CO and NO adsorption on alumina-Pd-Mo catalysts: Effect of the precursor salts

Journal Article · · Journal of Catalysis
The effect of the palladium precursor on the CO and NO adsorption capacity of Pd-MoO{sub 3}/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts was studied. TPR and IR analysis showed that the palladium addition promoted the reduction of Mo{sup 6+} to MO{sup 4+}. The presence of a higher amount of molybdenum oxide partially reduced improved the NO dissociation to N{sub 2} and N{sub 2}O on Pd-Mo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts. This behavior was attributed to the formation of a lower fraction of inactive adsorbed nitrogen species on molybdenum oxide partially reduced. The catalytic behavior of the Pd-Mo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts on the NO + CO reaction could be explained by a bifunctional mechanism. After adsorption and dissociation of NO on Mo{sup 4+}, the oxygen dissociated is transferred to the Pd. The CO adsorbed on the Pd surface reacts to CO{sub 2}.
