Cx. Qi et al., INFLUENCE OF MGO LOADING ON THE STRUCTURE AND CATALYTIC PERFORMANCE OF PD GAMMA-AL2O3 .1. EFFECT OF INTERACTION BETWEEN MGO AND GAMMA-AL2O3/, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 54(1), 1995, pp. 131-136
The influence of MgO dispersed on gamma-Al2O3 in different ent amounts
on the structure and performances of Pd/gamma Al2O3 catalysts has bee
n studied by means of XRD, H-2-O-2 titration, BET and catalytic activi
ty test for CO oxidation. It was found that introduction of MgO enhanc
ed greatly the CO oxidation activity of the catalyst. It seems that th
e enhanced activity stems from the stronger interaction between MgO an
d gamma-Al2O3 at a given temperature (e.g. 450 degrees C).
