In the present work, we have investigated the reduction of NO by propane over perovskite-type oxides prepared by malic acid method. The catalysts were modified to enhance the activity by substitution of metal into A or B site of perovskite oxides. In addition, the reaction conditions, such as temperature, O₂ concentration, and space velocity have been varied to understand their effects on the catalytic performance. In the LaCoO₃ type catalyst, the partial substitution of Ba and Sr into A site enhanced the catalytic activity in the reduction of NO. For the La_0.6Ba(Sr)_0.4Co_1-xFe_xO₃ (x=0-1.0) catalyst, the partial substitution of Fe into B site enhanced the conversion of NO, but excess amount of Fe decreased the conversion of NO. The surface area and catalytic activity of perovskite catalysts prepared by malic acid method showed higher values than those of solid reaction method. The conversion of NO increased with increasing O₂ concentration and contact time. The introduction of water into reactant feed decreased the catalytic activity but the deactivation was shown to be reversible over La_0.6Ba_0.4Co_1-xFe_xO₃ catalyst.
