Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are atmospheric pollutants that have been of concern for researchers in recent years because they are toxic, difficult to remove, and widely sourced and easily cause damage to the environment and human body. Most scholars use low-temperature plasma biological treatment, catalytic oxidation, adsorption, condensation, and recovery techniques to treat then effectively. Among them, catalytic oxidation technology has the advantages of a high catalytic efficiency, low energy consumption, high safety factor, high treatment efficiency, and less secondary pollution; it is currently widely used for VOC degradation technology. In this paper, the catalytic oxidation technology for the degradation of multiple types of VOCs as well as the development of a single metal oxide catalyst have been briefly introduced. We also focus on the research progress of composite metal oxide catalysts for the removal of VOCs by comparing and analyzing the metal component ratio, preparation method, and types of precursors and the catalysts' influence on the catalytic performance. In addition, the reason for catalyst deactivation and a correlation between the chemical state of the catalyst and the electron distribution are discussed. Development of a composite metal oxide catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of VOCs has been proposed.
