Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Catalytic combustion method is effective for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from automobile or various industrial processes, and the development of novel catalyst material having a high activity at low temperature range is highly desired. This research demonstrates that the catalytic function of transition metal-based mixed oxide is dramatically amplified by adding a trace amount of precious group metal (PGM) species. For CO and C3H6 combustion, catalytic activity of Mn-based catalyst are enhanced by PGM loading. A small amount of PGM species adequately promotes the adsorption of CO or C3H6, resulting in the improvement of catalytic activity of Mn-based catalyst. These results suggest that the development of transition metal-based catalyst having high catalytic activity leads to reduce PGM usage.
