 in a mol ratio of NH 3 :NO x of from about 0.8 : 1 to 2 : 1 at a temperature of above about 200° C and at a space velocity of from about 10,000 to about 15,000 hr -1 in the presence of a catalyst comprising a naturally-occurring inorganic material consisting essentially of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and H 2 O containing 1 to 10% by weight of an alkali metal oxide and an alkaline earth metal oxide having an X-ray diffraction pattern as shown in Table A or Table B carrying thereon at least two metal ions added thereto in sequence with heat treatment after each sequential addition, said metal ions being selected from the group consisting of metals of Group Ib, Group IIb, Group VIII of the periodic Table, chromium, manganese and vanadium, said naturally-occurring inorganic material having been pretreated with hydrochloric acid prior to addition of said metal ions.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
184 words
A method for reducing the NO x in an NO x containing exhaust gas which comprises: contacting said NO x -containing exhaust gas with NH 3 in a mol ratio of NH 3 :NO x of from about 0.8 : 1 to 2 : 1 at a temperature of above about 200° C and at a space velocity of from about 10,000 to about 15,000 hr -1 in the presence of a catalyst comprising a naturally-occurring inorganic material consisting essentially of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and H 2 O containing 1 to 10% by weight of an alkali metal oxide and an alkaline earth metal oxide having an X-ray diffraction pattern as shown in Table A or Table B carrying thereon at least two metal ions added thereto in sequence with heat treatment after each sequential addition, said metal ions being selected from the group consisting of metals of Group Ib, Group IIb, Group VIII of the periodic Table, chromium, manganese and vanadium, said naturally-occurring inorganic material having been pretreated with hydrochloric acid prior to addition of said metal ions.
