The present invention relates to an improved catalyst support and to a catalyst suitable for treating the exhaust products from an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, obtained therefrom. The support of the present invention is a structure comprising alumina core particles having a high degree of porosity and surface area, the structure being clad on the surface of the alumina core. 1 to about 40% by weight silica. The resulting support has a normalized sulfur uptake (NSU) of up to 15 μg / m 2 . |
