Abstract The deactivation of noble metal catalysts by S ­ O2 and H ­ 2O is a common issue in the post combustion treatment of flue gases from sintering processes in the steel industry. In an effort to develop ­SO2-tolerant CO-oxidation catalysts, herein, we investigated the effect of S ­ O2 and H ­ 2O on the catalytic activity of Pt/TiO2(P-25) catalysts for CO oxidation using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier-transform ­ O2 and presence of H ­ 2O, enhanced the activity and (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Pt/TiO2(P-25) catalysts, in the absence of S stability of CO oxidation, while being largely suppressed and irreversibly deactivated in the presences of ­SO2. The XPS and TEM results suggested that variations in the Pt particle size and oxidation state were not major causes of the deactivation. Instead, according to DRIFT spectra, the interaction between CO and ­H2O at the metal-support interface was weakened after the formation of T ­ iOSO4 on the T ­ iO2 surface in the presence of S ­ O2. This resulted in a loss of the previously observed enhancement of CO oxidation under humid conditions. These results indicate that in the presence of S ­ O2, the formation of ­TiOSO4 is the major cause of irreversible deactivation. Therefore, removal of the ­TiOSO4 layer from the T ­ iO2 surface is a crucial step for catalyst regeneration. Graphical Abstract Pristine Pt/TiO2

1 Introduction TiO2 is frequently used as a supporting material for metal and metal oxide catalysts due to its high surface area, strong metal-support interactions, and chemical stability [1]. These properties also make T ­ iO2-supported metal or metal oxide catalysts promising for applications such as those related to the production of fine chemicals and catalytic CO oxidation. Among supporting materials for noble metal catalysts, ­TiO2-supported Pt (Pt/TiO2) catalysts showed higher activity for CO oxidation than other supported Pt catalysts (e.g., Pt/
