Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: Different Mn (II) precursors' effects of MnO2 on toluene oxidation were observed. MnO2 -Ac showed the best activity, and good stability when 5% H2 O in exhaust gas. Specific surface areas, Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ and surface adsorbed oxygen affected the activity. Reaction pathway of toluene oxidation was presented over MnO2 -Ac sample. Abstract: MnO2 -Ac, MnO2 -N, MnO2 -Cl and MnO2 -S samples were prepared by the redox reaction between potassium permanganate and manganese acetate, manganese nitrate, manganese chloride and manganese sulfate and the effect of Mn (II) precursor on the toluene oxidation was studied. The physicochemical properties of these samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, N2 asdorption-desorption isotherms, H2 -TPR and XPS. Results showed that the catalytic activity of the four samples decreased in the order of MnO2 -Ac > MnO2 -N > MnO2 -Cl > MnO2 -S, which was highly related to the specific surface areas, oxygen vacancy concentration and the content of adsorbed oxygen. MnO2 -Ac owned potential for practical applications. It showed superior toluene oxidation activity with T90 of 200 °C, as well as excellent water-resistance and stability during 50 h at 300 °C. The good catalytic activities under high WHSV and high toluene concentration were also observed over MnO2 -Ac. Moreover, the reaction pathway of toluene oxidation was presented with the aid of In-situ DRIFTS.
