Palladium oxide (PdO) catalysts supported on various alumina supports (θ-, δ-, κ-, η-, and γ-Al2O3) were prepared and the effect of the crystalline phases of the supports on the catalytic performance in methane combustion was investigated. Among the catalysts examined, the PdO/θ-Al2O3 catalyst, whic...
