Abstract

Au catalysts on different type of reducible supports (TiO 2, Co 3O 4–CeO 2 mixed oxide, CeO 2, Co 3O 4) and over a non-reducible oxide, Al 2O 3, were prepared by deposition–precipitation method with Na 2CO 3 solution at pH 7–8, depending on the PZC of the supports. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, TEM and XPS techniques. The catalytic activity was investigated in the CO oxidation and in the preferential CO oxidation in the presence of hydrogen (PROX). The results were discussed in terms of nature of gold species and role of the support in the reaction mechanism.
