Abstract

An exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided for purifying NOx contained in an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine of a vehicle operated at a high air fuel ratio due to excessive oxygen, using unburnt HC or CO in the exhaust gas as a reducing agent. The catalyst comprises platinum, strontium and a rare earth metal, as active components, each supported on a support of inorganic oxide. The active components of the catalyst include platinum of 0.01-3.7 by wt ratio, strontium of 0.01-55 by wt ratio and a rare earth metal of 0.01-36 wt ratio, per the inorganic oxide of 100 by wt ratio.
