Sa. Solovev et al., CATALYTIC REMOVAL OF CARBON-MONOXIDE FROM GASES AT LOW-TEMPERATURES, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(9), 1992, pp. 1555-1559
A study was made of the low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide u
sing both heavy catalysts (manganese oxide, manganese-palladium, manga
nese-silver, hopcalite), and catalysts deposited onto mordenite (manga
nese oxide, cobalt oxide, palladium). It was found that when carbon mo
noxide reacted with atmospheric oxygen at room temperature the cobalt
oxide and palladium catalysts deposited on mordenite were considerably
more active than hopcalite, even in the presence of water vapor. By i
ntroducing small quantities of ozone into the gaseous reaction mixture
it was possible to intensify the carbon monoxide oxidation process wi
th these catalysts.
