Benefits of technology

[0011]It is an object of the present invention to provide a composite oxide which is capable of maintaining a large pore volume even in use in a high temperature environment, which brings about excellent heat resistance and catalytic activity, and which is particularly suitable for a co-catalyst for a catalyst for exhaust gas purification, as well as a catalyst for exhaust gas purification utilizing the composite oxide.
[0012]It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a composite oxide which realizes easy production of the composite oxide of the present invention capable of maintaining a large pore volume even in use in a high temperature environment.

Problems solved by technology

This results in reduction of its pore volume, causing aggregation of the catalytic metals and decrease in the contact area between exhaust gas and the catalytic metals, which leads to reduction of efficiency in purifying exhaust gases.
Besides, the method disclosed in this publication does not provide a composite oxide having a larger volume of pores with a diameter of not larger than 200 nm after calcination at 900° C. for 5 hours, than the composite oxide taught in Patent Publication 1.

example 1

[0064]This example relates to a composite oxide of cerium oxide and lanthanum oxide at a mass ratio of 90:10.

[0065]50 g of a ceric nitrate solution in terms of CeO2 containing not less than 90 mol % tetravalent cerium ions was measured out, and adjusted to a total amount of 1 L with pure water. The obtained solution was heated to 100° C., maintained at this temperature for 30 minutes, and allowed to cool down to the room temperature, to thereby obtain a cerium suspension.

[0066]After the mother liquor was removed from the cerium suspension thus obtained, 20.8 ml of a lanthanum nitrate solution (5.2 g in terms of La2O3) was added, and the total volume was adjusted to 1 L with pure water.

[0067]Then the cerium suspension containing a precursor of lanthanum oxide was maintained at 120° C. for 2 hours, allowed to cool, and neutralized to pH 8.5 with aqueous ammonia.

[0068]To a slurry resulting from the neutralization, an ammonium laurate solution prepared by dissolving 10.4 g of lauric aci...

example 2

[0070]This example relates to a composite oxide of cerium oxide and lanthanum oxide at a mass ratio of 85:15.

[0071]Composite oxide powder mainly composed of cerium oxide with 15% by mass of lanthanum oxide was prepared in the same way as in Example 1, except that the amount of the lanthanum nitrate solution was 33.2 ml (8.3 g in terms of La2O3). The properties of the composite oxide powder thus obtained were evaluated in the same way as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.

example 3

[0072]This example relates to a composite oxide of cerium oxide and praseodymium oxide at a mass ratio of 90:10.

[0073]Composite oxide powder mainly composed of cerium oxide with 10% by mass of praseodymium oxide was prepared in the same way as in Example 1, except that the lanthanum nitrate solution was replaced with 20.5 ml of a praseodymium nitrate solution (5.2 g in terms of Pr6O11). The properties of the composite oxide powder thus obtained were evaluated in the same way as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
