Abstract

Platinum-alumina (Pt/γ-Al2O3) membrane was prepared using evaporative-crystallization deposition method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) destruction. SEM-EDXA observation, BET measurement, permeability assessment and the catalytic oxidation of propane, n-butane and propylene representing VOC was obtained. Remarkable propane conversion of VOC with Pt catalyst was achieved at moderate temperature. The temperature at which the catalytic combustion takes place for the VOC is lower than the one obtained from the literature for the same VOC on Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The conversion was achieved by varying the reaction temperature using flow-through catalytic membrane reactor operating in the Knudsen flow regime.
