Abstract
- This study describes the use of succinylated twice-mercerized sugarcane bagasse containing adsorbed Cu 2+ or Ni 2+ ions from spiked aqueous solutions (2MSBA-Cu and 2MSBA-Ni) as heterogeneous catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of n -hexane and n -heptane in gas phase. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in which a spent adsorbent material based on lignocellulose biomass is used in the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds. The adsorbent and spent adsorbent materials were characterized by FTIR, TGA and XRD. The amount of Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ adsorbed on 2MSBA was 0.49 and 2.49 mmol g −1 , respectively. The catalysts were active for total oxidation of n -hexane and n -heptane, even at low temperatures. 2MSBA-Cu exhibited higher catalytic activity than 2MSBA-Ni and surprisingly their performances were comparable or superior to those of some catalysts reported in the literature, including noble metal-based catalysts.
