Abstract
Gaseous toluene, one of the volatile organic compounds, has aroused wide concerns in China due to its growing emissions and harmfulness. Herein, novel manganese decorated UIO-66 catalysts (Mn/UIO-66) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and applied to the vaporized hydrogen peroxide system for toluene removal. TEM, BET, XRD, ICP, and XPS were used to analyze the chemical and physical characteristics of Mn/UIO-66. A toluene removal efficiency of 82% with the 3-Mn/UIO-66 catalyst in the vaporized hydrogen peroxide system could achieved. The effects of different reaction conditions (reaction temperature, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and initial toluene concentration) on toluene removal were determined. The yield of hydroxyl radical in the Mn/UIO-66 catalyst combined with the hydrogen peroxide system was positively correlated with the Mn decorated ratio. Results suggested that the catalytic performance is related not only to the yield of hydroxyl radical but also to the catalyst specific surface. The intermediate products during toluene removal were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and the possible reaction pathway of toluene removal was proposed.
