Abstract
The paper reviews heterogeneous catalytic oxidation, focusing on its application to the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at operating conditions typical of field applications. The parameters for this review are: low to moderate temperatures (25-400 C), atmospheric pressure, high space velocity (1000-100,000/hr), and low organic reactant concentration (roughly 100-1000 ppm) in air. Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of organic compounds is an important and intensely studied area. However, most reported research deals with the partial oxidation of petrochemical feedstocks to make products of economic value (e.g., ethylene oxide from ethylene), automotive exhaust catalysts, or CO oxidation. Complete (or deep) catalytic oxidation of low molecular weight VOCs in air has received relatively little attention. (Copyright (c) 1987 by the American Chemical Society.)
