Abstract
Based on the comparative evaluation of the catalytic activity of Fe2O3, Mn2O3 and SnO2 and their mixed oxides (Fe2O3+SnO2) and (Mn2O3+SnO2), it is shown that the system (Mn2O3+SnO2) shows strong synergistic effects during CO oxidation reaction. Such effects are not observed for the analogous system (Fe2O3+SnO2). Based on the calcination and reduction behaviour of these two mixed oxide systems and the redox potentials of the involved cations, the possible reasons for the observance of synergistic effects for the (Mn2O3+SnO2) system are discussed.
