Abstract
A method for oxidizing carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is provided which utilizes specific supported catalyst particles. The supported catalyst comprises catalyst particles that are supported on particles of an electrically conductive support selected from the group consisting of graphitic carbon and a partially reduced oxide of a transition metal of the Magnéli phase selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mixtures thereof.
Claims14
Supported catalyst particles adapted to oxidize a carbon monoxide component of a gas to carbon dioxide by contacting said gas to the supported catalyst particles, the supported catalyst particles comprising catalyst particles supported in and/or on electrically conductive support particles of a partially reduced oxide of a transition metal comprising a Magnéli phase selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mixtures thereof, wherein the supported catalyst particles effect catalytic combustion of carbon monoxide.
