Abstract
A method of manufacturing a methane oxidation catalyst and methane oxidation catalysts formed by the method are provided. The method includes providing a palladium (Pd)-based catalyst including Pd dispersed onto a support. A magnesium (Mg) precursor is introduced to the Pd-based catalyst by one of ion exchange or incipient wetness impregnation. After introducing the magnesium precursor to the Pd-based catalyst, the catalyst is dried and subjected to a final heat treatment that includes hydrothermal calcination. A method of methane oxidation in a lean exhaust environment via the methane oxidation catalyst is also provided.
