Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the feasibility study of benzene removal using V2O5 MoO3/TiO2 . The catalysts are prepared by the wet impregnation method and characterized by ICP-OES, single point BET, XRD and NH3-TPD techniques. The experiment carried out in a stainless steel fix bed reactor. Firstly, the catalyst activity for benzene oxidation and NO reduction are separately evaluated. Then, the simultaneous removal of benzene and NO of each catalyst is performed. The reaction temperature is between 120 450 oC. The experimental results reveal that, in the separate system 2V12Mo has the highest benzene conversion and benzene conversion to CO2 while 2V14Mo has the highest NO conversion in the temperature range 250 300 oC. In the combine system 2V12Mo is the appropriate catalyst for converting benzene to CO2 and NO removal.
