As a method for producing rutile type titanium oxide, a known method can be used, and for example, the following methods can be mentioned.

According to the method for oxidizing carbon monoxide of the present invention, since the above-mentioned carbon monoxide oxidation catalyst is used, carbon monoxide can be oxidized by a catalytic reaction even at a reaction temperature of 100 ℃. Carbon dioxide is generated by oxidation of carbon monoxide.
The step of oxidizing may be performed by supplying the mixed gas containing a carbon monoxide gas and an oxygen gas to a housing portion housing the carbon monoxide oxidizing catalyst, for example. At this time, the carbon monoxide gas in the mixed gas is oxidized by the oxygen gas in the mixed gas.
The housing portion may be a part of a device, an appliance, or the like.
A step of preparing a mixed gas containing carbon monoxide gas and oxygen gas by mixing, chemical reaction, or the like of gases may be provided before the step of oxidizing.
The mixed gas may be, for example, a gas containing air, or may be composed of air.

A raw material gas (composition: carbon monoxide 600ppm, molecular oxygen (oxygen) 21 vol%, nitrogen balance, relative humidity 60% RH, hydrogen chloride concentration 0 vol%) prepared by mixing carbon monoxide, oxygen, nitrogen and water was supplied at a rate of 1600h-1The reaction mixture was fed into a reactor and reacted at 25 ℃.
The outlet Gas (Gas after reaction) at 1 hour from the start of the reaction was sampled, and the concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide were analyzed by a Gas probe tube (Gas Tech co., ltd.) to determine the conversion (%) of carbon monoxide in the same manner as in (2) of example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
< comparative example 1 >
(1) Preparation of the catalyst
Gamma-alumina (made by Strem Chemicals, inc.) was impregnated with a commercially available aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid hydrate, and then dried. Then, the resultant was fired at 250 ℃ for 2 hours in air to obtain a platinum alumina in which platinum was supported on the γ -alumina carrier at a supporting rate of 3 wt%. The platinum content in the catalyst was 3 wt%.
(2) Oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide
The oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide was carried out in the same manner as in (2) of example 1 except that the obtained platinum alumina was charged into the reactor, and the conversion (%) of carbon monoxide was determined. The results are shown in Table 1.
