A Mechanistic Study of Sulfur Poisoning of the Water-Gas-Shift Reaction Over Pd/Ceria
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of sulfur on the water-gas-shift (WGS) activity of Pd/ceria catalysts has been studied using steadystate rate measurements, pulse-reactor studies, and FTIR. After exposing Pd/ceria to SO2 at 673 K in an oxidizing environment, the WGS rates dropped to a value close to that observed on Pd/alumina. Both pulsereactor and FTIR measurements showed that cerium sulfates can be readily reduced by CO and re-oxidized by O2 at 723 K; however, unlike reduced ceria, the Ce2O2S formed by reduction of the sulfates cannot be reoxidized by H2O or CO2. The implications of these measurements for understanding oxygen-storage capacity (OSC) of three-way catalysts are discussed.

The Activity of Fe-Pd Alloys for the Water-Gas Shift Reaction
The role of Fe promoters has been investigated on Pd/ceria, Pt/ceria and Rh/ceria catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction in 25 Torr of CO and H2O, under differential reaction conditions. While no enhancement was observed with Pt and Rh, the activity of Pd/ceria increased by as much as an order of magnitude upon the addition of an optimal amount of Fe. Similarly, the addition of 1 wt% ...
متن کاملDeactivation Mechanisms for Pd/Ceria During the Water-Gas Shift Reaction
The mechanism responsible for the irreversible deactivation of ceria-supported precious metals for the watergas-shift reaction has been investigated through accelerated aging tests. It is shown that deactivation of Pd/ ceria occurs more rapidly at 673 K compared to 523 K when operating with an integral reactor in 25 torr each of CO and H2O. By heating a fresh catalyst in H2, H2O, CO, or CO2, it...

The effect of adding oxide promoters, at monolayer coverages, to Pd/ceria catalysts was studied for the watergas-shift reaction in 25 torr each of H2O and CO under differential conditions. Oxides of Fe, Tb, Gd, Y, Sn, Sm, Pr, Eu, Bi, Cr, V, Pb, and Mo were added to ceria by wet impregnation of aqueous salts and calcined to 873 K prior to addition of 1 wt% Pd. While most of the oxides had a negl...
متن کاملAn Examination of Sulfur Poisoning on Pd/Ceria Catalysts
The species formed by exposure of a Pd/ceria catalyst to SO2 under various conditions have been studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and FTIR. For adsorption of SO2 between 298 and 473 K, a molecular SO2 species adsorbs on the surface, possibly as a surface sulfite; and this species converts to a sulfate above 473 K. Exposure of Pd/ceria to SO2 at temperatures above 473 K in th...
متن کاملCeria-based catalysts for the recovery of elemental sulfur from SO2-laden gas streams
The catalytic reduction of SO2 to elemental sulfur by CO or CH4 over ceria-based catalysts under demanding operating conditions is reported in this paper. Cuor Ni-containing ceria catalysts have been shown before to be highly active and selective for SO2 reduction by CO in dry gas streams or in the presence of low amounts of H2O. In this work, the activity/selectivity of 10 at.%La-doped ceria, ...
