Abstract: A series of ZrxTi1-xO2 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.9, 1.0) mixed oxides were prepared by the co-precipitation method and were used as supports to prepare Pt/ZrxTi1-xO2 catalysts by impregnation with H2PtCl6 solution. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, and NH3 temperature-programmed desorption. The results indicated that the dominative crystalline phase of Zr0.1Ti0.9O2 is anatase and it has higher specific surface area (94 m2/g) and larger pore volume (0.33 cm3/g). Compared with the Pt/ZrxTi1-xO2 (x = 0, 0.5, 0.9, 1.0) catalysts, Pt/Zr0.1Ti0.9O2 shows excellent catalytic activity (T50 of HC and CO are 185 and 174 oC, respectively, and T90 of HC and CO are 197 and 201 oC, respectively) and low-level oxidation activity of SO2 (the SO2 conversion at 350 oC is only 25.5%).
