Composition based on zirconium oxide and on at least one oxide of a rare earth other than cerium, having a specific porosity, processes for preparing same and use thereof in catalysis

摘要

A composition of zirconium oxide and at least one oxide of a rare earth other than cerium is described. The zirconium oxide has a weight proportion of at least 50% and, after calcination at a temperature of 900° C. for 4 hours, the composition exhibits two populations of pores of which their respective diameters are centered. The diameter of the first pore has a value of from 20 nm to 40 nm and in the second pore has a value of from 80 nm to 200 nm. Further described is how the composition can be used for treating the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines.
