CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF EMISSIONS IN COMBUSTION SYSTEMS FOR FOREST BIOMASS, USING CATALYSTS WITH TiO2 SUPPORT

A study was made of the catalytic oxidation of a model mixture of effluents from forest biomass combustion equipment, consisting principally of methane (CH4), naphthalene (C10H8), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen-poor air (10% O2, balance N2), in a laboratory reactor, using MeOx/TiO2 catalysts (Me =...
