Abstract:
Chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) have become a focus and diffi⁃culty in the field of catalytic combustion of VOCs due to their extensive sources, high biological/ envi⁃ronmental toxicity, and easy inactivation of catalyst via Cl poisoning. Catalytic decomposition is consid⁃ered to be one of the most effective and feasible methods to reduce the emissions of CVOCs due to itssignificant advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency and less secondary by-products.Highperformance catalysts are the key to this technology. At present, the CVOCs degradation catalysts aremainly composed of single or complex metal oxide supports (e.g., Al2O3, TiO2, MgO, and CeO2)andnoble metal (e.g., Pt, Pd, and Ru) reactivity center. In the oxidation reaction of CVOCs, the noblemetal is easy to interact with Cl at low temperature, covering / inerting the active site, and resulting in adecrease in the low-temperature activity of the catalyst. Commonly strategy to improve the catalytic per⁃formance of supported precious metal catalysts include metal additive doping, active center state optimi⁃zation, carrier property regulation, reaction condition adjustment, etc. In this review, we briefly reviewthe research progress of noble metal (Pt, Pd, and Ru) -based catalysts in the catalytic oxidation ofCVOCs, including doping transition metals, changing the intrinsic properties of supports, and adjustingreaction conditions to improve catalytic efficiency and performance. In addition to this, the future per⁃spectives toward the development of CVOC purification catalysts are put forward.
