Popis: The kinetics of carbon monoxide oxidation over YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x and PrBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x catalysts was investigated in the temperature range 160 to 200°C and a single rate expression for all catalysts was derived. A reaction mechanism consistent with the kinetics is proposed: it involves the formation of carbon dioxide via two routes. In these, carbon monoxide reacts with either mobile lattice oxygen or with adsorbed oxygen species to give carbon dioxide. Oxygen-deficient samples are more active than oxygen-rich samples due to higher concentrations of oxygen surface vacancies and defects. The presence of water significantly diminishes activity reversibly, probably as a result of competitive adsorption with carbon monoxide.
