Air Pollution Control by Oxidation of Aromatic Hydrocarbon over Supported Metal Oxide

Sompoch Pooperasupong^a*, Brigitte Caussat^b and Somsak Damronglerd^a

 
ABSTRACT:   The oxidation of styrene has been investigated over copper oxide and nickel oxide supported on commercial NaX zeolite. The catalyst screening illustrated that nickel oxide catalyst was the most active catalyst. The conversion to CO₂ became appreciable in the range of 220-280 ํC. The reaction rate depended mainly on the styrene concentration and the reaction temperature. The apparent activation energies over copper oxide and nickel oxide were determined to be 251.3 and 273.1 cal/mole, respectively
