Abstract

ABSTRACT The CuCr mixed oxides catalysts supported on ZSM-5 zeolite (CuCr/ZSM-5) were synthesized via metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) method for catalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE). SEM, XRD, BET, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and XPS were tested. The active components were dispersed uniformly over the surface of ZSM-5 zeolite. The catalytic experimental results exhibited that the CuCr/ZSM-5 exhibited the best catalytic performance for TCE oxidation with 90% of TCE at 338°C and the concentration of C2Cl4 decreased compared with Cu/ZSM-5 and Cr/ZSM-5. The possible reason is that CuCr/ZSM-5 has superior reducibility, higher Cu2+ surface concentration as well as more surface oxygen.
