Abstract
Activities of Pt, Pd and Pt + Pd catalysts (metal concentrations ≤ 0.4%) supported on γ-A12O3 and on TiO2 (anatase) for the complete oxidation of methane (300 ppmv) in air have been measured as a function of temperature; values of T10, T50 and T90 together with the Arrhenius parameters (activation energy and pre-exponential factor) are reported. Pt is less active than Pd when on TiO2, but more active when on γ-Al2O3, contrary to literature reports, but on both supports the Pt + Pd mixture is much more active than either metal separately, T10 for Pt + Pd/γ-Al2O3 being as low as 228°C. Possible reasons for this are briefly considered.
Activities of MnO2 on SnO2, y-Al2O3 and TiO2 (anatase) (̃ 7% Mn) and the supports alone for the complete oxidation of ethane (5000 ppmv) in air, together with Arrhenius parameters, have also been measured: MnO2/ SnO2 shows the greatest activity, T10 being only 256°C.
The significance of the Arrhenius parameters, which for the metal - containing catalysts exhibit compensation with increasing activation energy, and secure a more rapid increase in conversion from 0 to 100% as the temperature is raised.
