Abstract

On-line infrared spectroscopy has been used to show that isocyanic acid, HNCO, is a substantial primary product of the reaction between NO, CO and H₂ over a Pt/SiO₂ catalyst. At 230°C it accounts for more than 40% of the CO converted. No isocyanic acid is seen when Al₂O₃ is placed downstream of Pt/SiO₂, or when using a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst under the same conditions, due to rapid hydrolysis of HNCO on the alumina. Isocyanic acid may exist as a trace intermediate in automobile catalytic converters during their warm-up phase but it is unlikely to emerge from the pore system of aluminabased catalysts.
