Abstract
In the presence of SO2 the efficiency of oxidation of CO and hydrocarb ons over supported platinum group metals is lowered. Spectral measurem ents under reaction conditions made it possible to determine two possi ble reasons for this phenomenon: an increase in the degree of oxidatio n of the supported metal atoms in the presence of SO2 and blocking of the active phase as a result of the formation of Pt-SO(x) surface comp lexes. One of the methods of decreasing the contaminating effect of SO 2 is protection of the support surface with a coating Of SiO2 which su bstantially lowers the rate of formation of sulfates and decreases the stability of the Pt-SO(x) surface complexes.
