Catalysts supported on alumina-silica glass fiber for neutralization of waste gases

Abstract

Technological parameters of catalysts production based on glass fiber have been investigated. Catalysts were made by deposition of different active metal ions on the amorphous glass matrix. The experimental results suggest the modified glass fibers as suitable supports for efficient catalysts for complete oxidation of organic compounds. Complete oxidation of carbon oxide is reached in the temperature range of 220–250 °C (gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) = 882 h-1), and complete oxidation of methane occurs in the temperature range of 400–450 °C (GHSV = 882 h-1). The experimental results made possible to calculate rate constants of oxidation reactions and activation energy.
