MnOx鈥揅eO2鈥揂l2O3 mixed oxide catalyst, which is efficient for soot oxidation in NO + O2 with T50 = 437 掳C, shows a poor resistance to sulfur dioxide with T50 raised to 534 掳C. The sulfated catalyst was treated in a reducing atmosphere (5% H2/He) at different temperatures (500, 600, and 700 掳C). The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer鈥揈mmett鈥揟eller (BET) analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), temperature-programmed decomposition (TPD) of sulfates, and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) of hydrogen. The catalytic activities for soot and NO oxidation were evaluated using the temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) process. The sulfates can be only partially removed by the reduction treatment at low temperatures, whereas the sintering of metal oxides turns to be a more important factor responsible for the deactivation of catalysts reduced at high temperatures. The optimized treatment temperature is 600 掳C, at which the reduced catalyst has a T50 value of 466 掳C for soot oxidation.
