| Toxic chlorohydrocarbons such as methylene chloride (MeCl;Catalytic oxidation is one of the most economic and effective methods of destruction of such halohydrocarbons. The present dissertation focuses on the development of suitable Y zeolite based catalysts for low temperature (250-350;After evaluation of metal loading, the reaction mechanisms behind catalytic oxidation of MeCl;Catalytic reactor results indicated that while any metal exchanged Y zeolite was effective for complete oxidation of MeCl;Mechanism studies showed that saturated chlorohydrocarbon (MeCl... |
