Pd deposited on CeO2, MnOx-CeO2 and SnO2-MnOx-CeO2 solid solution were tested for low temperature CO oxidation activity. Among them, Pd-MnOx-CeO2 (Pd-MC) and Pd-SnO2-MnOx-CeO2 (Pd-SMC) showed excellent low temperature activity and over 90% of CO conversion was obtained at room temperature. SO2 poisoning tests with 200 ppm at room temperature showed that Pd-SMC could keep high CO conversion as compared to Pd-MC. The high CO oxidation activity of Pd-SMC at low temperatures could be attributed to strong oxidation ability of highly oxidized Pd species and interactions between Pd and solid solution support.
