Catalytic oxidation of toluene: comparative study over powder and monolithic manganese-nickel mixed oxide catalysts.

This paper is focused on development of the metal monolithic structure for total oxidation of toluene at low temperature. The well-adhered catalyst, based on the mixed oxides of manganese and nickel, is washcoated on the Al/AlO plates as metallic support. For the comparison purposes, results observed for the manganese-nickel mixed oxide supported on the metallic monolith are compared with those obtained using powder type of the same catalyst.
