J. Oiuchisawa et al., OUTSTANDING EFFECT OF SO2 ADDITION ON THE RATE OF CARBON OXIDATION WITH A PT CATALYST, Chemical communications, (20), 1998, pp. 2255-2256
Addition of trace SO2 (ca, 8 ppm) to a reactant gas containing NO subs
tantially enhanced the oxidation rate of carbon black mixed with a Pt/
SiO2 catalyst, which is attributed to SO3 (or H2SO4) catalyzing the ox
idation of carbon by NO2.
