description This study shows the development of a combustion promoter for the oil-refining process called fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). The investigation of a catalyst prepared for the combustion of CO composed of 0.05 wt% Pt supported on SiO<sub>2</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–0.5 wt% W microspheres with high mechanical resistance, promoted with tungsten oxides (WOx) that can inhibit the sintering of Pt, is reported. The addition of WO<i>x</i> in SiO<sub>2</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> inhibited the decrease in the specific area when calcined from 550 °C to 950 °C. SiO<sub>2</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> support in the form of calcined microspheres with average diameters between 70–105 µm were produced by spray drying, using two atomization discs with vanes of different geometry: a straight rectangular blade disc (DAR) and a curved rectangular vanes disc (DAC). The DAR disk produced whole microspheres, while the DAC had hollow and broken microspheres. The microspheres were characterized by XRD, SEM, optical microscopy, N<sub>2</sub> physisorption (BET area) and fracture resistance tests. The Pt catalysts were evaluated by TPR, H<sub>2</sub> chemisorption and CO combustion. The catalyst of 0.05 wt% Pt/SiO<sub>2</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–0.5 wt% turned out to be the most stable. A thermal stabilization effect was observed at contents lower than 1 wt% W that allowed it to inhibit the sintering of the Pt catalyst.
