In one embodiment, there is disclosed an apparatus for decontaminating exhaust gasses. The apparatus includes a monolith catalytic substrate having a length and a width. The substrates length separates first and second opposed ends. The first end and second ends each have a one piece retention ring fitted thereon. The apparatus includes a housing having a length separating opposed, spaced apart open first and second ends. The housing has a side wall extending substantially unbroken there between to define a body having an interior space. The monolith catalytic substrate is disposed in said interior space. The housing has a greater length than said monolith catalytic substrate. The substrate is centered in the housing and the housing is swaged at the first and second ends respectively to engage the retention rings and retain the monolith catalytic substrate within the interior space in said housing.

A catalyst for exhaust gas purification is described which includes a substrate and a catalyst coating layer provided on the substrate. The catalyst coating layer includes first and second metal oxide particles. The first metal oxide particles have a catalyst metal supported thereon, and the second metal oxide particles do not have a catalyst metal supported thereon. The first and second metal oxide particles have a specific particle size. This is because, when the sizes of the particles supporting the catalyst metal remain relatively large but the sizes of the particles not supporting a catalyst metal are minimized, it is possible to decrease the thickness of the catalyst coating layer while maintaining durability and improving gas diffusibility of the coating layer. Therefore, a thickness of the catalyst coating is decreased without decreasing durability, and the catalyst can exhibit high exhaust gas purification performance even under high load conditions.
