A complex combinatorial approach has been applied for the design of multicomponent Au/MgO catalysts for CO oxidation in the presence of hydrogen. The combinatorial library design led to unique earlier unknown catalyst compositions. The best catalysts contained significant amount of Pb and Sm, which had never been reported before as useful components of PROX catalysts. In order to increase the diversity of experimental space different pretreatment conditions have been applied prior to catalytic tests. Actually, two catalyst libraries have been tested after (i) a reductive, and (ii) a combined reductive pretreatment. Significantly different optimum compositions have been obtained upon using these two pretreatment procedures. The combined reductive treatment resulted in a more cost effective optimum composition with significantly less components and smaller gold content in comparison to the best catalyst obtained upon using a simple reductive treatment. Further studies showed different ways of promoting action of modifiers. After reductive pretreatment the modifiers suppress the hydrogen consumption, while after combined reductive pretreatment the modifiers lead to the promotion of both oxidation reactions.
Combinatorial approach using both library optimization and information mining tools was applied in designing multicomponent Au/MgO catalysts for CO oxidation in the presence of hydrogen. High activity (αCO) and selectivity (SCO) required the modification of both gold and the support. Different optimum gold and modifier concentrations were found depending on the mode of catalyst pretreatment prior to the use of catalysts.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
