Claims (22)

1. A method of making a sulfur-oxidation catalyst, comprising:

impregnating a catalyst comprising platinum with an aqueous ferric nitrate solution having an iron concentration of 10 w/v %;

removing excess liquid from the catalyst;

drying the catalyst;

calcining the catalyst.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is dried at 130° C.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is calcined at 400° C.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is dried at 130° C. and calcined at 400° C.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 1% to 30% by weight.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 2% to 10% by weight.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 3% to 7% by weight.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 4% to 6% by weight.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing the catalyst upstream of a sulfur-oxide trap.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the catalyst is dried at 130° C. and calcined at 400° C.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 1% to 30% by weight.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 2% to 10% by weight.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 3% to 7% by weight.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 4% to 6% by weight.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 1% to 30% by weight.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 2% to 10% by weight.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 3% to 7% by weight.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the steps of impregnating, removing, drying and calcining produces an iron concentration of 4% to 6% by weight.
