The catalytic ox&&Ion of mtnc oxide to mtrogen &oxide m the presence of sulphur dioxide over a standard Pt/S102 catalyst (EuroPt-1) was stuched The gas-phase reactions between mtnc oxide, sulphur choxlde and oxygen were found to be ms~gmficant under the expenmental conditions concerned The Pt/S102 catalyst was observed to be very actwe m catalyzing the reactions both of NO+ 0, to NO, and of SO2 + 0, to SOS In the presence of sulphur diomde, the catalytic activity for mtnc oxide oxldatlon dropped dramatically, and m contrast, the presence of mtnc oxide promoted sulphur dioxide omdatlon There IS sqmficant mfluence of NO/NO2 on sulphur dioxide oxidation, there are m&cations from temperature-programmed desorptlon and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) that some sort of complex species (e g [N,-S,-O,] ) ICI formed on the platmum Burface Deactmatjon of the catalyst was also observed dunng the act1vlt.y te& It 1s believed that the deactlvatlon of the catalyst wan malt& caused by the budd-up of some nitrogen and sulphur compounds on the actwe sites of the platmum catalyst Another reason for the deactwatlon could be the smtermg of platmum part&s m the reaction environment Thm has been confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TPR and platmum dx+ persion measurements
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
