Abstract

Abstract A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas comprises a honeycomb carrier of monolithic structure and a coating layer deposited on the honeycomb carrier and formed with a catalyst composition containing a refractory inorganic oxide in the form of particles possessing an average particle diameter in the range of 0.5 to 20 microns, which refractory inorganic oxide has platinum and/or palladium and rhodium deposited thereon in high concentrations. This catalyst is produced by coating the honeycomb carrier with an aqueous slurry containing the catalyst composition and calcining the coated carrier.
