Abstract

A catalyst suitable for use as a three-way catalyst having low H.sub.2 S emissions for emission control and with substantially no ceria present is made with a refractory oxide particle or powder support having deposited thereon about 0.5-20% by weight of a non-rate earth oxide stabilizer, at least 0.5 to about 5% by weight of an alkali metal oxide as a promoter, and a catalytically-effective amount of one or more platinum group metals. The preferred refractory oxide is alumina and the non-rare earth oxide stabilizer can be an oxide such as ZrO.sub.2, MgO, CaO, SnO, CaO, Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, TiO.sub.2, ZnO, B.sub.2 O.sub.3, P.sub.2 O.sub.5, SnO.sub.2, Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3, or SiO.sub.2 with the preferred oxide being zirconia.
