Incinerating Volatile Organic Compounds with Ferrospinel Catalyst MnFe₂O₄: An Example with Isopropyl Alcohol

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Combustion of isopropyl alcohol using a green manufactured CuFe2O4

“…If no CuFe 2 O 4 , the IPA combustion started at about 120 • C, which is much higher than in the case of CuFe 2 O 4 presence. This is consistent with the MnFe 2 O 4 catalyst on IPA combustion [11].…”

“…It is a relatively cheap catalyst for replacing those of precious metal catalysts. Our previous work showed that hydrothermal synthesized manganese ferrite (MnFe 2 O 4 ) could convert IPA into CO 2 at space velocity of 24,000 h −1 , oxygen content 21%, 1700 ppm IPA, and at reaction temperature of 200 • C [11]. Although copper ferrite has superior catalytic activity [12][13][14], its effect on the thermal decomposition of IPA has not yet been reported.…”

Selective and fast recovery of neodymium from seawater by magnetic iron oxide Fe3O4

“…The formation equation of this magnetic iron oxide from hydrothermally ferrite process could be expressed as Eq. (1) [23,28]:…”

Assessing the performance of wastewater treatment with the combination of Fenton and ferrite process

“…Those precipitated ferrospinels are magnetic and can be easily separated from the wastewater by a magnetic field. Additionally, the sludge generated from the FP can be recycled as magnetic material or a catalyst (Lou and Tu 2005;Huang and Lou 2007). Therefore, the FP has significant potential for treating wastewater.…”
