FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a catalyst for cleaning exhaust gases, a method of regenerating such a catalyst, as well as a device and a method of cleaning exhaust gases using the said catalyst. The invention describes a catalyst for cleaning exhaust gases where a noble metal is attached to a metal oxide support. In an oxidative atmosphere, the noble metal on the surface of the support is in a high oxidation state and the noble metal is bonded to the cation of the support though an oxygen atom on the surface of the support with formation of a surface oxide layer. In a reductive atmosphere, the noble metal on the surface of the support is metallic state and the amount of noble metal open on the surface of the support, measured through CO chemisorption, is equal to or greater than 10 at % of the total amount of noble metal attached to the support. Described is a method of regenerating a catalyst for cleaning exhaust gases in which the above described catalyst for cleaning exhaust gases undergoes oxidative treatment by heating in an oxidative atmosphere which contains oxygen, and reduction treatment. Described also are devices for cleaning exhaust gases (versions) and a method of cleaning exhaust gases, involving cleaning exhaust gases by bringing the exhaust gases into contact with the above described catalyst.
EFFECT: prevention of reduction of catalyst activity.
