Abstract

The catalytic activity of Pt catalyst loaded on γ-alumina was improved by Ba addition in simulated automotive exhaust gases. On the other hand, the result of Rh catalyst was the opposite. From the results of the partial reaction orders in C3H6–O2 reaction and TPR, it was concluded that the Ba addition to Pt catalyst suppressed the hydrocarbon chemisorption on the Pt catalyst and therefore allowed the catalytic reaction to proceed smoothly. On the other hand, Ba addition to Rh catalyst caused such a strong oxygen adsorption on Rh that rejected the hydrocarbon adsorption and suppressed the reaction.
