Heterogenous catalysis of dichlorodifluoromethane oxidation

Abstract

The use of alumina supported transition metal oxides in catalysis of the total "deep" oxidation of dichlorodifluoro­methane was studied. The study reveled an activation energy trend in the transition metals' dichlorodifluoromethane oxidation capabilities that patterns periodic table position of d-orbital electron occupancy. Rate constants and activation energies were determined for catalysts synthesized for each transition metal in the first row of the series. The catalyst with the lowest determined activation energy and highest rate constants was determined to be a 3% by wt. Ni based catalyst of NiO/Al203• Variation in trends with normal n-type, p-type semiconductors behavior in oxidation patterns were examined and Zn was determined to act differently than previously patterned based on oxidation mechanisms.
