Abstract

To improve the sulfur tolerance of CeO2-supported Pt catalysts for water gas shift (WGS) using waste-derived synthesis gas, we investigated the effect of synthesis methods on the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. The Pt catalysts using CeO2 as a support were synthesized in various pathways (i.e., incipient wetness impregnation, sol-gel, hydrothermal, and co-precipitation methods). The prepared samples were then evaluated in the WGS reaction with 500 ppm H2S. Among the prepared catalysts, the Pt-based catalyst prepared by incipient wetness impregnation showed the highest catalytic activity and sulfur tolerance due to the standout factors such as a high oxygen-storage capacity and active metal dispersion. The active metal dispersion and oxygen-storage capacity of the catalyst showed a correlation with the catalytic performance and the sulfur tolerance.
