A carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as catalyst support impregnated with transition metal cobalt for CO oxidation at low temperature. Catalyst properties were analyzed by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Analytical results for TEM and XRD demonstrated that cobalt particles were highly dispersed on the carbon nanotube (20–30 nm) with nanosized cobalt particles (10–15 nm). These investigations indicated that Co/CNT generates about 99% of the high activity for CO conversion at 250 °C and thermally stability that is superior to Co/activated carbon (AC). The optimum reaction conditions for CO conversion were O2 concentration 3%, operation temperature 250 °C, CO concentration 5000 ppm, and space velocity 156,000 h−1. At 250 °C, CO may act as a reductant for NO reduction over Co/CNT in the presence of oxygen, whereas CO/NO = 2.5 showed that maximum NO reduction was 30%. Under H2 rich conditions, the optimum reaction temperature for CO conversion was under 300 °C, and performance of CO2 selectivity was better at 200 °C than 250 °C as the oxygen concentration increased.
