Abstract

A simultaneous precipitation/digestion method has been developed to precipitate a crystalline cerium (III) carbonate (Ce 2(CO 3) 3·8H 2O) by a controlled reaction between aqueous solutions of Ce(NO 3) 3·6H 2O and K 2CO 3 at room temperature. The nano-sized CeO 2 supports with crystallite size of 8.0 nm and high surface area of 131.6 m 2/g were successfully prepared through a decomposition of a cerium (III) carbonate at 400°C for 4 h. The digestion time was optimized to get highly active 1 wt.% Pt/CeO 2 catalyst for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction. 1 wt.% Pt/CeO 2 catalyst exhibited the highest CO conversion (82%) and 100% selectivity to CO 2 at 320°C at very high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 45,625 h -1 if an optimized digestion time of 4 h was used for the synthesis of cerium (III) carbonate.
