Optimized CuO-CeO2 catalysts for COPROX reaction

CuO - CeO2 catalyst precursors were synthesized by homogeneous thermal decomposition of urea. Catalysts containing different Cu/Ce ratios were obtained after calcination of the precursors at 450 {ring operator} C and characterized by ICP-OES, N2 adsorption, XRD and TPR. Catalytic tests were performe...
