Abstract:V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts were widely used for denitrification in coal-fired power plants, and had good performance on catalytic degradation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) due to the strong resistance to chlorine poisoning of V2O5. In this study, supported catalysts with different contents of V2O5 and WO3 were synthesized by impregnation method. Chlorobenzene was used as the model compound of CVOCs to conduct the activity evaluations and in-situ FT-IR experiments of above catalysts, and then to clarify the roles of V2O5 and WO3 in the catalytic oxidation process of chlorobenzene at the molecular level. The results showed that the increase of V2O5 content was the key to improve the activity and stability of the catalyst. The degradation pathway of chlorobenzene on different active components was similar: benzene ring opening by gradual oxidation, subsequent oxidation of the intermediates. V2O5 had a strong oxidation of chlorobenzene, and lots of intermediates could be observed at 100 ℃. And with the increase of temperature, intermediates could be rapidly oxidized and decomposed. In contrast, the catalytic performance of WO3 was very poor, intermediates could be clearly observed only when the reaction temperature reached 300 ℃, but there was a synergistic effect between V2O5 and WO3. By studying the reaction mechanism at the molecular level above, it was helpful to further develop V2O5-based catalysts with better performance for the catalytic oxidation of CVOCs. Key words:V2O5-WO3/TiO2/ V2O5/ chlorobenzene/ catalytic oxidation/ in-situ FTIR.
