Abstract

Perovskite-type catalysts with LaFeO3 and substituted LaxCe1−xFeO3 compositions were prepared by sol–gel method. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO temperature-programmed reduction (CO-TPR), and SO2 temperature-programmed desorption (SO2-TPD). Catalytic reaction for NO reduction with CO in the presence of SO2 has been investigated in this study. LaFeO3 exhibited an excellent catalytic activity without SO2, but decreased sharply when SO2 gas was added to the CO+NO reaction system. In order to inhibit the effect of SO2, substitution of Ce in the structure of LaFeO3 perovskite has been investigated. It was found that La0.6Ce0.4FeO3 showed the maximum SO2 resistance among a series of LaxCe1−xFeO3 composite oxides.
