Abstract

Zirconia-supported platinum catalysts doped with cerium, nickel or cobalt (Pt-Ce/ZrO2, Pt-Ni/ZrO2, Pt-Co/ZrO2) were prepared by a single step co-impregnation method and their catalytic performance on the water gas shift reaction (WGS) were investigated. A Pt/Ce/ZrO2 catalyst was also prepared impregnating ZrO2 sequentially with Pt and Ce in order to compare the effects of impregnation methods on the catalytic activities of the final form of the catalysts. The results showed that the co-impregnated Pt-Ce/ZrO2 catalyst was highly active for the WGS reaction at low temperatures (250 °C, CO conversion of 95.1, feed composition of 10 vol CO, 10 vol CO2, and 80 vol H2 in dry base gas, H2O/CO=6, GHSV= 6000 h-1) and kept its activity even after air exposure in every cyclic test. The temperature programmed reduction (TPR) pattern of Pt-Ce/ZrO2 indicated that the low reduction temperature of Pt induced by Ce gave rise to high activity on the WGS reaction. This Pt-Ce/ZrO2 catalyst can be considered as an efficient catalyst for the WGS reaction, where high catalytic activity and non-pyrophoric property were required.
