Test of temperature programmed reduction (TPR) were carried out on the catalysts after being submitted to different thermal treatments and further reaction. TPR results showed the presence of different sizes of Pd particles. Appreciable changes over the reducible superficial species were reported when the catalysts were subjected to different thermal treatments. Catalysts were active for the NO reduction; however, in all cases low yield of nitrogen was obtained. Pd(7%)/La2O3-Al2O3 catalyst presented the highest conversion under the different reaction conditions, indicating that high palladium loading and a textural promoter (La2O3) favor the reduction of NO by CO. The initial injection of CO or NO and the thermal treatments caused a significant difference in the conversion, affecting the nature of the reducible superficial species. The CO saturation followed by the NO injection enhanced the catalytic activity. The reduction at 300°C and further reaction was the treatment that generated a more active surface.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Se estudió la actividad de los catalizadores Pd(7%)/Al2O3, Pd(7%)/La2O3-Al2O3, Pd(0.5%)/(20%)CeTbOx/La2O3-Al2O3 y Pd(0.5%)/(40%)CeTbOx/La2O3-Al2O3 mediante la reducción de NO por CO a 200°C, empleando la técnica de pulso. Se realizaron pruebas de reducción a temperatura programada (TPR) a los catalizadores luego de ser sometidos a distintos tratamientos térmicos y posterior reacción. Los resultados de TPR mostraron la presencia de partículas de Pd de distintos tamaños. Los catalizadores mostraron cambios apreciables en las especies superficiales reducibles cuando fueron sometidos a los distintos tratamientos térmicos. Los catalizadores resultaron ser activos para la reducción de NO; sin embargo, en todos los casos se obtuvo bajo rendimiento hacia nitrógeno. El catalizador Pd(7%)/La2O3-Al2O3 presentó la mayor conversión bajo los distintos esquemas de reacción, indicando que altas cargas de paladio y un promotor textural (La2O3) favorecen la reducción de NO por CO. La inyección inicial de CO ó NO y tratamientos térmicos causan una diferencia significativa en la conversión, afectando la naturaleza de las especies reducibles superficiales. La saturación con CO seguida de la inyección de NO favoreció la actividad catalítica. La reducción a 300°C y posterior reacción resultó ser el tratamiento que generó una superficie más activa.]]></p></abstract>
