Catalytic and Atmospheric Reactivity for the Environment (CARE)

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can harm the environment and human health by causing respiratory issues, exacerbating air pollution, and contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone 1. Catalytic combustion provides a sustainable solution for VOC abatement, transforming these compounds into less harmful substances at lower temperatures compared to traditional thermal oxidation methods 2. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) stand out as promising catalysts for VOCs catalytic combustion, owing to their high catalytic activity, operational stability, and economic viability 3.
