Abstract
Under dark/low temperature (DLT) conditions, the oxidative removal of gaseous formaldehyde (FA) was studied using eggshell waste supported silver (Ag)-manganese dioxide (MnO2) bimetallic catalysts. To assess the synergistic effects between the two different metals, 0.03%-Ag-(0.5–5%)-MnO2/Eggshell catalysts were prepared and employed for DLT-oxidation of FA. The steady-state FA oxidation reaction rate (mmol g-1 h-1), when measured using 100 ppm FA at 80 °C (gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 5308 h-1), varied as follows: Ag-1.5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (9.4) > Ag-3%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (8.1) > Ag-1.5%-MnO2/Eggshell (7.5) > Ag-5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (7.2) > Ag-1.5%-MnO2/CaCO3-R (6.8) > MnO2-R (6) > Ag-0.5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (3.2) > Ag/Eggshell-R (2.6). (Here, ‘R’ denotes hydrogen-based thermochemical reduction pretreatment.) The temperature required for 90% FA conversion (T90) at the same GHSV exhibited a contrary ordering: Ag/Eggshell-R (175 °C) > Ag-0.5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (123 °C) > Ag-5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (113 °C) > MnO2-R (99 °C) > Ag-1.5%-MnO2/Eggshell (96 °C) > Ag-3%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (93 °C) > Ag-1.5%-MnO2/Eggshell-R (77 °C). The eggshell catalyst outperformed the ones made of commercial calcium carbonate due to the presence of defects in the former. The MnO2 co-catalyst enhances the catalytic activities through the capture and activation of atmospheric oxygen (O2) with rapid catalytic regeneration. Also, MnO2 favorably captures the hydrogen of the adsorbed FA molecules to make the oxidation pathway thermodynamically more favorable.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
