Popis: Sulfate contamination of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts does not affect the metal properties for temperatures of reduction lower than 300°C. After hydrogen treatment at 500°C, the sulfate groups were reduced into hydrogen sulfide which poisons platinum. Poisoning by sulfate impurities is especially drastic for low metal loadings. The adsorption of CO in the bridged form is no longer observed for platinum sulfur coverages higher than 0.28 S/Pts. The rate of butane hydrogenolysis strongly decreases with the sulfur coverage. Hydrogenolysis at the end of the chain is less affected than hydrogenolysis in the middle of the molecule.
