G. Centi et al., Room temperature decomposition of N2O in the presence of gaseous oxygen onprereduced Rh supported catalysts, CATAL LETT, 67(2-4), 2000, pp. 107-112
The room temperature decomposition of N2O over prereduced Rh-based catalyst
s (Rh supported on ceria, zirconia and titania-alumina) is studied as a fun
ction of the oxygen content in the feed. Results indicate that Rh supported
on titania-alumina shows lower degree of inhibition by gaseous oxygen on t
his reaction, attributed to the role of the metal particle-support interfac
e region in the reaction. The effect of Rh loading and of the reaction temp
erature are consistent with the hypothesis.
