TITANIA-DOPED ZIRCONIA AS PLATINUM GROUP METAL SUPPORT IN CATALYSTS FOR TREATMENT OF COMBUSTION ENGINE EXHAUSTS STREAMS

摘要

Composites of mixed metal oxides for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprise the following co-precipitated materials by weight of the composite: zirconia in an amount in the range of 55-99%; titania in an amount in the range of 1-25%; a promoter and/or a stabilizer in an amount in the range of 0-20%. These composites are effective as supports for platinum group metals (PGMs), in particular rhodium.
