Inverse single-site Fe1(OH)X/Pt(111) model catalyst for preferential oxidation of CO in H2

Controlling activity and selectivity using water in the Au-catalysed preferential oxidation of CO in H2.

Industrial hydrogen production through methane steam reforming exceeds 50 million tons annually and accounts for 2-5% of global energy consumption. The hydrogen product, even after processing by the water-gas shift, still typically contains ∼1% CO, which must be removed for many applications. Methanation (CO + 3H2 → CH4 + H2O) is an effective solution to this problem, but consumes 5-15% of the ...

CO Preferential oxidation promoted by UV irradiation in the presence of H2 over Au/TiO2.

The catalytic oxidation of CO was performed over Au/TiO(2) under UV irradiation in the presence of H(2) in different reaction systems. It was found that the introduction of H(2) enhanced the CO thermocatalytic oxidation in a CO pre-introduced system (CO/O(2)vs. CO/H(2)/O(2)), but suppressed that in an O(2) pre-introduced (O(2)/CO vs. O(2)/H(2)/CO) system. Although the CO oxidation in both CO/H(...

Competition of CO and H2 for Active Oxygen Species during the Preferential CO Oxidation (PROX) on Au/TiO2 Catalysts

Aiming at an improved mechanistic understanding of the preferential oxidation of CO on supported Au catalysts, we have investigated the competition between CO and H2 for stable, active oxygen (Oact) species on a Au/TiO2 catalyst during the simultaneous exposure to CO and H2 with various CO/H2 ratios at 80 ̋C and 400 ̋C by quantitative temporal analysis of products (TAP) reactor measurements. It...

Highly effective ferric hydroxide supported gold catalyst for selective oxidation of CO in the presence of H2.

Ferric hydroxide supported Au prepared with co-precipitation without heat treatment could be a very effective catalyst for selective CO oxidation in the presence of H2 at lower temperatures.
