Deep Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene over Pt/Zr(5)-HMS Catalyst

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the major pollutants of air. Petroleum refineries, fuel combustions, chemical industries and etc. are the main causes of VOCs. The most common VOCs are aromatic compounds that are almost carcinogenic for both humans and animals. Therefore, it is essential to minimize the release of VOCs. Among the various technologies, the catalytic oxidation of VOCs is the most popular method because of its flexibility to conduct a range of organic productions under mild conditions.This work discusses the Nano catalytic systems for the oxidation of VOCs. Reaction behaviors of toluene catalytic oxidation over Pt/Zr(5)-HMS catalyst was investigated in the temperature range of 200-350 °C. Results show that toluene as a volatile organic compound at 350 °C is more easily oxidized than other temperatures. The conversion was increased with the increase of temperature.
