Design and Synthesis of Supported Metal Oxide Catalysts on Activated Carbon for Removal of VOCs from Air, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Shaygan Salek, Jalaloddin (Supervisor) ; Khorasheh, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Emission of aromatic and aliphatic compounds to atmosphere is a major environmental concern for many urban societies. Catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an efficient and low operating cost technology for reduction of air pollution.
First, dispersed copper oxide nano-catalysts supported on almond shell-based activated carbon were prepared for catalytic oxidation of toluene in air. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to express the catalyst removal efficiency in terms of catalyst metal loading and calcination temperature. Calcination temperature had a significant effect on the catalyst activity only at high metal loadings (upper 8% wt.). Two different...
