Dd. Agarwal et Hs. Goswami, TOLUENE OXIDATION ON LACOO3, LAFEO3, AND LACRO3 PEROVSKITE CATALYSTS - A COMPARATIVE-STUDY, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 53(2), 1994, pp. 441-449
Vapor phase catalytic oxidation of toluene over perovskites viz., LaCo
O3, LaCrO3 and LaFeO3 has been studied. The maximum activity was obser
ved at 45 degrees C. The oxidation is first order. The order of cataly
tic reactivity is LaCoO3 > LaFeO3 > LaCrO3. The activation energy (E(a
)) values for LaCoO3, LaFeO3 and LaCrO3 are 13.4, 23.93 and 25.31 kJ/m
ol, respectively.
