Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The gaseous products of photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of acrylonitrile on sulphated P25 in concentrations from 10 to 100 ppm at 60 to 130 °C were CO2, HCN and HNCO. This photocatalyst showed disproportionally improved performance at higher temperature and longer retention times. The temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) after PCO disclosed possible reaction routes.
