Catalytic decomposition of N2O in medical operating rooms over Rh/Al2O3, Pd/Al2O3, and Pt/Al2O3

Catalytic decomposition of N2O over CeO2 promoted Co3O4 spinel catalyst

“…The latter include combustion sources (stationary and mobile) [4,5] and chemical processes in which nitric acid is manufactured [1,3] or used for oxidation (for example, the oxidation of cyclohexanol-cyclohexanone mixture to produce adipic acid [1,6]). To control the emission of N 2 O, many catalysts have been reported for the catalytic decomposition of N 2 O, including supported metals [7][8][9][10][11], pure and mixed oxides [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and zeolites [2,4,23,24]. Among them, mixed oxides containing cobalt spinel showed the best catalytic activity in the decomposition of N 2 O [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Determination of N2O Emissions Levels in the Selective Reduction of NOx by NH3 Over an On-Site-Used Commercial V2O5–WO3/TiO2 Catalyst Using a Modified Gas Cell

“…Although N 2 O comes predominantly from natural sources such as microbial action in soils and oceans, representative anthropogenic sources, including adipic acid production, circulating fluidized bed combustions, nitric acid synthesis and the use of anesthetic in medical operating rooms of hospitals [2,[5][6][7] give large amounts in N 2 O emissions, thereby raising its atmospheric concentration. The transportation sector is among significant N 2 O emissions, as studied by Becker et al [8] who reported a 56-mg/km N 2 O emission from on-road vehicles.…”

Promotion effect of residual K on the decomposition of N2O over cobalt–cerium mixed oxide catalyst

“…N 2 O is produced by both natural and anthropogenic sources. To control the emission of N 2 O from chemical processes, the catalysts for N 2 O decomposition have been widely studied in the last three decades; these include supported metals, transition metal ion exchanged zeolites, pure and mixed oxides [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Among them, mixed oxides containing cobalt spinel (Co 3 O 4 ) showed the best catalytic activity in the decomposition of N 2 O [4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
