Abstract
Supported LaCoO3 perovskites with 10 wt.% loading were prepared by impregnation of different supports containing ceria with a solution of La and Co nitrates and citric acid. All precursors were calcined at 700 °C for 5 h. XRD investigations indicated the perovskite formation via “citrate” precursor only on ceria support. All catalysts were tested for toluene total oxidation in the temperature range 100–600 °C. In spite of a large surface area, alumina-supported perovskites showed a lower global activity. It appears then the necessity of the presence of a perovskite phase for good oxidative activity. In terms of reaction rates higher reaction rates per perovskite weight were observed for all supported catalysts when compared to bulk LaCoO3.
