The catalytic activity of LaFeO3 perovskite for the gas-phase destruction o
f chlorinated compounds was Investigated; 1,1,2-trichloroethylene in dry an
d moistened air was selected as the test compound. The catalyst showed good
activity and satisfactory stability for prolonged time on stream (>200 h).
Experimental data evidenced inhibition effects; a rate equation was propos
ed.
