Abstract:

Catalytic combustion is one of the promising technologies for highly efficient combustion of volatile organic compounds（VOCs）. This review covers the recent developments in catalytic combustion of VOCs over non-noble metal catalysts，including single metal oxide catalysts，mixed metal oxide catalysts and perovskite catalysts. Furthermore，the effect of water vapor on the catalytic combustion process is discussed. The process conditions in practical applications should be considered in developing high efficiency non-noble metal catalysts. Catalysis mechanism and catalyst synthesis optimization are two crucial points for the further study on new non-noble metal catalysts.
