Study of kinetic parameters of catalytic additive oxidation of carbon monoxide

Thermal power plants are a proven source of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, which severely impact human health and our ecosystems. There are many ways to achieve CO removal; however, conventional methods of catalytic CO oxidation are cost prohibitive and depend on finicky and greedy noble metal catalysts that consume lots of energy. Here, we focus on the development and characterization of a new class of catalysts based on copper-manganese compounds, with the aim of catalytic CO oxidation that is both economically viable and operationally efficient. In this regard, one of the most significant contributions of this study is the development of a novel binder (cement, aluminum powder, and ammonium water)

which is capable of producing a porous mass which can be easily applied to the inner surfaces of the catalytic reactor tubes. The catalysts produced by this method show high mechanical and thermal stability, as well as high catalytic activity and selectivity. Moreover, these catalysts have low ignition temperature, low susceptibility to catalytic poisoning, and low hydraulic resistance, all of which favor their industrial applicability. The processes used to manufacture these catalysts are economically favorable, as they do not require the use of expensive or scarce raw materials. This study provides new fundamental information on the mechanism and kinetic parameters governing carbon monoxide catalytic oxidation, as well as valuable information

on the properties of the synthetic materials. This study aims to provide a stepping stone for the development of carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts and, more broadly, gas effluent purification technologies.
