The destruction of dichloroethane over a γ–alumina supported manganese oxide catalyst

Some people believe that the best technique to eliminate these toxic materials in the waste stream is catalytic oxidation. Therefore, heterogeneous catalytic incineration has been paid the most attention lately because it is a final disposal and energy saving process. However, chlorinated VOCs may deactivate the catalyst and reduce the advantage of catalytic incineration. Catalysts reported for destructive oxidation of chlorinated VOC mostly consist of tradition metal oxides on acidic supports and some of the most active ones are based on chromium, copper, cobalt, and manganese.
