Abstract :
Total combustion of methyl ethyl ketone and benzyl alcohol as two models of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using catalytic method was studied over ?-Al2O3 and Mn/?-Al2O3 catalysts. Catalyst (Mn/?-Al2O3) was prepared by wet impregnation and characterized using XRD, BET, ICP-AES and SEM methods and the nanostructure of the catalyst were approved. The activity of the catalysts was measured in a catalytic packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and different reaction temperatures at range 150 to 450°C. The studies confirmed that manganese supported on ?-Al2O3 can be suitable for the abatement of the mentioned pollutants from contaminated air and hopefully holds the promise for the elimination of VOC containing hazardous materials in industrial applications.
