ABSTRACT:
This specification describes a process and a catalyst for the removal of a gaseous carbon compound pollutant in the form of a gas containing the same by oxidation. The gas is passed through a catalyst bed in which the catalyst comprises a porous refractory support having a platinum group metal deposited thereon, said oxidation involving bringing said gas to its ignition temperature followed by combustion of said gas in the presence of said catalyst. In the process of the invention, the ignition temperature of the said gas is lowered to a temperature below 350.degree. C. and the catalyst used consists eessentially of an inert rigid unitary porous refractory ceramic honeycomb having deposited upon the surfaces which come into contact with the said gas a first layer of a catalytically active high surface area refractory metal oxide, a major proportion of which is selected from oxides of at least one of the metals of Group II, III and IV of the Periodic Table having atomic numbers not exceeding 40, and a second metallic layer deposited upon said first layer consisting essentially of an alloy or mixture of rhodium and platinum metals wherein the rhodium content of the alloy or mixture is within the range 30-40 wt % of the total rhodium and platinum present.
