This work focused on the development of Fe-Mn oxide catalysts for the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds. Among the synthesized catalysts, Fe3Mn1-RP exhibited excellent activity for the elimination of o-xylene. The catalyst showed superior performance due to its large specific surface area, good reducibility, high proportion of Mn4+, and the presence of oxygen vacancies generated by high iron contents. Density functional theory calculations were also conducted to understand the crystal structures, surface electron density distributions, and adsorption sites of the catalysts, providing a detailed mechanism for o-xylene oxidation.
The development of low-cost and easily accessible catalysts to realize the practical applications of catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds remains a challenge. In this work, a series of Fe-Mn oxides catalysts were prepared via a facile redox-precipitation route for the elimination of o-xylene. Among the synthesized catalysts, Fe3Mn1-RP exhibited excellent activity for o-xylene elimination with a T50 and T90 of 223 degrees C and 236 degrees C, respectively (o-xylene concentration = 500 ppm, WHSV = 36,000 mL g-1 h-1). Characterization results demonstrated that superior catalytic activity could be achieved from large specific surface area, good reducibility and high proportion of Mn4+. Besides, high Fe contents proved beneficial in generating additional oxygen vacancies, thereby improving the performance of the catalyst. The stable crystal structures and surface electron density distributions of the catalysts, and adsorption sites of o-xylene on the catalyst surface, were also determined through density functional theory (DFT) calculations to provide an in-depth mechanism on how the o-xylene oxidation occurred. Moreover, analysis of the energy barrier during the oxidation process proved that the ring-opening reaction on the surface of Fe3Mn1-RP with an activation energy as low as 2.46 eV would more likely occur via oxygen vacancies.
