Promoted Catalytic Properties of Acetone over Cerium-Modified Mullite Catalyst YMn2O5 by Xiaotian Mu, Wenhuan Wang, Kai Zhang, Honglei Ding, Weiguo Pan

“…Experimental results confirm that Y0.9Ce0.1Mn2O5 had optimum acetone oxidation activity, completely achieving 100% acetone conversion at 120°C under the reaction conditions of acetone concentration = 1000 ppm, 20 vol% O2/N2 and WHSV = 36000 mL g−1 h−1. This excellent catalytic activity comes from its larger specific surface area and higher Mn4+/Mn3+ molar ratio. …”
