Abstract: Pt catalysts have been researched and used for HI decomposition. Specifically, the effects of supports and reduction temperature on metal dispersion were investigated in this paper. Metal dispersion was high measured, in the order of Pt/Al₂O₃, Pt/ZrO₂, and Pt/SiO₂. HI conversion results coincided with the metal dispersion. With effect on reduction temperature, Pt dispersion was measured as 2.9 %, 26 %, and 60 % each 1173K, 973K, and 773 K. In addition, HI conversion presented 7.8%, 16.3%, and, 19.4% respectively. Consequently, Pt dispersion, influenced by supports and reduction temperature was considered to be crucial role in HI conversion.
