Abstract

Catalytic incineration is one of the cost-effective technologies to deal with unwanted volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Catalytic incineration of styrene over a MnO/Fe 2O 3 catalyst was carried out in a bench scale catalytic incinerator. Three kinetic models, the power–rate law, the Mars and van Krevelen model and the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model were used to analyze the results. A differential reactor design was used for best fit of kinetic models in this study. The results show that the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model may be feasible to describe the catalytic incineration of styrene. This suggests that the chemical adsorption of either O 2 molecules or O atoms is important in the process of catalytic incineration of styrene.
