Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide on Co-, Ni-, and Cu-containing Catalysts Prepared by Pyrolysis of Metal β-Diketonates on Synthetic Foamed Ceramics

Catalytic systems containing Co, Ni, and Cu composite coatings prepared by gas-phase thermolysis of metal acetylacetonates and hexafluoroacetylacetonates on synthetic foamed ceramics were suggested for oxidation of CO to CO₂. The relative activities of the catalysts and the kinetic and activation parameters of CO oxidation were determined. The catalytic activity depends on the catalyst preparation procedure.
