Study on mesoporous catalysts for oxidation of volatile organic compounds

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from many industrial processes, are harmful to human health and the atmsphere. Several technologies are currently used to eliminate VOCs from the environment. Among them, catalytic oxidation has been recognized as one of the most efficient and promising ways to treatment VOCs. So high performance oxidants play an dominant role in the catalytic oxidation process. In this work, we discussed many researchers’ works about preparation and effect of their catalysts, kinds of mesoporous catalysts for eliminating VOCs were reviewed, the active components of the catalysts are noble and non-noble metal oxides, which loaded in the mesochannels of mesoporous materials including silica, titania and aluminia
