Zeolite-Based Materials for Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds

Abstract

Owing to the structural stability, modifiable acidity, and abundant pores/channels, zeolite-based materials can act as catalysts or supports for effective conversion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this review, a series of VOC oxidation processes catalyzed by zeolite-based materials will be introduced, which include thermal oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, plasma-driven removal, catalytic ozonation, microwave-assisted degradation, and hybrid systems, where the specific roles, modification strategies, and structure–performance relationships of zeolites are discussed in depth. The following topics will also be covered, including the catalytic mechanisms of VOC oxidation, types of zeolite-based materials in VOC catalytic oxidation, operation parameters in the processes, and reactor designs for efficiency optimization and cost control.
