<p>A catalyst is provided which is remarkably effective for catalyzing the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide at ambient conditions. This catalyst is prepared by contacting high surface area alumina with a solution of a cobalt compound (e.g., cobalt nitrate), adsorbing the cobalt compound on the alumina, removing the solvent, and thereafter heating the cobalt-treated alumina at a temperature of 400 DEG C to 1,300 DEG C in an oxygen-providing environment.</p> |
