Pollution control catalyst for internal combustion engine exhaust system/catalytic converter and process for its preparation

A pollution control catalyst for a catalytic converter within the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is facilely prepared by (i) coating/impregnating a catalyst support with palladium and at least one base metal catalyst, (ii) activating the step (i) catalyst, (iii) next coating/impregnating the step (ii) activated catalyst with at least one platinum group precious metal other than palladium, or combination of palladium and at least one other platinum group precious metal, and (iv) then activating the step (iii) catalyst.

Pollution control catalyst for internal combustion engine exhaust system/catalytic converter

A pollution control catalyst for a catalytic converter comprising the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, said catalyst including a refractory oxide support, and an activated phase therefor comprised of 0.3 to 7% by weight cerium based upon the weight of said support, 0.1 to 3.5% by weight iron, also based upon the weight of said support, at least one platinum or palladium metal, and at least one iridium or rhodium metal.
