Abstract

Oxidative degradation of 1,2-dichlorobenzene using different loadings of metal (Mn, Ni, V, and Fe) supported on CeO2 was studied. All metal (Mn, Ni, V, and Fe) loaded CeO2 catalysts were synthesized using the method called wet impregnation and the as-synthesized catalyst materials were characterized using different analytical instruments such as FT-IR, SEM-EDX, XRD, BET, ICP-OES, and TEM methods. The oxidation reactions of 1,2-dichlorobenzene were studied by bubbling substrate (1,2-dichlorobenzene) with ozone (0.0794 mg/L) into a glass reactor via a porous bubbler of porosity 2 over a period of 24 h. A 2.5 % Fe/CeO2 catalyst was found to be the most active catalyst with a percentage conversion of 62 % within 24 h of ozonation. The oxidation products were identified using GC-MS and FT-IR spectroscopy was used to study the functional groups present in the ozonation product. The ozonation products that were identified are mucochloric acid and 3,4-dichloro-2,5-furandione. All the V loaded on CeO2 catalysts produced 100 % mucohloric acid at the end of ozonation (24 h).
