“…Catalytic oxidation is considered to be the most effective technology for this purpose, because VOCs can be oxidized to CO 2 over certain catalysts at much lower temperatures than in thermal oxidation. There are two main types of conventional catalysts used for ethanol oxidation reactions: noble metals (Avgouropoulos et al, 2006;Mitsui et al, 2008;Tang et al, 2005) and metal oxides (Idriss and Seebauer, 2000;Li et al, 2011;Ye et al, 2006;Trawczyñski et al, 2005;Luo et al, 2000). Taking account of economic factors and catalytic properties, recent studies on catalytic oxidation of ethanol have been more focused on metal oxide-based catalysts.…”
