Abstract
The catalytic performance of LaMnO3, La-Mn1-x-CuxO3, La0.8Sr0.2-Mn1-x-CuxO3, and La0.8Ba0.2-Mn1-x-CuxO3 for the title reaction was tested in the gas mixture of 1% CO, 0.5%~2% O2, 50% H2 in N2 and at a space velocity of 40 000 mL·g-1·h-1. The results show that the partial substitution of Cu for Mn in LaMnO3, and the partial substitution of Sr or Ba for La in La-Mn1-x-CuxO3 can enhance its catalytic activity. Among the catalysts investigated, the highest catalytic activity was observed over La0.8Sr0.2Mn0.5Cu0.5O3 catalysts: CO was completely converted to CO2 at 155 ℃ with a corresponding selectivity of 54%, which is close to the catalytic performance of some platinum catalysts. The conversion of CO was lowered with the addition of 15% CO2 in the reactant gas. The addition of 10% H2O in reactant gas reduced the CO conversion more markedly.
