Synthesis and Study of Catalytic Activity La2O3/ Al2O3 Nano Structure for Oxidation of Toluene

In the present investigation, removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from air was carried outby La2O3/ Al2O3 nano catalyst in a catalytic oxidation reaction. La2O3/ Al2O3 nanocatalyst was synthesized and thestructural characterization was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thecatalytic activity of La2O3/ Al2O3 and pure Al2O3 was studied for complete oxidation of toluene as one of volatile organiccompounds (VOC) in air at 350oC in a tubular reactor. An improvement oxidation of toluene was observed for La2O3/Al2O3 in comparison with pure Al2O3. According to the results , the nano catalyst activity increased with loading metal.
