Carbon monoxide oxidation by atmospheric oxygen on catalysts prepared by pyrolysis of transition metal β-diketonates on the synthetic foam ceramics

The results of development of new catalytic systems for the carbon monoxide oxidation to dioxide are systematized. The catalysts were produced by gas-phase thermal decomposition of the transition metal acetylacetonates on the synthetic foam ceramics. The kinetic and activation parameters of the oxidation on the catalysts were studied and their relative activity was explored. The activity of catalysts at the oxidation with air oxygen were found to depend on the nature of the deposited metal and the carrier. A synergistic effect in the bimetallic copper catalysts was revealed.
