TERNARY OXIDE CATALYST FOR CATALYTIC COMBUSTION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROCARBON

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an inexpensive and high-performance catalyst for the catalytic combustion of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from the oxides of silver, cobalt, and manganese. CONSTITUTION:As a ternary oxide catalyst on which carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons present in exhaust gas from automobile, heating stove, etc., are burned completely without smoke formation and easily at a comparatively low temperature, a catalyst consisting of oxides of silver, cobalt, and manganese is used. The catalyst is inexpensive and also available in great quantities and has a catalytic activity and a durability similar to or higher than the platinum-based metal catalysts. Thus, the catalyst is high in practical value.
