Preparation of Cu and Mn Bimetallic Catalyst Based on Co-Precipitation Method for Removal of Ethyl Acetate

초록

The catalytic thermal oxidizer process has recently attracted considerable attention for the oxidation and decomposition of volatile organic compounds at low temperatures (< 450 degrees C) with high efficiency (> 95%). Although many noble metal cata-lytic materials are well established, they are expensive and hazardous. Herein, highly active and low-cost Cu-Mn bimetallic catalysts were prepared using a simple and facile synthesis method involving the co-precipitation of Cu and Mn precursors. The synthesis of the catalyst was optimized by controlling the composition ratio of Cu and Mn. The optimized catalyst ex-hibited a large surface area of 230.8 m2/g with a mesoporous structure. To demonstrate the catalytic performance, the Cu-Mn catalyst was tested for the oxidation reaction of ethyl acetate, showing a high conversion efficiency of 100% at a low temper-ature of 250 degrees C.
