Abstract
Abstract Multiple purpose catalysts adapted for the treatment of internal combustion engine exhaust gases comprise a particulate refractory oxide support, e.g., alumina particles, having an active catalytic phase deposited thereon, said active catalytic phase including zirconium, cerium and platinum, and optionally iridium, rhodium, palladium and other metal values.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A multi-purpose catalyst composition adapted for the treatment of internal combustion engine exhaust gases, which comprises a particulate refractory oxide active support having an active catalytic phase deposited thereon, said active catalytic phase consisting essentially of a catalytically effective amount of zirconium, cerium and platinum; and at least one of the metals tungsten, nickel, manganese, tin and rhenium, wherein the total amount thereof ranges from 0.2% to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the support, said particulate refractory support having a specific surface area of from 70 to 350 m.sup. 2/g.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A multi-purpose catalyst composition adapted for the treatment of internal combustion engine exhaust gases, which comprises a particulate refractory oxide active support having an active catalytic phase deposited thereon, said active catalytic phase consisting essentially of a catalytically effective amount of zirconium, cerium and platinum; and at least one of the metals tungsten, nickel, manganese, tin and rhenium, wherein the total amount thereof ranges from 0.2% to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the support, said particulate refractory support having a specific surface area of from 70 to 350 m.sup. 2/g.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
103 words
A multi-purpose catalyst composition adapted for the treatment of internal combustion engine exhaust gases, which comprises a particulate refractory oxide active support having an active catalytic phase deposited thereon, said active catalytic phase consisting essentially of a catalytically effective amount of zirconium, cerium and platinum; at least one of the elements iridium, palladium and rhodium; and at least one of the metals tungsten, nickel, manganese, tin and rhenium, wherein the total amount thereof ranges from 0.2% to 5% by weight based on the weight of the support, said particulate refractory support having a specific surface area of from 70 to 350 m.sup. 2/g.
