Abstract
The present work is devoted to revealing kinetic regularities of carbon monoxide oxidation using palladium on carbon (palladium black) and alumina with the addition of 0.1 mass% and 0.04 mass% of palladium as catalysts. The initial pressures of carbon monoxide and oxygen were: PCO = 0.13–1.33 kPa and PO2 = 2.67–16 kPa. The reaction was studied in the temperature range of 70–210°C. Small addition of palladium (0.04–0.1 mass%) to alumina led to a significant increase in catalytic activity.
