Abstract
Measurements of the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) were performed on several aged PtRh/CeO2-Al2O3 industrial catalysts, using different techniques, i.e ., TPR experiments, O-2 and H-2/O-2 chemisorption. The obtained OSC values were compared to the catalytic activity measured at 723 K in the simultaneo us elimination Of CO, C-3 hydrocarbons and NO. The best correlation was fou nd for the OSC measured by O-2 chemisorption at 298 K on the solids previou sly reduced at 573 K and which represents the most reactive oxygen atoms of the catalyst surface.
