We use in-situ DRIFTS to characterize carbon species on Pt/Al2O3 during propane oxidation.  We show that pre-adsorbed sulfur inhibits carbon deposition without having a significant effect on propane conversion.  We also show the effect of alkane chain length and the nature of the sulfur species on the carbon deposition behavior.
