Abstract/Summary:
Temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) and desorption (TPD) were used to study decomposition and oxidation mechanisms of methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, formic acid, and acetic acid on Pd, Cu, and Ag catalysts. All five volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorbed mostly on ;On 3.7% Pd/;Adsorption of ethyl-1-;Lattice oxygen in CuO was active for oxidation of all five VOCs during TPD and TPO on CuO/;Silver was inactive for decomposition of all five VOCs during TPD on 2.1% Ag/...
