It was found that catalysts prepared by microemulsion have better activity performance than those made by co-precipitation method. Therefore, reverse microemulsion method was adopted in this study to prepare ceria of different percentages of manganese doping for the selective CO oxidation. Activity test results showed that the best activity performance was obtained by the catalyst of 10% manganese-doped ceria, which displays a CO conversion of 52% at 70℃ and almost 98% at 95℃, while still achieving a high CO selectivity of almost 100% due to little hydrogen consumption. However, exceeding 100℃ hydrogen gradually reacts with oxygen resulting in a decrease in selectivity. In addition, from the competitive oxidation tests of CO and H2 at 120℃, it has been demonstrated that CO is more easily oxidized than H2. The catalysts studied in this work can exhibit high CO selectivity and low hydrogen consumption at low temperatures. Activity results also match with those of BET surface area and TEM characterizations.
