Abstract
Nowadays, MnO2-based catalysts have been widely applied in environmental fields, especially the removal of HCHO at room temperature. However, the moisture resistance of the catalyst is still a challenge. In this study, a series of MnTix/γ-Al2O3/Al catalysts were prepared by the methods of redox precipitation and impregnation, which showed excellent HCHO removal efficiency under humid conditions. When the catalyst accumulatively treated ca. 25 ppm of HCHO, there was still a HCHO conversion of 87.5% and the activity can be restored by washing and drying. DFT calculations, XPS, and TG results showed that Ti-modification could inhibit the adsorption of physisorbed water on the catalyst surface, thereby weakening the competitive adsorption between H2O and HCHO. This study provides a feasible strategy for the removal of HCHO under humid conditions.
