Abstract
Catalytic decomposition of benzene was carried out on various metal oxides. Pure titania is not effective in decomposing 99% of benzene even at temperature of 600°C. Addition of vanadia improves its ability to decompose benzene. Titania-vanadia catalyst can decompose 99% of benzene at 410°C. The combination of titania/vanadia/tungsten oxide is more effective. It can decompose 99% of benzene at as low as 355°C.
