CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF WO3 AND MoO3 WITH Pt AND Pd ADDITIVES IN OXIDATION OF HYDROGEN

We have shown that WO3 and MoO3 with Pt or Pd additives exhibit high catalytic activity in the reaction of H2 oxidation. In the temperature range 313 K to 353 K, we have studied the kinetic behavior of the reaction on 0.1 mass%Pt(Pd)/WO3 and Pt(Pd)/MoO3 samples. We have established that the kinetics of H2 oxidation on these catalysts correspond to an Eley – Rideal mechanism.
