Low-temperature selective catalytic reduction was carried out over various kinds of manganese oxide (MnOx) catalysts. Mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3, commercial bulk Mn2O3, and Mn/SBA-15 were used as the catalyst. The NOx removal performances of the catalysts were compared. Three different amounts of Mn (5, 10, and 15 wt%) were impregnated on SBA-15 to synthesize Mn/SBA-15. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were examined by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and H2-temperature programmed reduction analyses. Of all catalysts examined, mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3 exhibited the highest low-temperature SCR de-NOx efficiency, reaching about 90% at 175 degrees C. This is attributed to strong reducing ability and high oxygen mobility of mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3 and well dispersed Mn2O3 in its mesoporous framework.

Due to the many applications of manganese oxides in water treatment, this research aimed to synthesize α-MnO nanoparticles through a green method and investigate the dye adsorption capacity of them. The α-MnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using KMnO and aqueous extract of Pyracantha angustofolia fruits under hydrothermal conditions and calcination. The products were identified using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses.

Manganese oxides are one of the most important groups of materials in energy storage science. In order to fully leverage their application potential, precise control of their properties such as particle size, surface area and Mn (x) (+) oxidation state is required. Here, Mn3O4 and Mn5O8 nanoparticles as well as mesoporous α-Mn2O3 particles were synthesized by calcination of Mn(II) glycolate nanoparticles obtained through an economical route based on a polyol synthesis.

The catalytic oxidation of benzene was carried out over mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3, MnOx/KIT-6, and bulk commercial Mn oxides (Mn2O3, MnO2, and MnO). The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and temperature-programmed reduction analysis. MnOx/KIT-6, prepared by impregnating MnOx on KIT-6, exhibited a low activity for the oxidation of benzene, whereas mesoporous alpha-Mn2O3, manufactured using KIT-6 as the template, showed a high activity.
