A process for the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide with an inorganic oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of water, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide, which comprises combining the carbon monoxide with a predetermined amount of said oxidizing agent to give at least a stoichiometric amount of the oxidizing agent for the oxidation of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and passing the mixture over a novel ceramic catalyst at an elevated temperature. |
