Abstract

Ozone is found to promote the monochlorobenzene (CB) catalytic oxidation over carbon nanotubes supported copper oxide composite up to reaction temperature of 300 C. Especially at 250 C, a CB conversion of 99 %, together with a CO2 selectivity of 98 %, was observed. The selective adsorption of CB, the promotion of Cu+ to Cu2+ oxidation, and the combination of O3 and high temperature activated gas phase O2 are all considered to attribute to the high CB conversion and CO2 selectivity at temperature above 250 C. Graphical Abstract: Effects of O3 on catalytic oxidation of CB over CuOX/CNTs were studied. A CB conversion of 99 % and a CO2 selectivity of 98 % were achieved at 250 C, which could be mainly attributed to the synergy between the CB oxidation by O3 and activated O2.
