Abstract
A catalyst composition includes a catalytic material containing a platinum catalytic component dispersed on a bulk ceria and a palladium catalytic component; the palladium catalytic component may be dispersed either on the ceria or on another support, such as an activated alumina support. The catalytic material, which may include a refractory binder, such as alumina, may be dispersed as a washcoat on a suitable carrier, e.g., a cordierite honeycomb-type carrier having a plurality of fine gas flow passages extending therethrough. The bulk ceria may be stabilized with a zirconia stabilizer and/or a lanthana stabilizer. The catalyst composition has utility as an oxidation catalyst and as a three-way conversion catalyst. In the latter case, its activity for the reduction of nitrogen oxides may optionally be supplemented either by adding a rhodium-containing catalytic overcoat or by providing a catalyst assembly in which the above-described catalyst composition is placed in series with any suitable nitrogen oxides reduction catalyst.
