CO to CO2 Using Magnesium Based Catalysts: An Overview

Stringent environmental regulations have been adopted by the government in order to decrease the emission of vehicular exhaust such as Sox, Nox, Co and unburned hydrocarbons. therefore, the development and exploration of catalysts started in the last century for the oxidation of carbon monoxide by different methods have attracted many researchers. therefore, large number of catalysts have been modified and tested for CO oxidation. t he developed catalysts have the ability of 100% conversion. Keeping in view of the literature accumulated in the last few decades for C o oxidation, Magnesium based catalysts have been reported by many scientists for CO oxidation due to its unique characteristics such as high catalytic performance at low temperatures and good durability and stability toward CO oxidation. t his article represents a short re view in tabular form which facilitates a quick view on compounds that have been reported with magnesium previously.
