Abstract

The use of zeolites rich in silicic acids having an Si:Al ratio of 1:1 to 100:1 as specific adsorbents for NO.sub.X or CO is proposed. Because of their property of specifically adsorbing NO.sub.X or CO, these zeolites, in particular those zeolites doped with such metals as Ca, Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Ag, Pt or Ru, and having the above mentioned ratio of Si to Al, are especially suitable for the production of specific NO.sub.X or CO sensors based on semiconductors. Such sensors can be used as sensors for exhaust gases of automotive vehicles, for example.
