The Ni based adsorbent was prepared by co-precipitation method and its performance for removing carbon monoxide was investigated. Here, silica, aluminium silicate and ${\gamma}$-alumina were used for carriers of catalyst. $Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $Ni(CH_3COO)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ were utilized for Ni precursors. Precipitants were urea and citric acid. After precipitation of Ni salt on the carrier and following reduction using $H_2$ gas, adsorbent was prepared and its performance was analyzed based on EDS, TPR and XRD experiments. In accordance with change of precipitation agents, Ni salts on carrier, carriers and reduction condition. Adsorbent performance for removing carbon monoxide was investigated. The adsorbent with 54.8 wt% Ni prepared using urea precipitant under reduction condition at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 h exhibited the best CO removal performance.
