Monolithic macroporous Pt/CeO2 /Al2O3 catalysts were prepared using concentrated emulsions synthesis route,and the obtained samples were characterized with SEM,TG,TEM,XRD and TPR techniques. These monolithic catalysts were applied to water gas shift(WGS) reaction in reformed gases. The SEM and TEM results indicated that the monoliths possessed macroporosity,and that the platinum particles homogeneously dispersed on the supports with the particle size in the range of 1 2 nm. The reducibility of the catalysts was characterized by TPR method,and it was shown that the monolithic PtO x/CeO2 /Al2O3 exhibited the similar reducibility property to that of the particle PtO x/CeO 2 reported in literatures. The CO conversion over the monolithic catalysts is higher than that over micro-reactor catalysts for WGS reaction in the reformed gases conditions,indicating that the monolithic macroporous catalysts is a potential new route for miniaturization of WGS reactor.
