Abstract
The oxidation reactions of dichloromethane, dichloroethane and n-hexane were carried out over honey-comb type platinum basic VOC catalyst (BVC) containing vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, copper or barium. In dichloromethane and dichloroethane catalytic oxidation up to 450 °C, chromium was found as the most active component. Although vanadium was also effective initially, it was deactivated after treatment in the furnace at 800 °C for 120 hours. Chromium, cobalt, vanadium and barium promoted catalysts showed higher activities than BVC in the reaction of n-hexane.
