Co3O4 as an NH3-oxidation catalyst may transform reversibly to CoO under reaction conditions, even in the presence of excess oxygen. The use of alumina may then result in the formation of cobalt aluminate rendering the catalyst inactive. The formation of cobalt aluminate can be avoided by using ZnAl2O4 as a support.
