  • Title: Influence of catalyst pretreatments on the catalytic oxidation of toluene over nanostructured platinum based spent catalyst.
    Author: Shim WG, Lee JW, Kim SC.
    Journal: J Nanosci Nanotechnol; 2007 Nov; 7(11):3771-5. PubMed ID: 18047055.
    Abstract:
    In this study, we regenerated a nano-structured platinum based spent catalyst by applying thermal gas and acid pretreatment and examined the influence of treatment on the catalytic oxidation of toluene. The spent catalysts were pretreated with air, hydrogen and six different acid aqueous solutions (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4, CH3COOH and C2H2O4). The physicochemical properties of the parent and its modified catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, and ICP. The results of light-off curves showed that air and hydrogen treated catalysts were more active than the parent catalyst. In addition, the catalytic activities of toluene oxidation for acid aqueous treated samples were identical with the order of Pt/Al ratio.
