Abstract

Since actual industrial emissions contain a wide range of volatile organic compounds, studies into the simultaneous catalytic degradation of multi-component VOCs are essential. This work developed Pd-CeZrOx samples for the simultaneous elimination of benzene and toluene. Firstly, CeZrOx supports were synthesized using several methods (co-precipitation, CTAB template co-precipitation, and sol–gel method). Pd active species were then added into the 1.0Pd-CeZrOx samples using the impregnation procedure. XRD, BET, NH3-TPD, Raman, EPR, XPS, and H2-TPR were utilized to analyze the as-prepared Pd-CeZrOx samples. The catalytic performance tests reveal that the performance of 1.0Pd-CeZrOx-CTAB outperforms that of 1.0Pd-CeZrOx-PM and 1.0Pd-CeZrOx-CASG, and 1.0Pd-CeZrOx-CTAB displays superior catalytic activity for both benzene and toluene oxidation. The improved redox properties, the abundant surface oxygen vacancies, and the surface Pd2+ species of the 1.0Pd-CeZrOx-CTAB sample may be responsible for the simultaneous degradation activity of benzene and toluene.
