CATALYST DEACTIVATION & POISONING AGENTS

The following partial list of poisoning agents and inhibitors have been found to have a detrimental effect on the 
activity of the noble metal catalyst. Optimum life and performance of the catalyst requires that exposure to these 
substances must be avoided. 

SUBSTANCE 

EFFECT 

REMEDIAL ACTION

1.  

Coating Agents

      a.  rust 

b.  dirt 
c.  inorganic oxides 

Covers catalyst active site. 

Non-phosphate detergent 
washing usually effective for 
removal. 

2. 

 Coating Agents - "Glass" Forming      

Materials          

a.  organic silicates  (esters) 
b.  silicones 

Covers catalyst active site. 

Replacement usually 
required.  Non-phosphate 
detergent washing may be 
effective. 

3.  

Poisons

a.  heavy metals  (such as 

mercury, lead, zinc, tin, 
arsenic, antimony, etc.)  

b.  phosphorus. 

Permanent catalyst deactivation 

None, replace with new 
catalyst. 

4.  

Sulfides

Permanent catalyst deactivation 

None, replace with new 
catalyst. 

5.  

Halogens

a.  fluorine 
b.  chlorine 
c.  bromine 
d.  iodine 
e.  halogenated hydrocarbons 

Low concentration exposure - 
Occupies active site resulting in 
inhibition of oxidation reaction.  High 
concentration exposure – Chemical 
reaction with washcoat components to 
resulting in permanent deactivation. 

Activity usually returns if low 
concentration source is 
eliminated.  High 
concentration exposure will 
require replacement with new 
catalyst. 

6.  

Organic Droplets and Aerosols

a.  Covers active site 
b.  Possible cause of catalyst hot spot 

Thermal cleaning in clean air 
at temperatures 200°F hotter 
than normal operating point 
or chemical washing with a 
strong alkaline solution.
