Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts containing noble metals (palladium, platinum) on a support (aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, ceramic oxides) are effective for removing air pollutants (methane, carbon monoxide) from automobiles and transport vehicles through catalytic oxidation at temperatures 300 c and above. Comparing the different percentages of palladium and cerium in the prepared catalysts help with determination of which catalyst composition produces the best activity results. The catalytic activity (% conversion of carbon monoxide) was calculated from the concentrations (volume %) of carbon monoxide in the inlet and outlet gas feeds after the reaction. Results showed that different palladium and cerium percentages produced different catalytic activity results.
