Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the sulfur poisoning of metals. Sulfur apparently bonds so strongly to metal surfaces that marked activity reduction occurs at extremely low gas-phase concentrations of sulfur-containing compounds. In commercial practice, the life of supported metal catalysts may be reduced to only a few months or weeks in the presence of only ppm quantities of sulfur contaminants in the feed. Because of the essentially irreversible adsorption of sulfur compounds on metals, regeneration is usually impossible or impractical. This chapter integrates available information on the interaction of sulfur with metal surfaces with that of poisoning studies to provide a more complete picture of sulfur poisoning and of the mechanism. The chapter stresses the importance of experimental techniques that provide definitive, fundamental information regarding sulfur adsorption and poisoning.

Mechanisms of catalyst deactivation

TL;DR: The literature treating mechanisms of catalyst deactivation is reviewed in this paper, which can be classified into six distinct types: (i) poisoning, (ii) fouling, (iii) thermal degradation, (iv) vapor compound formation accompanied by transport, (v) vapor solid and/or solid solid reactions, and (vi) attrition/crushing.

Heterogeneous Catalyst Deactivation and Regeneration: A Review

TL;DR: In this article, a review on deactivation and regeneration of heterogeneous catalysts classifies deactivation by type (chemical, thermal, and mechanical) and by mechanism (poisoning, fouling, thermal degradation, vapor formation, vapor-solid and solid-solid reactions, and attrition/crushing).

Physical and chemical properties of bimetallic surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural, electronic, chemical and catalytic properties of well-defined bimetallic surfaces are reviewed and a very good correlation is found between the electronic perturbations in a bimetal system and its cohesive energy.
