Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Formaldehyde Oxidation at Room Temperature of MnOx

MnOx (Na-OL-1, Ni-OL-1 and Ni-OMS-1) were synthesized and characterized by various techniques. The performance of formaldehyde oxidation catalyzed by the as-synthesized MnOx at room temperature was investigated. It is found that the catalytic activity of formaldehyde oxidation over MnOx had the order as follows: Ni-OL-1 >> Na-OL-1> Ni-OMS-1. Both microstructure and interlayer spacing of MnOx combined affected the activity of catalytic formaldehyde oxidation.
