Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important air pollutant generated from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, particularly in industrial processes such as iron and steel smelting, power generation, and waste incineration, posing environmental challenges that demand effective removal strategies. Recent advances in noble metal catalysts for catalytic oxidation of CO, particularly Pt-, Pd-, and Rh-based systems, have been extensively studied. However, there is still a lack of systematic review on noble metal-based catalytic oxidation of CO, especially regarding the effects of different active components of the catalysts and the mechanism of sulfur resistance. Based on extensive research and literature findings, this study comprehensively concluded the advances in noble metal-based catalytic oxidation of CO. The effects of preparation methods, supports, and physicochemical properties on the catalytic performance of CO were explored. In addition, the mechanism of the catalytic oxidation of CO were further summarized. Furthermore, given the prevalence of SO2 in the flue gas, the mechanism of sulfur poisoning deactivation of catalysts and the anti-sulfur strategies were further reviewed. Exploration of new supporting materials, catalyst surface reconstruction, doping modification, and other catalyst design strategies demonstrate potential in improving sulfur resistance and catalytic efficiency. This study provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of noble metal-based catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of CO.
