Abstract
Pd/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>catalysts are known to be active for low temperature methane oxidation reactions, however it has been shown that gases normally associated with methane gas streams (H<sub>2</sub>O, CO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>S) can have an inhibitory effect on the total oxidation reaction.
