Studies of the Adsorption of SO, H and O on a CrO Surface by an Electrical Conductivity Technique by Mahmoud M. Khader, Mahmoud M. Saleh, Ahmad M. Mohammad

“…In contrast, at temperatures less than 350°C, oxygen adsorption was retarded after an SO 2 flow, possibly due to the strong adsorption of a polymeric film of SO 2 . Correspondingly, after H 2 treatments, oxygen was adsorbed instantaneously at temperatures as low as 200°C, presumably because of the weak sorption of H 2 on the surface chromium ions. …”
