Method for production of an exhaust gas purification catalyst support and exhaust gas purification catalyst support

Abstract

To provide a method of production of an exhaust gas purification catalyst support preventing a drop in the heat resistance of alumina or other catalyst support due to the presence of titania and provided with a sulfur poisoning suppression action by titania and an exhaust gas purification catalyst support produced by the same. A method of production of an exhaust gas purification catalyst support comprising, in a basic solution, making alumina particles adsorb ammonium ions and then bringing titania sol into contact with the alumina particle so as to make the alumina particles adsorb the titania particles. An exhaust gas purification catalyst support where at least base points on the alumina particle surfaces adsorb titania particles and the pH does not rise when immersed in an ammonium nitrate solution.
