Carbon monoxide oxidation at room temperature on Pt/CeO2-ZrO2-Bi2O3 catalysts.

A novel Pt/CeO(2)-ZrO(2)-Bi(2)O(3) catalyst was prepared to realize complete CO oxidation at room temperature or below even in the presence of moisture. Using this catalyst, a high CO oxidation activity and a high stability against moisture have been realized simultaneously.

Total oxidation of toluene on Pt/CeO2-ZrO2-Bi2O3/gamma-Al2O3 catalysts prepared in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone.

Pt/CeO(2)-ZrO(2)-Bi(2)O(3)/gamma-Al(2)O(3) (Pt/CZB/Al(2)O(3)) catalysts for the catalytic combustion of toluene, which is one of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), were prepared by the wet impregnation method in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and BET specific surface area measurement using N(2) adsorption have been used to characterize the catalysts. The catalytic test was conducted from room temperature in a flow of 900 ppm of toluene in air and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 8000 h(-1).
