Am. Bol'Shakov et al., Determination of free oxygen in the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxideson palladium-containing catalysts, J ANALYT CH, 56(7), 2001, pp. 679-681
A procedure is proposed for the in situ determination of free oxygen in the
high-temperature solid-phase catalytic reduction of NO based on an EPR stu
dy of the behavior of a reference addition of BaO. An approximating functio
n for the dependence of the relative intensity of EPR spectra on the concen
tration of resulting BaO2 was found. Concentrations of surface oxygen produ
ced on the catalytic decomposition of NO and NO2 on palladium in the system
0.4% Pd + BaO were determined.
