Abstract

The catalytic activity behavior for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by C3H6 under excess oxygen and the nature of surface species on the active sites of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst after adding a second metal (Fe, Sn, Co, Cr or W) were investigated. It has been found that an important role of second metals is on TONs of C3H6 and NO conversions and the nature of surface species produced on the catalyst surface at low temperature instead of the catalytic activity behavior towards the temperature programmed reaction. Although the introduction of each second metal distinctly disturbs the characteristic of surface species, the reaction mechanism is presumably similar. The observation of few surface species and the investigation about their reactivity indicate that few mechanisms are simultaneously proceeding at the same reaction condition.
