Effects of hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide on the activity of Pt/WO3-ZrO2 for cumene cracking and hydrogenation were studied to find the way for controlling the acidic function and metallic function of a solid acid supported metal catalyst. Introduction of hydrogen sulfide suppressed only the hydrogenation activity, but did not affect the cracking activity, indicating that hydrogen sulfide suppresses the metallic function without changing the acidic function.
