Abstract

In this work, the Mn-doped Fe2O3 catalyst (Mn/Fe2O3) was prepared by hydrothermal and calcination methods to remove formaldehyde. The effect of calcination temperature on the structure and performance of Mn/Fe2O3 catalyst was elucidated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, selected area electron diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The result showed that the Mn/Fe2O3 catalyst calcined at 200 ℃ (MFC200) possessed the best specific surface area (176.04 m2/g, 4.96 times that of pure Fe2O3). The active oxygen content on the catalyst surface varies with the calcination temperature, and that of MFC200 sample is the highest compared with the samples calcined at other calcination temperatures. In addition, the content of Mn4+ species also varies with the calcination temperature, which plays a key role in Mn/Fe2O3 catalysts for HCHO removal. It is concluded that the high specific surface area, the abundant active oxygen species and rich Mn4+ were contributed to the excellent formaldehyde removal performance of MFC200 sample. The Mn/Fe2O3 catalyst will be a promising catalyst to degrade formaldehyde in industrial applications.
