Lead Tolerance of Noble Metal catalysts for CO Oxidation

摘要

Lead tolerance of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts was evaluated for CO oxidation depending on the properties of the alumina supports and base metals added as promoter. Among the four different alumina supports, the support with a large macropore volume (0.45 cc/g) and 5% Ce has shown the best resistence to lead poisoning. Most of the base metals added to the Pt-catalysts were found to be ineffective for improving lead resistence, but boron has shown an excellent lead tolerence, although it decreases the initial catalytic activity.
