Abstract
Abstract A catalytic convertor for treating exhaust gas includes a first catalyst layer formed on a base material and a second catalyst layer formed on the first catalyst layer. The first catalyst layer is composed of metal-containing silicate provided with transition metal by ion exchange and at least one precious metal borne on the silicate, and the second catalyst layer is composed of metal-containing silicate provided with transition metal by ion exchange and at least one metal borne on the silicate which is selected from the group consisting of Zr, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Y, Fe, Ni, V, Ti, Zn, Ga, Ba, Mg, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Tb and differs from the transition metal provided on the silicate by ion exchange.
