Recent Progress in the Removing Chlorine-Containing Volatile Organic Compounds (CVOCs) by Catalytic Combustion Method

Abstract

Chlorine-Containing volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) have received much attention due to their distinct toxicity, high stability and persistence in the environment. It is a great challenge to remove effectively CVOCs from waste gas in the environment control. Catalytic combustion or oxidation is a promising method for removing CVOCs because of its low energy requirement, low capital costs and diminished formation of NO_x. Here, the recent progress in the removal of CVOCs via catalytic combustion or oxidation method was reviewed. The typical catalysts used in catalytic combustion of CVOCs were summarized, such as noble metals, transitional metal oxides and perovskite-type catalysts, their nature and performance are discussed in detail. The deactivation and regeneration of catalysts were introduced and the research focus in the future was proposed.
